This you're not going to believe but I swear it's true...
I got big time email inbox exitement going on over here, people and i just can't contain myself anymore.
I think I'm going to pop.
Guess who sent me email. Guess who typed the name mary.smaragdis-AT-sun-DOT-com, composed an email which included some words and an explanation point (!) and then hit the send button.
Oh, I can't even believe it, but it's true.
OK, here's a hint.
Here's another one.
I'm just beside myself.
So if you can even believe this (and frankly I'm still in denial that he actually even talked to me), he asked me to do something.
Which I am so all over.
And then, you know what i'm going to to do, people?
I am going to personally apply this creative energy of mine towards coming up with the most super spectacular idea for the JavaOne T-Shirt Hurling Contest
that this world has ever seen. Because gosh-darn-it, I have decided to make it my mission in life to figure out a way to get onstage at JavaOne 2005, and I think this T-Shirt Hurling Contest just might be my ticket.
First I gotta figure out what this means...
f=ma

force = mass * acceleration

I share your concern. I did consider including the Lorentz transformation and realtivistic mass and write the relativistic equations in my blog.
Then I thought, why stop there? Why not include General Relativity effects and use Einstein's field equations? After all, it's just 16 coupled hyperbolic-elliptic nonlinear partial differential equations...
Then I started thinking...how about quantum gravity? It wouldn't be fair if I left that out. I considered unifying gravity with the electro-weak and strong force (I do some work on quantum chromodynamics - QCD - in my spare time).
But I may get all the particle and string theorists all upset for solving their problem so I just decided to go back to plain old f = m x a.

I love it when the sisters read the blog. Especially when they post comments. Thanks for the support, sweet girlfriend!
Now, all you marketing girls out there.. please join me in doing a swivel, swivel, double-snap. Because we just scored a little victory here. And it's oh-so-sweet.
