You Gotta Love Google

I know they're going to be taking over the world soon, but they'll be such a benevolent dictator.

This is the message you get if you uninstall Chrome, Google's entry into the Web browser market.

Large Hadron Rap

Okay, I was a physics major so you may think it's just me that finds this funny, but this has been a bit of a hit on YouTube.

Awesome job, CERN.

The Onion can truly be awesome sometimes.

The Onion: Kansas Outlaws Practice Of Evolution

Favourite Quote:

Anti-evolutionists such as Hellenbaum have long accused microorganisms of popularizing "an otherwise obscure, agonizingly slow, and hard-to-understand" biological process. "These repeat offenders are at the root of the problem," Hellenbaum said. "We have the fossil records to prove it."

ZIGGURAT: Dubai Carbon Neutral Pyramid will House 1 Million

Carbon neutral and off the grid while housing up to a million people! Is it do-able? Hell if I know but it sure is cool to think about.

BBC - Quantum Physics

A clip from a nice looking BBC documentary. The Standard Model in Quantum Physics (which predicts the behaviour of subatomic particles) is arguably the most successful and well tested scientific theory in history. In fact, modern electronics wouldn't even be possible without it. If you are reading this post, you can thank Quantum Physics for it.

The documentary looks very accessible, getting more into the personalities and the general ideas without getting into what backs those ideas up.

My Course Is Done!

It's almost two months after my original plan but...

I'M DONE!!!

I wrote the exam on Tuesday and finally submitted the final assignment (that I've been working on all summer!) this morning.

It's gonna be nice not having to worry about any courses for a while.

Now I get to put in for the pay increase. :-)
