I just spent the last ten or twenty minutes trying to determine if the flow in a straw when you suck on it is turbulent or laminar. I was only prevented from actually doing so (without any reference materials, mind!) by being unable to exactly recall the value of the dynamic viscosity of water, and therefore unable to determine the Reynold's number of the flow.

Yep, geek.

In related news, is anyone doing anything about the old "Geek Code" thing? I remember it stopped updating years ago, and I wonder if there are any good versions newly available.

(Of course, since nobody reads this journal, I'll have to find them myself. Fortunately, this is not a bad thing.)

Oh, and I actually did stuff today – more on that tomorrow sometime in the future.
