My Virtual Life

       There are two things I like doing while going online listening to music, and looking up information in the  Nuclear field. I used to never like going online until I started working at Columbia University. I use to work around the clock, and alone in a lab for hours.Then one day I wanted to listen to some music online. I found this station that played underground Neo Soul music in Dallas,Texas. Surprisingly I didn't know Dallas had a underground scene. That station linked me to other underground station on the internet with the same type of music. Certain shows would have other radio guest on there show. I would jot down their information and look their station up. I found out that Columbia University has a station as well called WKCR 89.9. I listen to their station when I get off work at 2am. I would also continue listening at home online depending on the guest. After llistening to that show in the morning 6 hours later I'm catching up on another show from Atlanta Georgia. Georgia Tech radio 99.1 WRECK Room Renaissance. They air online Thursday night but I'm at work doing those times. I have a total off six good underground station I listen to online from Friday to Saturday. SSaturday has one the best shows 88.1 online Toronto. I get to listen to the best of old hip hop and the new underground artist. New York radio won't play the music I like becasue of ratings but soon the underground would be heard.
        While at Columbia University I started looking up the industry that I'm in. I just jump around on the internet looking up information on who got what grant for a new linear accelerator particle machine. What new products were made by research. It sounds boring but I get a kick out of finding new Cyclotrons machines, and learning the history of how the PET TRACE industry was created. My boss told me she has a brother who's an electrician at BrookHaven Laboratories in Long Island. So I looked them up and found out they birthed the industry that I'm in. They completed their research in 1982 and moved on to bigger things. I aslo ran into a couple of pictures of cyclotrons. If you ever seen one its very intimidating. I found the biggest cyclotron machine in Toronto called Titus. You can actually go there for tours as well. This company in Sweden called CERN are trying to create the Black Hole again......look it up.
      I really don't do much on the internet. When I get home I just play music, and sometimes watch a movie. Now I'm back in school I use it now for essay research. It feels good not going to the library anymore.
