the beginning

completed tower

electronics are the best
Took the “Little” to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History… We put together this monstrous tower, with these thin wooden blocks, definitely a confidence booster for him as everyone (adult and child) were standing and watching to see how tall we could build it… Loved it!
“In this video a single Corynactis viridis polyp (about 8mm in diameter) is seen capturing and digesting tiny plankton as they flow past in the current. As the tentacles capture food, they retract towards the animal’s mouth, located at the center of the polyp. The mouth is likewise transformable; capable of extending, expanding, and enveloping food items.”

Bacon Grease

Bacon Grease Fractal
Everyone knows that Bacon is pretty much the best food on Earth… in fact, it’s so cool, that even the grease it leaves behind creates fractals.
(note: in case you forgot about my last “beautiful food post)
Richard Dawkins on Colbert
It’s always good to see bright scientists in modern media situations. Btw, you should buy his new book: The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution
