    Arecibo

    While I never used data from Arecibo directly in my academic background, seeing a grand old instrument that has provided decades of service to science being decommissioned rather than repaired is something that's hard to cope with. Obviously, repairs should be conducted safely, but to just decommission Arecibo seems like such an inglorious end to its service.

    Well...

    I'm slightly disappointed that Snowflake is officially Bulk Biceps now, but that's just a name change. (Though why did he have so much trouble flying in "Rainbow Falls" when he was in "Wonderbolt Academy" and seemingly capable of easy flight?)

    Shoot for the... Oh Frak!

    Made this earlier today in GIMP and Paint (I was having problems with layer masking and alpha channels).

Pony names · 12:19am Apr 30th, 2013

So I was pondering pony names for myself, or more appropriately, names for my blue-colored pony avatar on the bike trip to campus this morning. Some highlights:

Lantern Light
Lantern Glass
Lamp Wick
Arrow Tip
Arrow Point
Lens Light
Tank
Tank Hit
Hammer Tank
Gravity Hammer

None of them really thrill me, to be honest, but part of that comes from not being truly specialized in life (I've got unrelated physical science and social science advanced degrees, I'm a competitive grifballer, I read a lot, etc.). The light-related ones I came up with as being tied to sparks of inspiration or the light of knowledge. The arrow ones are tied to my username which is in turn vaguely related to my actual name. Tank, while apropos as that is both my preferred role and my somewhat focused Grifball skill, is the name of Rainbow Dash's pet (though thinking about that as I type this up, could always lead to interesting dialogue should my avatar and RD encounter each other).

In any case, I would point out that I have no interest in author inserts should I ever write a fanfic. My avatar is a pony version of me without access to metaconstructs or other out-of-universe knowledge.
