Petshot Digital Camera

Petshot

If anyone knows where I can get one of these my 8 year old daughter would love to have one. Petshot is a little digital camera that takes up to 15 images, saves them on a cartrage so you can share them with your friends or email (?) them and there is also a little digital pet that you can care for and play with.

Pretty Blue Light....

Texas A&M rocks! Where else can you tour a nuclear reactor? Sounds like just about the only things you don’t get to do it juggle fuel rods and swim in the reactor pool! Texas is looking like a better vacation spot every day…

When operating, the reactor gives off a blue glow known as Cherenkov Radiation.
When an intense radioactive source ejects high-energy charged particles into a transparent material such as water, plastic, or glass, a ghostly bluish glow extending some distance into the medium can be seen. This phenomenon is easily observed when a room containing a swimming pool reactor or a gamma facility is darkened. [Ours is intense enough that our facility does not need darkening to be able to view this phenomenon.]
