Talk about a sweet piece of machinery!
You need to check out the Samsung 5-megapixel cameraphone.
Now, the only question is when we'll get them here in the US

Test your retro skills.
I got 12 out of 18 on "Name that Game"
Who'd a thunk it - down in the muck there be "White Gold."
I did the math. That a tidy little sum he just raked in.
From a 1901 magazine:
"How to Defend Yourself with a Walking Stick"

Interesting. See who supported who, finanically speaking, state-by-state.
Nice full (and real) color images of the earth, compliments of NASA.
This is pretty cool - Skyshots.
Give it a moment for the music to load and start playing. Quite nice.

Proof that, sometimes, the English can be straight up strange - Are You a Noodler?

Isn't this kind of the plotline in a lot of movies (such as "Terminator" and "I, Robot," and in comic books such as "Grey")?
Now we're getting into some interesting applications of science.
I'm talking about sending e-mail and playing video games using only your brain.
Pretty cool!

I got 12 right.
Get A Sense of Scale.
From the Planck length (1.616x10 [to the -35th power] m - the smallest measurement of length that has meaning) to the distance to the farthest known object (26,000,000 kly or 2.4x10 [to the 26th power] m - quasar SDSS_1044_0125), and just about everything in between.

Ran across this while doing some homework for my Literature, Science, and Technology class. If you are an English buff this is ultra cool.
I'd never heard of it before, but apparently with the Perseus Digital Library at Tufts University, you can do cool stuff like check out what the First Folio edition of Merchant of Venice looked like.
Check it out - all kinds of cool English geeky stuff.
Um, okay - You try to do it.
