Interesting Links (08-02-28)
There things sure are easy and kind of fun to put together so I’ll try another one.
- Camera Tips from an Engineer
- I’ve been wondering if companies (and consumers) have been concentrating too much on megapixels. This engineer thinks yes.
- Explorer 1
- It was the 50th anniversary of the US’s first satellite. I didn’t know they sent a Geiger counter up in it.
- Happy Face on Mars
- Not a whole lot more to it just a pretty cute picture.
- Asteroid Almost Hits Mars
- An asteroid almost hit Mars but didn’t. Now we don’t know where it is (although this was expected).
- More Mercury Images
- Some new pictures from the MESSENGER flyby. I especially like the annotated image to help out people (like me) that can never seem to find what people are talking about.
- Henry Rollins on Evolution
- Nice to see the Liar Liar guy seems to have his head on straight.
- 18′ Shark Surprise
- Pretty cool video of a big six-gill shark.
- Potential Presidential Science Debate
- Sounds like a good idea and it’d be in Philadelphia so maybe I could go.
- Evolving Virtual Creatures
- Interesting examples of applying evolution to create virtual creatures that fulfill tasks like fast movement, grabbing a ball and fighting each other.
