Wednesday Zeitgeist

Merry Valentine's Day. My wife and I will be enjoying tonight with a secret rendevous.

This week is l-o-n-g ... work has finally and truly jumped the shark. Very much over it and lacking inspiration for something else right now. Need a benefactor or patron to fund computational history. Any takers?

On with the show:

Rather Literal Love song:


Robots on Mars:


A ship for carrying other ships (a meta-ship, if you will):


And it can sink itself to get under ships and then lift them up:


The largest lego set ever sold. Over 5000 pieces:


Corporate jet traffic after the superbowl:


A pulse of light can be stopped, transported, and restarted again using a cloud of super-cold atoms.



Stephen Colbert rocks my world:


The evolution of life and intelligence on Earth has finally reached the point where it is now deemed possible to engender something almost out of nothing.

The Periodic Spiral envisions a remedy to the flaws in conventional periodic tables by illustrating hydrogen's ambiguous relationship to the noble gases and halogens while recognizing its relationship to the alkali metals; it also fully integrates the lanthanons and actinons into the design.
