Kalamazoo is exactly halfway between Detroit and Chicago. Does that give me any sort of justification in taking a reprieve from being a Pistons fan and following the Bulls? I think I just got sold on a BMiller behind the back pass…

Le Days - Blood Red Heart

“I am an arms dealer fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And (don’t really care which side wins)
As long as the room keeps singing that’s just the business I’m in
This ain’t a scene, it’s a goddamn arms race”

Hawkwind, Hurry on Sundown

Kind of think Hawkwind were way underrated 60s/70s band relative to, say, Pink Floyd. From 1970 debut album. More spaced out than the later rock vibe, but all good.

Dear God,

Thanks for the basketball. Really good. (gm)

Look, it’s your first tumbl post! How apropos! I like The Book of Basketball, but I am not a huge hoops fan. I thought Breaks of the Game was a little boring, for instance. (It could just be me and Halberstam, though.) I’m glad TBoB is pretty good, because I’ve been really, really down on Simmons, lately. I can see that he put in a lot of work and where.

I was going to read Breaks of the Game, probably off of his own recommendation, but it’s tough reading about people whose faces I wouldn’t recognize. Seven Seconds Or Less, on the other hand, was incredible because I had watched a lot of that team and the book filled in the gaps instead of creating the whole narrative… As for Simmons, I feel obligated to buy his book if only as a hat tip for the years of amusement. Glad to hear it’s actually good.

“Michigan should not follow Ohio’s lead. After graduation, students leave Rust Belt states such as Ohio and Michigan in search of job opportunities, not housing. Students want to explore and see other places; requiring them to settle down where they grew up within six months after graduation (as requires the Grants for Grads Program) is ridiculous and won’t work.”

Jim O’Rourke - Memory Lame

These things I say, may seem to offend
But not half as much, as I’d like to intend
Listening to you, reminds me of
A motor’s endless drone
And how the deaf are so damn lucky

“

Because an observer on the ground sees the satellites in motion relative to them, Special Relativity predicts that we should see their clocks ticking more slowly (see the Special Relativity lecture). Special Relativity predicts that the on-board atomic clocks on the satellites should fall behind clocks on the ground by about 7 microseconds per day because of the slower ticking rate due to the time dilation effect of their relative motion.

Further, the satellites are in orbits high above the Earth, where the curvature of spacetime due to the Earth’s mass is less than it is at the Earth’s surface. A prediction of General Relativity is that clocks closer to a massive object will seem to tick more slowly than those located further away (see the Black Holes lecture). As such, when viewed from the surface of the Earth, the clocks on the satellites appear to be ticking faster than identical clocks on the ground. A calculation using General Relativity predicts that the clocks in each GPS satellite should get ahead of ground-based clocks by 45 microseconds per day.
