There is a strange red dust all over Southern New South Wales…
Ninja Garden
September 18, 2009
Here at sphericalcubes productions, we are creating a game. This game will be released for free under the creative commons licence and is called Ninja Garden. To keep the production reletively clouded in mistery, all we are going to tell you is that it is 8 bit.
Onto the subjec t of music, in a few months, the first Walrus Soup album will be released.
ACK!

I haven’t posted in ages!
A lot of things have happened, but I don’t really need to say much.
Flamingwatermelons.wordpress.com is a competition that has started! woo!
I am joining the independent games industry, and will be releasing one tech demo a week, so Wait for a while for the first one to come out!
I am about to put some of my music up on the internet (and some of other people in Walrus soup as well).
I am starting a group of 5 people to make music, and release it for free on the internet. “Why free, you could get alot of money with music.” you say? well, I will use some arguments from the Hanster alliance who has a post about this here.
1.Music should be free Why? Because it is an art. But doesn’t that mean that the artist deserves to be paid for their art? No, art galleries are free to get into arn’t they? The radio is free (sort of), so you are paying to listen to something you could hear for free. That’s not very fair, is it.
2.We don’t need money from music. None of us have jobs, and soon we will have jobs, but we could get more money from something else, with all these illegal downloads going on.
3.We won’t get any illegal downloads costing us money. All artists have had their money stolen by people illegally downloading their album for free. But if the album is already free, and downloadable off the internet, then they won’t have to upload files and hope they don’t get arrested by the police.
Also, the flaming watermelons competition is going to start in 15 days! I have to think of a prize very quickly….
Update
April 6, 2009
Sorry I haven’t been posting, I’ve had a huge English assignment. The main thing I am talking about in this post is a competition I am going to start. It’s called the Flaming Watermelons, and I will start a blog for it soon. It is a music competition where you can enter music that you composed. All submited music will be posted for download on the internet and the finalists will be voted on by everyone.The competition only goes for 6 months, so get started!

Hi.
On Saturday I went to my church’s annual bush dance. It was really good, especially the heel and toe.
I got a really cool painting called earthly evening from the auction that happened on the night as well.
Speaking of paintings, I still haven’t uploaded my artworks, but I am almost ready to start my podcast (called “Trapped”)
I’ll try to post a bit more.
Niels Henrik David Bohr
February 24, 2009
Niels Bohr was born in Copenhagen on 7th October 1885 and Died on November 18 1962 in his home.
Niels Researched into atoms and radiation, for instance, he said that when an electron Jumps from an outer orbit into and inner one, it emits light. Other Physicists later expanded this into quantum mechanics. He won the Nobel Prize in 1922 “for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them”
. He also helped split the atom and advised the American scientists building the atomic bomb. He donated his Gold Nobel Prize Medal to the Finnish war effort. After the Second World War he established the Atoms for Peace convention and he helped found CERN (Europe’s particle accelerator and research station). He also made several theories, such as things may have a dual nature (Electrons being waves and particles) but that they can only be one of these things at once and the liquid drop theory which let people understand nuclear fission and in turn inspired the splitting of the atom. His Son Aage went on to be a physicist and also won the Nobel Prize in 1975 “for the discovery of the connection between collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei and the development of the theory of the structure of the atomic nucleus based on this connection”.
He expanded the theory put forward by Ernest Rutherford of the atom having a small dense Nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons. There were many problems with this theory, because classic physics said that the electrons of an atom should slowly lose energy and spiral towards the middle and thus cause the atom to collapse on itself. Niels solved this problem by saying that Electrons existed at various fixed energy levels, until the atom absorbed or lost energy. If an atom lost energy, the electrons would move closer to the nucleus. If the atom gained energy, the electrons would move further away from the nucleus. This would keep the atom “Balanced”.
He also proved that an atom would only emit radiation if it was in an “in-between” stage, i.e. an electron was moving from one energy level (distance from the Nucleus) to another. This also explained the lines observed in the spectrum of light emitted from an atom of hydrogen.
He created this theory (which was later proven to be correct) by looking at all the evidence and research other physicists had done over the past few years. All the Physicists liked the theory because it fit all the evidence that had been proven over time.
Niels Bohr proved that atoms were always stable and moved its electrons to a different distance from the nucleus when it did not have a stable amount of energy. He also proved that atoms only emitted radiation when the electrons were moving from an outer energy level to an inner level and visa versa.
He allowed physicists to accept the “shell” model of an atom that we still use today. If Niels had never had done what he did, we would probably still be using the plum pudding model because the Physicists believed there were to many problems with Rutherford’s model for it to be correct, yet the plum pudding model had only one problem. This problem was later realized to be too much of a problem and the Plum pudding model was no longer accepted.

It’s funny.
What is?
No idea.
I really need to update my blog more often, but I haven’t been doing that because I’ve been lazy and I just started school again. yay.
anyways, I will upload some artworks I have done to sphericalcubes.info soon if you want to check them out.
There is aproximately 30MB of images, which is a lot, so I will be putting them in a zip file. I will post here when I upload them.
