Sorry everyone! Busy weekend so I never got the chance to even follow my news feeds!  So in traditional weekend fashion I will give you a not very serious post.  In this weeks edition, WALLPAPERS!

Note that none of the wallpapers in this post will be my own works, if you have any information regarding where you think they came from I would love to be able to add that in.

More wallpapers after the jump.

I Promise, I'll Only Mention Cars Once

Today, I will not have more than one small note about cars, promise.  Otherwise it is onto Mars and cool nano tech!

O Captain My Captain

So yes besides all of the other geeky things I do, I have a deep love of comic books(or at least the over the top characters with cool back stories).  So that is why I knew that I had to make the teaser for todays post be the cover of this weeks Entertainment Weekly.

After the jump, I'll bring you cars that I wish were already in the U.S. and an awesome TED talk.

My blog lacks planes

It is a freaking solar bonanza this week.  By that I mean my god, there is so many solar projects getting announced and discussed.  This post is brought to you by Pandora and this awesome jazz/blues playlist I'm rocking right now, oh yeah and the sun.  Because without that wonderful blackbody fission plant in the sky I wouldn't be able to talk about all this solar news today.

More love for this giant ball of awesome and more after the jump.

Big, Green, and Chilly

Back into normal weekday form folks!  That means technology, politics, science, funny news and hopefully a little engineering while we are at it!  Also make sure to vote on the poll that way I know what kind of subjects you are primarily interested in!

See the post, after the jump!

Why is the United States Top Gear Retarded?

Today I am bringing you a piece on Top Gear(2002-present), the world's funniest production TV series.

Games, Books, and Mandelbrot

What a great weekend, even though my beloved Carnegie Mellon Tartans lost in heartbreaking fashion I find myself having a great day.  Weather was wonderful in Pittsburgh and great times were had.  So I have decided to keep weekends a little less serious.  In the future you will probably see music, video game, and music post with some cool tech links just so that you can still get your tech/science fix!

Just to give you an idea of what I was jamming to while I was writing this up.

Current Games:

League of Legends

Current Champion of Choice: Olaf(The Techno Viking, or Brolaf)

More on League of legends and the rest of the post after the jump!

Friday is for lovers, and goofy news stories

So I had basically all day to sit around and figure out a great post for the blog, but what did I do?  Yes, that's is right, I watched the sub-par season premiere of Syfy's Sanctuary and listened to a most interesting talk given by Dr. Andreas Polycarpou. (Also, I need to write down somewhere that this show is somehow getting worse...)  So all I have for you today, is a random selection of articles that will hopefully interest some of you!

I'm not sure how good my french lip reading is, but I am fairly certain I wouldn't say it in front of Granny...but I might after the jump!

No wonder people ride bikes in France

First of all I’m going to promote my twitter here, www.twitter.com/mrmoment.  I would really like to be able to use this as a form of communication between myself and all of you who check out the blog.  Would make it much easier for me to network with all of you as well!

The post can be seen after the jump!

Dear Old Tech

Hello everyone,

Today’s moment about is going to take a moment to discuss what exactly the tech in a moment about tech is.  The tech is a reference CIT, or Carnegie Institute of Technology which is the original form of Carnegie Mellon University and is still the name referring to the engineering college.  With that explained, we can move into actual business.

All the articles, links, and other information after the jump!

Cool Links and WPs for the road

Well it doesn't look like I'm probably going to be able to get anything really coming into the blog tonight.  However, I'm not one to leave you with nothing so here are a few links and a few WP's to keep you interested, all after the break.

A moment about a moment about tech

As a rule, I am a person who like's get to know what a person is about before I would take the time to read their thoughts and interest.  In this line of thought, I would like to first explain what exactly as a reader you should expect this blog to focus on and why you should continue checking in from time to time to check out any post that I might post here.

I plan on posting my thoughts on certain aspects of technology, engineering, and environmental issues that may be brought up by current events or perhaps just pulled out of the air on a whim.  I wouldn't be merely commenting on things I had read in other blogs or news sites unless I myself can bring a new analysis or viewpoint into the picture although I might occasionally make note of interesting articles simply to allow you to read up on interesting happenings.

Perhaps the next issue is answering to why you would want to listen to my thoughts.  I am just an engineering minded individual who tries to look over issues not just from a single point of view but instead from viewpoints that look at multiple impacts that the topic could create.  I hope to not produce overly preachy or sermon style dialogs about the evil of things that I personally don't think are a true benefit, instead I hope to accurately convey my opinion and by doing so bring about interesting dialogs and perhaps allow for an increase in the dissemination of knowledge to the readers as well as to myself.

On that note I do encourage commenting and I will hopefully be able to review them with enough consistency to respond to any varying opinions.  I hope this will become an interesting place of discussion and not simply another one sided, highly opinionated blog.

  and remember, let us keep this moment positive.
