Ok, So we got some emails in and here they are. I was impressed with the response,
You can ask the Deryck At Thederyck@att.net
Amy in Oklahoma City asks:
Deryck, What were your favorite science projects in elementary school?
Well, I have Three Favourites, My most favourite would have to be measuring the length of Television waves using a bit of cardboard covered in foil and a yard stick. i got accurate measurements of of each of the major news stations (confirmed by telephoning them) and "presented my findings".other years i did projects on phototropism and osmosis
Walter in Tulsa Asks:
What exactly is the difference between Hard Scifi and Soft scifi? i can't seem to find a decent answer on this?
This is actually a good question and no longer a topical one, since in my opinion,this question relates more to the classical science fiction literature prior to the cold war. Hard science Fiction in a literary sense, focuses on scientific detail especially in the sciences of Astronomy, Physics, And so on. Soft Science Fiction focuses on primarily on other fields like Psychology, or Anthropology for that matter.
Good writers to look at for Hard Science Fiction would be Asimov, the Strugaskys, Aurthur C. Clarke, And Stephen Baxter/
For Soft Science Fiction, i would recommend Ray Bradbury or Philip K. Dick.

I want to due the geeky wine charms for a party i wanna throw for my bud's birthday but my local radio shack only carries cell phones and laptops?
I had to research online for this but i found alot of electronics components retailers online with google, i recommended shopping around there.
Vaughn in Norman Writes:
Mr. Deryck, will you help me complete my biology homework?
well it depends, if you need help with dissection, then i would love to help out, if you just want me to answer your questions, then no, that is what your overpriced textbook is for :)
Cassidy in Oklahoma City writes:
Deryck, we met at sauced a few months ago and had a conversation about Mars, you mentioned that you have you name on a CD that was sent with the Mars Phoenix Lander, how did you manage that?
I am Glad to hear from you and thanks for checking out the site, even though it is still in its infancy, its easy! all you have to do is be a member of the Planetary Society! a leading space advocacy group founded in part by Dr. Carl Sagan. Since in your email you provided you address, i took the leberty of sending you a one years gift membership! to renew its only 25 dollars after this year, you should get a packet from them shortly, on a related note, when i was younger my parents bought a star and had it named after me. this used to be a novelty gift back in the day, i think you can still do it actually, but dont try to take out aline of credit on it, the banker wil look at you like your crazy!
As soon as the pictures are ready, i shall be posting how to make your own non newtonian fluid, as well as add some new arcticles about exciting new research being done in several fields, i just need to peruse a few science journals.
