Well duh… I thought they had this already.
Russia Suggests Spaceship Standardization
PED On Airlines
Brillant!!! This has got to be an improvement over the programming on Ted, I hope they adopt a system like this very soon on that carrier. I think that the $8 is a very fair price for something like this, especialy if the content is updated every day.

Fun With a Gun
I have got to give this a try. Back in high school I took a photo of a hammer breaking a light bulb and impressed the heck out of the teacher. I rigged a simple switch (a wire and aluminium foil wraped around the hammer) and ran that to a simple photo strobe. All I had to do was lift tha hammer up, turn the lights off, open the shutter and let the hammer fall. On the first try the hammer was all the way through the bulb when the strobe fired, but on the second run i moved the wire a tad and got a prefect photo. I can still remember that you could see the filiment flexing inside the shell of breaking glass. I think I’ll try this again but this time with my D70.

See it while it is still opperational. It will be a sad sad day when the suits pull the funding plug on this national asset.
HubbleSite
Tools of Mass Construction
Here is the perfect site for a rainy day with the kids. Hide the remote, turn off the Xbox, and axe the TV! Get ready to have fun learning.
I quote from the site:
“Howtoons are one-page cartoons showing 5-to-15 year-old kids “How To” build things… with practical build-it projects letting kids learn-by-doing, MIT-style!”
Build a motor, a zoetrope, an underware viewer, make ice cream, build a rocket, bend light and much much more!
Mac Mini: The Emperor’s New Computer
I’m sure this is a joke.
” While there is a Mac-style “donnnnggggg” when the Mini is first turned on, during normal operation the unit makes no sound whatsoever. This could make it very difficult for a novice user to know whether or not the computer is on. In fact, it took our techs about fifteen minutes before we realized the unit itself was operating normally and it was the monitor that was not plugged in properly. It turns out the Mini uses a weird kind of display connector on the back that requires a special adapter if you want to plug it into a PC monitor.”
