I Look Goofy
Found this pic of me tonight on Flickr (from BlogWorldExpo last month)…
Weird yet kinda cool I think. I definitely talk with my hands too much.
It was a fun talk, nonetheless.
Songza
I found a great little web jukebox tonight called Songza. If you’ve got a tune stuck in your head and need a fix, it’s perfect.
Quantum Physics for Beginners
Wow, I wish I had this video while I was teaching 8th grade Physical Science (and trying to demonstrate quantum physics with just a chalkboard and lots of enthusiasm).

Downloadable AJAX Code
Stumbled across a great site called miniajax.com and thought I’d share. Create some fun stuff and enjoy.

To the Net-based cognitive tools that are changing our lives —

My pal Jon didn’t like the book, but he’s in the Oprah Book Club… so go figure.
thx to boingboing for the link.
Reality Check
Thanks to Phil at BadAstronomy for the reality check…
In the new Hubble image of the galaxy M74 we can also see a smattering of bright pink regions decorating the spiral arms. These are huge, relatively short-lived, clouds of hydrogen gas which glow due to the strong radiation from hot, young stars embedded within them; glowing pink regions of ionized hydrogen (hydrogen that has lost its electrons). These regions of star formation show an excess of light at ultraviolet wavelengths and astronomers call them HII regions.
Go out and look at the stars tonight. It’ll make you a better human.
