The Science of Sleep (Paralysis)
03.02.10 | Permalink | 2 CommentsThis is really scary and you probably shouldn’t watch it if you have trouble sleeping. Like I did. Super-interesting nonetheless.
It’s ok though. If you do have trouble sleeping after watching the video, you can download the iPhone app, Sleep Cycle. Pretty much the coolest app I’ve so far used and the [more…]

Clementine
I’ve hated New Year’s Eve for as long as I can remember. The entertainment bar is set so high, it’s nearly impossible to reach. I figure if I hate it, I’ll lower expectations and may have a good time. Regardless, I always participate in the spectacle kicking and screaming. Every year [more…]

Here’s a pretty animation by Roy Prol of what it would look like if Earth had rings like Saturn. The funny thing is, this is where we’re headed if we don’t get a handle on the space trash we’ve been depositing in orbit for years.

Human Space Exploration Map
Thought this was pretty cool. It’s a map by National Geographic documenting humankind’s entire historical presence in space. From landings to flybys. A couple of surprises here.

Sweating Bullets
Bullets are mesmerizing. Especially in slow-mo. Found this on Kottke.org. 10 minutes of bullets shot at things and set to trance music. Captured at 1,000,000 frames per second. I bet you watch the whole thing.

Bulls-Eye
Nothing like shooting two bullets at a rock… for science! This morning, NASA conducted a test to determine whether water ice exists in the lunar soil, by plunging two care packages into the moon. Sweet sweet Luna. What did she ever do to you beside provide her warm moonlight upon thee?
