It's a small world after all!

No, this isn't a link to the song (sorry Steve), it's even cooler! Sometimes just hearing about how big the universe is can be awesome, but visualizing it is even better.

Meet the Chevy Volt
posted by Marc on November 1, 2010 @ 12:36PM

IBM was hosting the Chevrolet Volt Unplugged tour on our campus today, partially because IBM was involved in producing some of the software used on the car. With that, they brought the car to our campus and let us take a look, ask questions, and even get a test drive. Unfortunately the line for the test drive was too long, so I can't speak to that. Without further ado, here's some pictures (Click to enlarge):

 Some basic facts that the marketing people offered were:

  • 40-50 mile range on fully charged battery
  • 9 gallon tank for combustion engine (Only turns on if hood is open for maintenance or battery is depleted)
  • Times to charge: 4 hrs (220V), 10 hrs (110V). There is no regenerative charging via braking or alternator)
  • 34 MPG average
  • Base price: $41k (but you get a $7,500 government rebate)

That's it for facts, I'll save my opinions for the comments. :)

Presenting Boris!
posted by GJ on October 28, 2010 @ 11:11PM

Boris is our pet wolf spider--he keeps the rest of the bugs out of my hockey equipment.  Nice guy, kinda big.  Take a look!

That green thing you see is one of his eyes reflecting back.  They have great vision, and the red-eye preflash catches his attention.  The flash reflects back out of the back of his eye facing the camera.  Want to find them at night in your backyard?  Roll a flashlight beam nearly parallel to the grass.  You'll be surprised how many you find.  :)

No, at last word, it isn't being rolled out by GM.  Some Italian dude is trying to find somebody to start building it.  You can check out his mad plan here.

Life imitates art...well, more like predicted art?

Check out Saturn's moon, Mimas.  It's an egg-shaped moon that was struck by a huge body a loooong time ago, and the result makes it look a lot like a certain famous space station from the movies.  Check it out:

Truer words have rarely been posted

I kid you not, this is a real picture of a real church sign.  What's funny is, I've had people try to explain this concept to me.  The fact they can say it with a straight face kills me everytime.
