Yay Flexagons!

So, for those of you who didn't know, October is flexagon month.  In honor of this obscure celebration, here is a great video that shows how wonderful flexagons can be.  I also recommend you follow this video up with part 2 and the safety guide.  Links are provided at the end of each video, so you should have no trouble finding them.

Redbull Stratos Jump

I know I'm behind on sharing this.  I've already seen it, but I figured I'd make the time to post it here.  I would have done so already, but it's been a crazy week.

Jumping from the edge of space = AWESOME!

Klingon Style Video

Here's a wonderfully ridiculous video.  My favorite part is the elevator scene.  My husband and I watched that scene over and over again, and we couldn't stop laughing!

Insane Human Powered Rube Goldberg Machine

We all like a good Rube Goldberg machine.  Now, have you ever seen one powered by insane humans?  Check it out!

Dazzle and Infuriate Your Friends With SCIENCE!

Who doesn't want to use a little scientific know-how to stump their friends?



These bets often use scientific principles, while others simply use plain trickery.  Still, either is useful if there's money on the line!

Pacific Northwest Pictureshow

Photographer John Eklund took 260,000 pictures and used them to create this breathtaking video. The night sky and serene landscapes are awe inspiring.  This is a video I could happily watch over and over again.  Visit his website to see more of his work.

Tweets in Space!

Do you want to send your message to the stars?  Here's how you can!

On Friday September 21, 2012, log onto Twitter and add #tweetsinspace to your message. Now remember, timing is of the essence.  This must be done 8:30 – 9:00 PM Mountain Time, or 7:30-8PM PST; 9:30-10PM CST; 10:30-11PM EST.  I know all these time zones can make life confusing when it comes to coordinating an interstellar event like this, so thanks to the people at Tweets in Space for spelling it out so clearly on their webpage.

To learn more, watch this groovy video!  It's fun to watch, and the little girl at the end is WAY too cute!
