More “Wow”

I don’t know if you’re aware, but 3D printing has been around for a few years now. 3D printers move back and forth over the printing surface like a regular ink jet printer would, only instead of spraying a bit of ink on a piece of paper, they squirt (the official term appears to be [...]

Passwords

I’ve been meaning to get to this for a while because it’s important.  Next time you create a password for an account, keep this advice in mind. I have been doing this for a while, as a guy I really respect in our IT department told me about it several months ago.  Using a phrase [...]

Measuring ripples in (space-)time

Sort of.  Using a satellite to prove Einstein right regarding two aspects of general relativity. It sounds like a really ingenious experiment, and it only cost NASA $760 million.  A ground-breaking achievement according to some.  A complete waste of money which merely confirmed similar research done a few years ago using a much cheaper method [...]

Science video

A video of pendulum motion for a series of pendulums of different lengths.  Yes, I know it sounds dull, but click on the link anyway.  It’ll be worth it.  I promise.

That much closer to Marvin

Or maybe not.  Douglas Adams had a character in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Marvin, an incredibly intelligent robot who was, for lack of a better term, terminally depressed.
