Far too cool. (snicker)

Like this spirally jaggy design?

Would you be interested to know that it’s actually a series of concentric perfect circles?

Blows my mind. I want a desktop wallpaper built on this.

This will likely only make sense to a few of you, but I had to post it anyway.

The LCROSS lunar mission smashed into the moon earlier this month with the intended goal of raising a plume of dust that could be analyzed for traces if water ice. There was a twitter feed for the mission that was being presented as a “first person” perspective, as if the LCROSS vehicle itself was posting.

“And what’s this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round,”

“it needs a big wide sounding name like ‘Ow’, ‘Ownge’, ‘Round’, ‘Ground’!”

“That’s it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it’ll be friends with me?”

Mr. Adams would have shed a tear and burst with pride.

That’s week one of the One Hundred Pushups Challenge done.

My “after the workout, as many as you can until you can’t do any more” count for the three workouts were 10, then 15, then 21.

I have no idea why they’re going up so fast, I can’t believe that it’s actual muscle building making that much difference in a week.

I hardly see any change at all, actually…

This is an incredible piece of technology from the TED Conference.

Imagine a camera that scans your hands and the things you are holding, and then projects information (such as Amazon ratings on books, price comparisons on products) right on the thing you are holding.

That doesn’t even do it justice. Just go look at the 8 minute video. I am not all that crazy about all the new multitouch surfaces and “finger tracking software as computer interface” projects that seem to be the rage in research right now, but THIS excites me.

Oh, and be careful. If you start browsing the TEDTalks site, you might never have a moment of spare time again.
