I was talking to my brother in Taiwan the other day and he mentioned this video of a rock slide from all the rain they had last week.
Close call! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6SFMUSCaX8#t=35 I recommend the full screen mode! |

On NPR this morning, I heard the story of work recently published in Science. It's the first instance of mechanical gears found naturally occurring in the wild.
Apparently the nymph planthopper insect likes to jump to move around. And to jump well, it need both legs to kick off at exactly the same time, otherwise it goes off in the wrong direction, or just spins around. Since its nervous system isn't yet up to the task, it uses gears that interlock so when one leg starts to kick off, the other leg does too. In order to film this extremely fast movement, the scientists glued the little critters to the table on their backs, and tickled their tummies while filming with an extremely high speed camera they could then slow down. The video clearly shows gears! |

Time lapse of Burning Man from afar. The night time lights look really cool. Maybe I'd like to go after all. Even though the dust storms look terrible.

Love this video of the old Dodge truck and how it gets past most muddy obstacles that would stop the best 4-wheel drive. I think the wheel spokes helped it get traction!
