Friday, August 7, 2015. Grandchildren: The Grandest of the Grands! Last week, I had the distinct privilege of hosting Michaela and Samantha, two of our triplet grandchildren, for a week of Florida fun and sun adventures (and a bit of rain). They stayed with me at Freedom Pointe Independent Living, The Villages, FL, where my wife and I live. Samantha, Michaela, and I exercised our bodies as well as our minds as we cycled around The Villages. When we stopped for water at a postal facility, Susan, a complet...

http://tvpclub.blogspot.com/2015/06/visualizing-general-relativity.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. It took some ten years for Einstein to publish an extension of his (Special) Theory of Relativity from the relatively.

The Virtual Philosophy Club: "NO SHUCKS" silk-free corn-on-the-cob, quick and easy
http://tvpclub.blogspot.com/2011/10/no-shucks-silk-free-corn-on-cob-quick.html
Saturday, October 29, 2011. NO SHUCKS" silk-free corn-on-the-cob, quick and easy. For years, I've paid extra to buy corn-on-the-cob with the husk removed, or spent time shucking the corn and tossing the husks in the garbage can. And, despite best efforts, there is always that odd silk thread or two that remains behind pretending to be tooth floss! As the You Tube video shows (click image above to view), there is a much, much, MUCH easier way! How did you get along for. Years without this knowledge? 3) Ho...

The Virtual Philosophy Club: VISUALIZING: My Insight Into Lorentz Gamma
http://tvpclub.blogspot.com/2015/06/visualizing-my-insight-into-lorentz.html
Saturday, June 20, 2015. VISUALIZING: My Insight Into Lorentz Gamma. A key aspect of Einstein's Special Relativity is that, at high speeds, there is significant "Time Dilation" and "Length Contraction". In his 1905 Theory of Relativity paper, Einstein derives the equation that quantifies. These Relativistic Effects, apparently unaware that Hendrick Lorentz had earlier come up with the same equation. The "Lorentz Transform" or "Lorentz Gamma" (equation near the top of the graphic below) solves for ϒ.

The Virtual Philosophy Club: A Faith Restoring Event (a father, his son and his wife)
http://tvpclub.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-faith-restoring-event-father-his-son.html
Thursday, July 2, 2015. A Faith Restoring Event (a father, his son and his wife). It happened in Wrigley Field: the site of so many failures by the Chicago Cubs baseball team. Two days after Father’s Day, Keith Hartley took his son to a night game between the Cubs and the Dodgers. That isn’t unusual except the son Isaac is seven months old and wife, Kari, tagged along for boy’s night out. Not Keith and Zack. America is going wrong because its leaders are like the guys in the first rows at Wrigley Field&#...

Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Squat Toilet ("Squatty Potty" on "Shark Tank"). Want to "POOP BETTER"? The squat position helps me get GOing more easily and finish more completely. A recent episode of Shark Tank (ABC TV). Featured a squat toilet product you may purchase at the Squatty Potty website. Or you may use my alternative solution inspired by that product (see images below). The images below, from the official Squatty Potty. Website, illustrate why a squat toilet works so well. Gross, but interesting.
