Beautiful Bubble Photography
2009-07-30 06:19:00 Richard Heeks has immense interest in photographing soap bubbles. What we have here are the photos taken at the moment the bubble disappears; these beautiful moments are amazingly photographed in their perfect glory. He has a Flickr photo set of these bubbles, some of which seem so beautiful that one needs to think twice whether they are natural. "9" of his bubble photos have been featured on Explore too.(Image credit: Richard ......... More About: Photography , Beautiful , Bubble

2009-06-05 05:05:00 With my woefully inadequate plant identification skills, I have decided that this just might be Psoralea psoralioides, sometimes called Sampson’s Snakeroot (though that seems to be the common name for a different thought similar .........

Social Media Marketing - how I made it
2009-04-30 06:27:00 Social media marketing starts with getting links tactically placed on few blogs, where viewers are insisted to use several social book marking sites. Through NuReach Global I realized that the social bookmarking sites are quite convenient ways for viewers to pass along their useful information to other persons looking for similar data, and is extremely popular in social marketing. I also found email advertising as a very successful way of reaching a huge numbers of people online. The latest and one of the most successful methods of social marketing is the use of social networking sites. ......... More About: Marketing , Social , Media , Made

Son of Rambow
2008-05-09 03:35:00 "A likable, lightly sticky valentine to childhood, the 1980s and the dawning of movie love, Son of Rambow was written and directed by Garth Jennings and produced by Nick Goldsmith, the duo behind the underappreciated fantasy The Hitchhiker''s Guide to the Galaxy," writes Manohla Dargis in the New York Times. "Like that film, this one involves a snug community of oddballs and outcasts whose eccentricities, pluck and fundamental good cheer have long been durable staples of British screen .........
Wine Glossary: Enomatic
2008-04-24 01:23:00 Popular throughout Europe for years, at wine bars and stores such as Paris' Lavinia wine store, an enomatic is a self-serve wine dispenser. Patrons purchase a wine card (similar to a debit card) and insert the card into the machine for a wine pour.The enomatic just came to my area, the first such machine in Ohio is located at 87 West 2 wine bar in Westlake Ohio's Crocker Park, just west of Cleveland.I asked the establishment's owner, Tom Lutz why a wine bar patron would prefer to use the enomatic instead of having a server bring their wine. He explained that the ......... More About: Wine , Glossary

Trespasser's will
2008-03-19 02:42:00 Yesterday I strapped on snowshoes for the first time this year — and possibly for the last (it’s in the 50s today). Unlike a lot of areas to the north of us, central Pennsylvania hasn’t gotten very much snow yet this year, so Saturday’s eight inches on top of the four to five inches already on the ground afforded our first real opportunity for .........

2008-03-13 03:55:00 What should you do with your day when the forecast calls for a March 2nd in Missouri with temps in the 70s? Rise early and get to Roundrock!

The reluctant burn pile
2007-12-28 15:25:00 This is the one burn pile that never realized its full potential in life. When we had the lake made, the dozer man took down hundreds of trees that had been in the Central Valley.

Way Cool Post
2007-12-04 02:56:00 Frequent readers may know that a prominent sub-theme of this blog is the relationship between science and art, a subject of considerable interest to myself. Scientist/Artist Jessica Palmer at Bioephemera has an excellent post on the subject.Although the article is mostly about whether art can inform science, I found it jarring at some points because my view of art and science is so conflated, namely that science IS art (note this doesn''t make the reverse also true). I don''t know if Jessica would agree with me on that point, I was struck by this sentence from her post:"Even ......... More About: Cool , Post
Enjoyable Activities Beat Improved Life Circumstances
2007-12-04 01:58:00 Being happy and staying happy is all about our day-to-day activities according to this theory of sustainable happiness. Research suggests that the contributions to our happiness are 50% genetic, 10% from our life circumstances and fully 40% determined by our day-to-day activities. But what evidence is there for this theory?One prediction from this theory is that engaging in new activities should increase our happiness more than an improvement in our circumstances. This is exactly what Sheldon and Lyubomirsky (2006) tested in three related studies.New activities vs. new ......... More About: Life , Activities , Beat , Prove
