Mind Blowing 3D Animation: I, Pet Goat II [Video]
I won’t comment on the political or philosophical aspects behind this video, but from a visual perspective, this is one of the most brilliant 3D animation I’ve been given to watch in a long, long time. I’m especially happy to give it a little love since it comes from an animation studio that is located […]
ALERT! ALERT! INVADE ALL OF THE HUMANS!!!
I, for one, welcome our new minuature robot overlords. PX-Micron and Calculord 3 are homeless and deranged, and spend their days in the park laughing at humans and planning their invasion of Earth.

How NOT to Promote Science to Women [Video]

Weapons and power plants require uranium that contains a greater amount of the isotope uranium-235 than found in natural uranium, which is mostly uranium-238. He outlines the key difficulty in separating the two isotope: They have nearly identical properties. He explains the […]

Oh The Places You’ll Go – Best Grad Gift Ever
I love stories like this because while I am kicking myself for not thinking about it first, it is an incredible effort by a very caring father. An otherwise standard story of a teenage girl about to graduate high school while her loving father watched proudly. At the end of the ceremony congratulatory offerings of […]
