Here I put everything and anything that strikes my fancy. Oh, and DFTBA.

I can’t really explain why, but abandoned places like this have always fascinated me. Maybe it’s the stories they can tell. So much more interesting than the cut and paste type of architecture that has become the norm today….

I had some downtime so I decided to make myself a new set of dinnerware based on The Willow Pattern.

Mathematical valentine using a Google search query!

5 + (-sqrt(1-x^2-(y-abs(x))^2))*cos(30*((1-x^2-(y-abs(x))^2))), x is from -1 to 1, y is from -1 to 1.5, z is from 1 to 6

It’s a mathematical valentine.  Just try it!

Happy Valentine’s Day! We’re celebrating with an ode to Wolfram|Alpha.

Years ago when I was young,

there was something I wanted to know:

“Could math ever be super popular,

or has it begun to plateau?” …

…show people how beautiful it actually is and it will win over anyone!! <3

The Nucleus: Crash Course Chemistry #1

Hank does his best to convince us that chemistry is not torture, but is instead the amazing and beautiful science of stuff. Chemistry can tell us how three tiny particles - the proton, neutron and electron - come together in trillions of combinations to form … everything. In this inaugural episode of Crash Course Chemistry, we start out with one of the biggest ideas in chemistry ever - stuff is made from atoms. More specifically, we learn about the properties of the nucleus and why they are important to defining what an atom actually is.

If you like SciShow and you like Hank, maybe you will like this other channel he participates in: last year he taught biology and ecology - this year, he’s tackling chemistry.  First episode went up on Monday - check it out!

So you’ve got this fish. And it’s got eyes on either side of its head, like any normal, self-respecting fish should have. Then you decide to start keeping it on the seafloor, where it can lie flat on its side and camouflage in the sand. Smart move! But now one of its eyes is on the ground! You could just make your fish a new body that’s oriented flat-wise, like a stingray’s. You could do that. Or you could take the fish that’s born vertical and, during its most vulnerable developmental years, slowly move one of its eyes across to the other side of its head until the poor bastard looks like something Pablo Picasso dreamed up after a scuba-diving accident. 

As if puberty weren’t bad enough already. Thanks a lot, evolution.
