Here’s a couple of interesting links I’ve come across over the last few days!
Music Plasma – a “music visual search engine,” this is really fun to play with. Enter your favorite artist and it shows similar artists, with their relative similarity, popularity, and styles all shown graphically. A very fun toy.
Here is a fantastic way to measure the speed of light at home using marshmallows and a microwave oven. This is a brilliant bit of DIY physics.
To wander over into the political, I’ll point you to my favorite lefty weblogs: Eschaton, Pandagon.net, and corrente. I’d point to some righty weblogs except that, well, I’m not a righty and have no interest in reading them. Others are welcome to and post about it in their journal, though!
Thanks for the links! I’m taking the marshmallow science link to work, today! That’s a good room for the lunch room – like the article where the Scientific American writers ran coffee through a gas chromatograph to see why some cups are better then others. Take care!

The only issue I have with this is that you really need to view all sides of the issues. Righties state things out of context, and so does lefties. So, neither are right or wrong.
At any rate, the best way to defeat your enemies is to know them. I think that’s all I mean. 🙂
