Calorie,

I'll second that.

A lot of readers here at TOD are scientists, engineers, computer wizards, etc.

It doesn't blow them away when someone posts a chemical formula

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3

or a math equation

y= A*e^-(kt)

But think about your average swim coach.
This stuff may sound like a lot of hooey.
Maybe we need a TOD-Lite site?

Not really. They can just jump in and sink or swim :^)

Just point 'em to the Tech Talk link on the main page and give 'em the laws of thermodynamics:

  • You can't win;
  • You can't break even;
  • And you can't get out of the game.

That, and children are much faster learners than adults ...

Thanks DIYer. Those Tech Talks in the early days of TOD were really educational. Note how few comments there were back in '05.
