The Ultimate Geek Clock
I know I write a lot about being creative, but in reality, I have an undergraduate degree in math and accounting. Secretly, I still love math, physics in particular. Don’t hate me, okay?
Although the right side of my brain has taken over the past couple years, I still enjoy a challenging math e ...
For Your Inspiration: Magnificent Fractals
Since I love both math and art, I’ve always been fascinated with fractals. The Mandelbrot set is one of the most popular ways to play with fractals, and if you search on the internet, you’ll be able to find a Mandelbrot generator which will allow you to create some mind blowing mathematical picture ...
Robots that show real emotions! | Freaky!
It's not a news flash to anyone that we're getting closer and closer to the ultimate android helper. We've already been able to make them walk on two legs, listen and respond and even learn new things as time progresses. When I first saw this clip I was nothing but awestruck. I was simply blown away ...
The 43,000 Year Old Plant
Here we go again, I find myself writing about nature every week. I just can’t get enough of it. I was writing an excerpt for a client, and the Science channel was on the television in the background. I looked up when I heard them talking about a plant that has lived for 43,000 years. I had to st ...
Irresistible Microscope Photography
My friend, @cheth, sent a tweet yesterday with photographs taken with a unique technique called microscope photography. After seeing this awe-inspiring photography, I had to learn more about it. It’s so fascinating; I just have to share it with you.
We’ve all seen the children’s movies where th ...
Fluids, Viscosity and You!
I'm a bit of a science lover myself, its all awesome. But not only is it awesome but it is beautiful and intriguing.
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or extensional stress.
One of the most incredible and beautiful things is simple ...
Make a Paper Jet Engine!
Ok time for some science! Most of my youth was spent (or miss-spent depending on your perspective) burning or blowing stuff up. It must be a boy thing, almost like a right of passage, who knows.
Anyway, a good friend of mine who is now lecturing as a Dr of Chemical Engineering in a well known Eng ...
The Freak-of-Nature Egg
I grew up in the suburbs of Wisconsin and I've seen some pretty crazy things on my grandfather's farm, but I've never seen anything like this before. This egg is a total freak of nature.
First of all, I feel very sad for the chicken that laid this egg. She is probably in pain somewhere right ...
How To Flirt | The Science
It was just a matter of time until someone went and published this I think. It would have been quite obvious to publish this video clip as we're talking about social media and that it's taking over the world one person at the time. Is that making us less social? Not in the words meaning itself but i ...
Vortex Cannon & other things from Bang!
The BBC have recently launched a new science programme, its kind of a cross between Top Gear and Tomorrows World (for those who remember that...).  Each week they do some cool experiments and generally get to play with science.
A few weeks ago they made a huge vortex cannon to knock over some ...
Help, I’m Sinking in Quicksand!
Have you ever had one of those childhood fears that you carried with you to adulthood, only to find out later that it was never true? I’ve been afraid of quicksand my whole life. Ever since I saw some scary movie as a child, I’ve thought quicksand would be the most horrific death that anyone c ...
