Here is a high resolution panoramic view of a beach we visited in Michigan. It isn’t a great photo technically, but it is fun to scroll around so I decided to post it. 72 Megapixel Michigan Beach
I have a question for all material scientists & plastic experts. I have an Apple wireless keyboard and a near-UV LED flashlight. As one would expect, many things fluoresce: tee shirts, white paper, etc. What is odd, is that only some of the keys on my keyboard do this. I would expect this to be [...]

Here is a video that most 20-somethings will remember. It is the creepy scene from Disney’s Dumbo. I’m 27 and this clip is still a little bit creepy.

I love the design of Apple keyboards. The clean while surface supported by clear plastic looks great. However, after a few weeks of [...]
I discovered that, under some conditions, 3M Post-Its glow. They don’t simply glow, but they exhibit phosphorescence. I did not expect that. I discovered that basic 3×3 post it notes actually exhibit this when they are hit with my 432nm (bight blue) laser. The exact Post-Its I used are here: http://www.amazon.com/Post-Notes-Colors-Sheets-654-14AU/dp/B0002DOC68/ref=pd_sbs_op_6 See the video after [...]
