So, I've got a question for you: eyes on planet Earth have evolved to pick up what we call the visible spectrum, approximately 400-700nm.  This happened because of the particular frequencies that are emitted from our sun.  Now, imagine a sun that emits a totally different set of ranges on the spectrum.  If intelligent life evolved on a planet around that sun and their eyes evolved to pick up different wavelengths, say way up in the 1400-2000nm range, what would they see if they came to Earth?  What would they look like to us?  What would we see on their planet?

No, I'm not stoned.

We're covering the electromagnetic spectrum in both chemistry and climate, so I've been thinking about this quite a bit this week.

I need to get some lunch and read up on photo developing, which we will be doing in photography today.

Thus far, I am only enjoying my photography and weight-training classes.  My sciences can suck a bag of dicks.  It's mostly the instructor's fault in both classes.  I love the material, but the operandus modi of the teachers makes me want to pull out my hair, weave it into a nice rug, and lay down and take a nap on it.

Playing with the spectrophotometer was pretty cool though.

My hands still smell like developer.

Ignore the streaks from the scanner (stupid, stupid scanner!) and this is the first photo  I developed and enlarged.  More on Thursday.  Oh, and my instructor entered the whole class in a show.  Guess I beter produce something good.
