What’s it feel like to enter the space age?
31. January 2008
It feels like this. Through the combined efforts of JPL and the Army Ballistic Missile Ballistic Agency, Explorer 1 launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on Jan. 31, 1958. There was a nail-biting wait before tracking stations confirmed that Explorer 1 had gone successfully into orbit around Earth. With the launch of Explorer 1, the United [...]

30. January 2008
A transistor radio that is tinier than a grain of sand. I know it’s basically for the sake of *doing it*, but it caused my mind to spiral into thinking, “Wow, that truly wouldn’t last long… I hope if they ever market it they sell a thousand for the price of one.” Pardon the crude [...]

29. January 2008
It’s now news – Chair Entertainment Group have gotten the go ahead from OSC to turn a serious part of Ender’s Game into a video game. Which part? The battle room of course.

The following controversy is actually an embarrassment for my area. People are up in arms because the state is now requiring people who apply for a drivers license to supply proof of citizenship. First of all I’m a little shocked that this wasn’t already in effect. I think due to the fact that I am [...]

You’ve probably read about this all over the web – it’s the 50th anniversary of the Lego brick! I feel I should chime in and add my congratulations as I’ve spend many an hour from the age of four through right up to this weekend creating new worlds and relieving others. Happy Birthday my 8 [...]

28. January 2008
At 3:33am EST, and asteroid will pass within 334,000 miles of the Earth. Don’t panic though, in relative terms, that’s like a bullet missing you by 1/1000 of an inch. No sweat! Seriously though, there shouldn’t be cause for panic as scientists agree it ain’t gonna hit us. The pictures, “taken with the Goldstone Solar [...]
