Postcard of the Interwebs - 09 Dec 2012
I've been busy at work and after work with gatherings and celebrations. I'm also working on two units of Cygnar Arcane Gunners and their UAs. Here's some webpages until I can post pics of some models:
Mine Kafon - Here is an ingenious way to inexpensively get rid of land mines. You need a wind but I like the simplicity and elegance of the idea.
Gift of three hairs for Gimli in LOTR - I was not aware of the history of Galadriel's hair as a gift in the expanded Lord of the Rings series but its a very nice story once you read the background. Also a life lesson that something can be valuable to someone for a completely different reason than others value a thing.
Stem cells from urine - I know, i know...not a traditional conversation starter but if able to be done cheaply and efficiently could end the "religious" side of stem cell research as the current method would be moot.
Mjau - Awfully cute cat and beautiful pictures to go with it.
Creepy Dental Dummy Calender - It has to be seen to be believed. No gore or anything just...creepy.
Mars rover soil samples - I love the fact that we can see images of another planet in our solar system and no special effect studio was required. My wife and I are raw science geeks as well as sci-fi and fantasy fans so this cutting edge exploration is simply awesome.
One Nation, Seven Sins - A group of statisticians and geographers have collaborated data on the seven deadly sins onto a map of the USA. Could be used to prevent certain crimes before they happen or what new self-help businesses could be popping up in stricken areas.
How to pick up a girl at the gym - Just a funny youtube video and not what you think it will be.
How brainscans can better diagnose you - I always thought that if full body scans could be safe and accurate to be done once a year, wouldn't that be great to have as a basis for long term diagnosis and comparison for disease, injury or illnesses?
Terragenesis - For hours and hours of inspiration and fun, for you modellers out there, click on the link. I've been here many times over the years.
