Flapjax

This looks really cool, a functional reactive programming template language/javascript extension library for web programming. Something I may actually use! It's called Flapjax.

Usable qbit design?

Honestly, I probably need to read the article (I should probably subscribe to Science, really), but this sounds pretty cool, if someone has managed to build a kinda almost sorta useful qbit on a chip: Princeton scientist makes a leap in quantum computing

Sounds pretty cool regardless.

Joe Rollino

From a couple days back, but...

Never heard of him till he died. My loss.

Died at 104, after being hit by a car. Was still able to bend a quarter. Won a silver star and bronze star in WWII. Damn.

Holy Crap!

Scientists create the world's smallest 'snowman' - Telegraph.  10 microns.  'nuff said. (ok, for those not familiar with what a micron is, that's 1/5th the width of a strand of hair).

Cool Tools

One of my favorite websites, Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools. Like its name suggests it's a listing of cool tools. Some I like, some not so much. But this is where I found out about my previously mentioned RailRiders. honestly, when I need something a bit unusual this is one of the places I look first.

Great Clothing

I've been buying a lot (ok, all) of my clothing from RailRiders recently. It's all Nylon fabrics, which may not be the classiest thing, but they're comfortable, sturdy, and I love 'em. Expensive, but worth it. Mostly for outdoors enthusiasts, but since I routinely refuse to come in out of the rain anyway...

Science Supplies

While I'm going on about cool websites, I rather like United Nuclear Scientific Equipment & Supplies. Vaugely related to the previous topic, because I keep thinking I want one of their lab glassware kits for the kitchen. Honestly, lab glassware's much better designed than most kitchen glassware.
