WELCOME!

Kali ini lagi pengen blogging untuk review album terbarunya Adele. Pertama kali denger suara Adele sekitar 2.5 tahun lali di Prambors FM. Sekali denger langsung klik, beda banget sama genre musik jaman populer itu (yang didominasi oleh Queen of Gimmick : Lady Gaga). Lalu sekitar 2 minggu lalu baru aja beli CD Adele teranyar '21'. Sekali diputer di CD player kamar, langsung ngga diganti" sampai sekarang ! Let's start then. Artist : Adele Release Date : February 2011 Genre : Pop - Soul Yes, akhirnya singer yang bener" ngejual vocalnya (bukan sex appeal, bukan super nerd costum, bukan electro sound base music, bukan dance super heboh) muncul kembali. Setelah tahun 2008 bikin heboh dengan 'Chasing Pavements' nya, kali ini si blue-eyed singer ini muncul lagi dengan album ngga kalah soulful. Album bertitle '21' (kenapa 21? kata dia itu adalah umur dia pas nulis lagu2nya -_____- jayus tenan alesane) ini bermaterikan lagu lagu patah hati. SEMUA. 100%. No c...

All life depends on water. It's a precious resource in arid regions such as Colorado where precipitation from rain and snow must meet the needs of wildlife, municipal, agricultural, industrial and recreational users. Given these growing demands, efficient water use in our operations is essential. There are many ways to preserve this resource and they all start with us. Here are just a few things we can all do to preserve this precious resource : Always fill reusable water bottle. Americans buy more than 8 billions gallons of bottled water a year and toss more than 22 billion empty plastic bottles in the trash. Run the clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1.000 gallons a month. Turn off the water while brushing you teeth and save 25 gallons a month. Turn the faucet off. For every minute you reduce you faucet use, you save about 1.6 gallons of water. Install a new low-flow showerhead. It can save 25-50 percent more water. Xeriscape...

Total lunar eclipse ended (22:02 UTC) as seen in Dubai (http://eclipse.slooh.com) This is purely my opinion. I am not an astrophysicist nor planetary geophysicist. Can an eclipse change earth's gravity ? It depends, it boils down into which eclipse and scale you are talking. However, my notes below is open for discussion. An eclipse is an astronomical event that happens when one astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of other bodies or by getting other bodies pass between it and the viewer. The term eclipse is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the shadow of E arth. Unfortunately, I never heard/read historical daily data on Earth's gravity, because (once again : only my opinion) this is only a function of the Earth's size and mass, both of which are not changing significantly over time. There is only one regular c...

BIG SURPRISE ! My last poster on SPWLA will be published in the Petrophysics Journal ! Whoaa - such a bizarre great announcement for rookie like me ! Petrophysics Journal means a lot to me. When I came to the U.S and started to learn rock physics, this journal was the first publication I studied. Most of my thesis' references I got from this journal ! What makes this journal different than any other Geophysics / Geology journal is its specific topic covers on petrophysics, rock physics, drilling, and well log analysis only. So you won't expect to see much seismic section here. Now, having my own paper in the journal I am used to read is really cool ! (tho, I need to start writing the paper!) The latest cover issue of Petrophysics Journal ! Yes, I am used to read tons of papers from this journal ! Big credits to Anthony Holmes (the President of DWLS) for promoting my poster to the Petrophysics Journal, and of course to my advisers for their big supports. Also for you whose read...

Salah satu tempat hang out weekend pagi" lumayan asoi di Golden selama summer adalah Golden Farmer's Market. Apa itu? Basically ini semacem 'pasar' dadakan yang digelar hanya di setiap hari Sabtu dala m satu minggu, uda gitu cuma buka dari jam 8-12 aja. Tentu pasar dsini bukan kayak pasar Beringharjo (yang kalo mau jalan aja harus adu pantat dulu, mana panas gila) atau pasar Kranggan (yang kalo abis ujan selalu becek). Versi pasar dsini pake tenda" macem penjual merchandi se di Soundr enaline. Kenapa Golden Farmer's Market? Soalnya ni event (duile event, apa coba) cuma ekseees 3 bulan saza, dimulai dari awal summer - berakhir di awal fall. Jadi ini ngga ada di musim" lain (so pastilah coy, apalagi winter di Colorado bisa seekstrim -30 C, mending duduk manis deket heater deh). Apa aja yang dijual ? Seputaran makanan. Jadi macem sayuran, telur, pasta, bakery, susu, root beer (beer non al cohol mirip root beernya A&W), dll. Enaknya dsini adalah semu...
