Now you see me . . . now you don’t

Ever dreamed of being invisible? Well, keep dreaming. This article doesn’t say that invisibility is possible. But they have found a way to bend light around objects. So maybe by the year 3000, your great grandkids will disappear.

no, it’s not a robot

d30. sounds like R2’s estranged cousin, but as it turns out it’s something much cooler. but first lets take a trip back into your childhood. do you remember cornstarch? that good ol’ non-newtonian fluid that was like a liquid without pressure, but a solid when pressure was applied? wacky huh? just imagine cornstarch, except this [...]

new york, new york

Last week was the annual academy mission trip to new york. I attended for the second year in a row (last year as a SONS member). it started out saturday night with a trip to the promenade (read: mla-ma-mla as opposed to promenaad). we got a sweet view of downtown manhattan  and good ol’ lady [...]

Has Anyone Else Ever Noticed This?

If you have, sound off in the comments.  Any reason why it is there?

The Miracle Fruit

Apparently, there is some ‘miracle’ fruit that makes sour things taste sweet. If you don’t believe it, I didn’t either . . . but wiki never lies. Even so, I wasn’t so sure, so I also found this NY times article. Sounds like a blast. It’s too bad they’re really expensive, or we could have [...]

Bringing Back Memories

If this doesn’t bring back some memories, I don’t know what will.  I specifically remember all of us kids wasting a significant amount of time with SKI FREE.  You can download it here.  I also discovered that there are some cheat codes.  Who knew?
PS I haven’t forgotten about answering OGlad’s most recent question in the [...]
