With winter rains, Bay Area pill bugs are out in force. Fortunately, they’re one of our most beloved “bugs.” Pill bugs. Doodle bugs. Potato bugs. Wood Shrimp. Whatever you call them, there’s something less creepy about these critters than other insects. Maybe it’s because they’re not insects at all.<br />
<br />
Pill bugs are more closely related to shrimp and lobsters than crickets or butterflies. Their ancestors lived in the sea, but ancient pill bugs crawled out millions of years ago to carve a life for themselves on dry land.<br />

You can see the evidence if you take a close look at them, so that’s exactly what we did for this episode of Deep Look, an ultra-high definition wildlife video series produced by KQED and PBS Digital Studios.HapHazardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03775048145301915323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403380257504636868.post-39179460340246079192016-05-09T09:01:00.000-07:002016-05-09T09:01:05.951-07:00Magnets and Marbles !<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QQ9gs-5lRKc" width="640"></iframe>HapHazardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03775048145301915323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403380257504636868.post-31232383965599756662015-02-21T10:21:00.000-08:002015-02-21T10:21:19.750-08:00Hear New York City in 3D audioThis is actually a really neat experience, especially if you have never been to New York City before such as myself.

In this video, Collins demonstrates how to fold the plane, the Suzanne. Directions for this and several additional planes can be found in his book The New World Champion Paper Airplane Book.

"Right around this time last year, news broke about the discovery of an amazing little puffer fish capable of creating elaborately designed ‘crop circles’ at the bottom of the ocean as part of an elaborate mating ritual. The behavior was first documented by a photographer named Yoji Ookata who later returned with a film crew from the Japanese nature show NHK which later aired an episode about the fish.
Even as articles bounced around the web it was still difficult to imagine how a tiny fish could create such a large design in the sand, even when staring directly at photographic evidence. Finally, video has emerged that shows just how the little guy delicately traverses the sand in a rotating criss-cross pattern to create a sort of subaquatic spirograph. The textured sand sculpture not only attracts mates but also serves as protection when the fish pair and lays eggs."</blockquote>

The next TF-X will have four-seats, collapsible wings, retractable propellers and an emergency parachute system. The best part is, it will be capable of driving and flying on its own!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charles Ramsey, who helped rescue three missing Cleveland women from the house where they'd been held captive for a decade, is more than just a good Samaritan and hero: He's also an amazing interview. (And even better on the phone with 911.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ramsey, who lives next door to the house where the women were trapped, gave two lively and captivating interviews to local news affiliates after aiding in their rescue yesterday. Ramsey, off from work, heard Amanda Berry screaming, and came outside to see what was going on: "I'm eating my McDonald's; I come outside; I see this girl going nuts," he says. "I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As it turned out, Amanda Berry was the Amanda Berry, a Cleveland girl who'd been missing for 10 years. In the house with her were two other young women, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who'd also gone missing in the last decade—as well as a young girl, apparently Berry's daughter. All three had apparently been kidnapped and held, allegedly by the house's owner Ariel Castro, 52—"I barbecued with this dude! We ate ribs and whatnot, and listened to salsa music!" Ramsey says—who has been arrested along with two of his brothers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning, all three women were released from the hospital. The FBI is still investigating, but doesn't believe any more women were taken.</span><br />

Forget those pesky 3D printers that require software and the knowledge of 3D modeling and behold the <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1351910088/3doodler-the-worlds-first-3d-printing-pen" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #5d9121; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">3Doodler</a>, the world’s first pen that draws in three dimensions in real time. Imagine holding a pen and waving it through the air, only the line your pen creates stays frozen, suspended and permanent in 3D space. Sound like magic? Well it certainly looks like it, watch the video above to see the thing in action. The 3Doodler was designed by Boston-based company <a href="http://www.wobbleworks.net/" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #5d9121; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">WobbleWorks</a> who recently launched a <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1351910088/3doodler-the-worlds-first-3d-printing-pen" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #5d9121; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a> campaign to sell the miraculous little devices that utilizes a special plastic which is heated and instantly cooled to form solid structures as you draw. I don’t know about you but for me this might have just won the most impulsive Kickstarter purchase in history. <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1351910088/3doodler-the-worlds-first-3d-printing-pen" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #5d9121; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Check it out</a>.

<a href="http://www.flamestower.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1eb9c1; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">FlameStower</a> rethinks energy. Our product - a small, portable generator that captures waste heat from campfires, cook stoves, any open flame and converts it directly into useable electricity - is designed for off-grid locations where mobile phone use far outreaches grid availability. People need an affordable, any time solution to bridge the “IT Divide," and we believe FlameStower is the solution.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
FlameStower keeps <em>all of us</em> online when we're off-grid:</div>

<li>outdoor adventurers who want a light-weight, easy to use, durable power supply</li>
<li>professionals requiring reliability over all else, no fragile parts, an ideal solution where IT lasts mere hours</li>
<li>communities in the developing world where there are no power lines.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Its not a lot of energy, but the low power demands of modern devices fundamentally change global energy strategies: one of the most powerful tools the world has known – a cellphone allowing instant communication and limitless knowledge – now fits in your pocket and needs only five volts to keep going.</div>
