The Infrared Thermometer

Monday, May 17th, 2010

I just got this neat gadget from ebay:

It can measure almost anything from -32 to 350c at a distance using a infrared sensor.

So far I’ve made some amazing scientific discoveries for mankind:

  • The surface temperature of hands and arms varies between 33-36 c
  • The perfect frying pan temperature for making veggie burgers is 220 c
  • 65-70c is the optimal temperature a slice of pizza
  • A sleeping ferret only has a temperature of 28c, thanks to good insulating fur
  • The thermometer can be used to detect sleeping ferrets (there are lots of blankets in the living room)
  • The mean temperature difference between the floor and ceiling in my apartment is 2.2c
  • Driving at 80 km/h on a motorcycle a cold spring night gives your legs a surface temperature of 16 c (full riding gear).
  • The paint from a can of spray paint (the kind used for cars/motorcycles) is quite cold: 0-1 c
  • When using quick epoxy, the chemical reaction from mixing the base and primer makes the epoxy 35 c (in a 14 c ambient temperature).

The tapwater temperature

In an effort to prevent Stacy from using to hot water while making lemonade, I measured the temperature in 100 ml increments, showing that the water will at first have the room temperature of the kitchen, followed by the room temperature of the basement before reaching the optimal 4-5 c temperature. This took around 8 liters (or 15 seconds), but will of course vary from building to building.

Home made Christmas tree

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Stacy made a hanging (ferretproof) Christmas tree today, I on the other hand spent the day sawing, hammering and working on the gift for mom (which I can’t post pictures of currently because of security reasons)

Star Trek Online

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

After years of following the development, Star Trek Online is finally in closed beta, and the game is on track for a early 2010 release :)

The cryptic character creator will allow you to invent new species for the game, and I might go for something like this:
cryptic_ferret

Or if that is not possible my character will be Andorian (assuming this fits well with a tactical/dps character). I’m in the “guild” called “12th fleet”, and we are now the second largest guild on the STO forum. So if you want to play with the pro’s, head over to http://www.12th-fleet.com :)

Why so serious?

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

Despite being a vegetarian for almost 3 years I still serve the best pork chops in Trondheim (recommended by 3/3 ferrets)

Watering the ferrets

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Since it’s so hot outside, I set up the ferrets little swimming pool in the kitchen.

And as well all know ferrets go completely insane when they get to play with water, which resulted in some pretty interesting pictures of Pinky looking retarded:

Nature photography

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Me and a friend drove around Byneset outside Trondheim today, got a few nice pictures. The last one I have to admit, was taken at home.
