Dr. Ellie Sattler played by Laura Dern (Mask, October Sky) is a Paleo-botanist (study of fossilized plants) and girlfriend to Dr. Alan Grant. As they both accept the invitation to Hammond's preserve, she is one of the first to realize that there were dangerous plants around the park itself-"you pick them because they look nice" It was certainly preface to what was ahead. During the park tour, they stumble upon a sick Triceratops. Dr. Sattler decides to split up with the rest of the group in order to stay back with Dr. Harding and care for the Trike. Her separation from the rest was ideal because she became the "go-to" woman and single handedly went to the power shed and turned on the park's fences manually while escaping from a hungry Velociraptor.

Orionid Meteor Shower

October 19th, 2009

The Orionid meteor shower peaks this week and it could be a very good show, as previous years has shown. The best time to look is before sunrise on Wednesday, October 21st. This is when the Earth encounters the densest part of Halley’s debris stream. The Orionids appear every year around this time when the Earth orbits through an area of space littered with debris from the comet. I wonder if I will be able to observe this with all the crappy weather New Jersey has been receiving.

On a side note: President Obama will be visiting Fairleigh Dickinson University on Wednesday, October 21st, to endorse Corzine’s re-election campaign. Getting to work on Wednesday will be a bitch-and-a-half. Management has yet to decide if we’re essential personnel. If we aren’t essential to the University, then, I get another unpaid day-off.

Another round of upgrading

October 18th, 2009

I made another round at finally upgrading to the latest version of Wordpress. I am staggered at the amount of work the developers put into this product. Now I have to tinker with all these new features to see what they do. Maybe I can incorporate it into the next design of JPdb. Yes, I’m still working on it. However, I’ve gotten nowhere with the new design since I’ve completed the new header back in 2007.

Until then, enjoy the following video featuring Carl Sagan:
