Sorry, this'll be a lame blog.

The super bowl is taking up a lot of my time (the advertisements are super funny!). So I guess since I've been sitting in front of the tv for a while, might as well blog about it.

Sorry, this won't be as witty as I would like it to be, but the football is calling for me...

So I was watching the half time show starring The Who (which I didn't know they were the ones who sung the theme to all the CSI shows...Don't shoot me, fans!). Their awesome light show with the epileptic lights made me remember why tv ties into Physics more than one realizes.

It ties in to what we are currently learning (no pun intended) since we need electricity to run it. The electrons travel through the wire in a zig-zag, curvy motion until it gets to its destination, powering up the TV. Those electrons bounce off the screen at varying speeds in order to light up the screen at different frequencies, which create pictures. The tv is attached to a cable that gets certain images from its mother company which allows the electrons to correspond with the images that the cable is trying to convey (or something like that). It's probably a lot more complicated that that, using fiber optics which we won't get to for a while.

The score is so close right now, but I hope this last quarter will be good. I'm not saying who I'm rooting for, since it'll jynx them, but best of luck to both teams.

Yay for me forgetting my history notes at school when I have a test tomorrow!!! T_T
