Zubbles - Nearly opaque colored bubbles - took a guy at the U of M about 10 years to develop them. Wow.

Image of Mathematicians on Postage Stamps - Only online, folks.
Pop versus Soda versus Coke - Covers where in America people call soft drinks by certain names. Hey look at pop: it’s got a stronghold in Alaska, plus, it goes from MN all the way out to WA! Woo!
10,000 Year Clock - The Clock of the Long Now is an exquisite feat of engineering and art, designed to last for over 10,000 years. I will be following this. (Thanks: kottke)
Better greeting cards - 3-D print-your-own 99 cent gift cards that are cube shaped!
Special Numbers - Have a number in mind? Find out what’s special about it! For Katy.
Oh guys. Oh faithful readers of tumbledry. I am lost. On the rollercoaster of life I’m in the inverted underground pitch black tunnel portion wherein one loses all sense of direction and only knows one thing: there’s a way out.
Thankfully, there’s solace in the analogy, for a rollercoaster of life puts you on a track … and the track that I think I am on leads out of the aforementioned analogy-heavy tunnel. The best ways to save time in college are (1) owning a bike and (2) sleeping. The first, I think, is self-explanatory - but the second makes you so much more efficient at getting things done that you simply would not believe it. Oh, and libraries. Wow.
In an effort to make my Wednesday as interesting as possible, fate decided to give me a double-skinning dissection introduction today. I got to skin a cat (there’s only one way) and skin parts of a shark. Fun fact: shark skin used to be used a sandpaper for woodworking before sandpaper became paper with sand glued to it. Also, I wonder if it was called sandpaper when it was shark’s skin. That would be confusing.
250,000 superballs - Well, everyone originally thought this was a Nike commercial, but it’s for Sony - this commercial was shot earlier this summer in San Francisco - the website does it justice: 250,000 superballs poured down a huge San Franciso hill.
T9i Treadmill - I want this treadmill by Life Fitness. Also, they have some interesting text on their cardio homepage: “I am no longer aware of limitations.” Cool.
I’M REALLY BUSY AND ALL OF MY CLASSES HAVE ATTACKED ME.
LET’S HOPE I SURVIVE TO POST SOMETHING MORE MEANINGFUL LATER.
LOVE,
ALEX
