I was stalking my New Scientist magazine (as usual) when I came across this article that almost made my jaw drop. I managed to find it online so if you want to read it you can. You can find it here. What this article talks about is pretty mind boggling. A murderer (Abdelmalek Bayout) went to trial in 2007 because [...]

Introducing… the POLARIS prototype! I love seeing what amazing concepts companies are putting out in regards to anything remotely robot-like. I was fascinated by the little vacuum robot that roams around a room and does the work for you. I was also fascinated by the alarm clock that takes off and flies so you have to actually chase it to [...]

Fortunately if we’re too lazy to drive a half hour to Cape Canaveral (like we were tonight) we can watch the shuttle launch from our street. i love seeing them- this one is our third one, and I hope to catch a few more before the year ends. There’s just something so spectacular about hearing the roaring thunder of the [...]

Perseid Meteor Shower ’07 Credit: Marc Akemann http://www.flickr.com/photos/makemannphoto/ For those of you who LOVE science and star gazing (LIKE ME! even though I’m terrible at finding constellations in the sky… ask the boyfriend. He actually had to show me where the little/big dippers were. Yup. I blame my eyesight. Never mind the fact that I wear contacts…but that’s besides the [...]

So we all know I am a HUGE supporter of stem cell research, and I was practically running in circles when I heard that they had lifted the ban on it. We should also know (most of you) that I am practically as close to blind as one can be while still having vision. I was over joyed when I [...]

So we’ve all heard the saying- eyes are the windows to the soul. I love eyes. I am completely and utterly obsessed with eyes. Not for any weird creepy reason, but if you take macro photographs of different people’s eyes, the patterns and variances are just amazing. There are so many different things you can see in them. Like mine [...]

Another intermittent post- I’m sorry! I know, I know. I’ve been promising a physics post. I have it saved but I’m trying to make sure that everyone can understand it. I’m trying to break down all the physics-y stuff into laymans terms I guess. To tell you the truth, I think I’ve just been lazy. But anyway, there’s a shuttle [...]

I wanted to post this article from psychology today- The Creative Personality I won’t waste time paraphrasing it because the whole article is pretty rockin’. Basically, it describes the mind of a creative person (writers [read:me], designers, artists, physicists, scientists etc) and sums up how I feel a lot of the time. Of course, some of the things are completely [...]

I do have a post that I’m currently formulating (it’s about physics, so if you don’t care to read it don’t check back. But it shall be interesting!) BUT! I wanted to put this little post in here because…. OBAMA JUST ANNOUNCED THAT HE LIFTED THE BAN ON STEM CELL RESEARCH!! How exciting is that?!?!?! Hate me all you want, [...]

Sleep… a symptom or a cause? *If you want to read the preface to this article (which explains what happened to me -the bloodwork, the symptoms, etc) and see WHY I was reading this article, please read the following introduction that I wrote.. if you want to get into the scientific goodness then just skip it- As you’ve probably gathered [...]
