Things I Find Interesting

X-ray after the surgery to repair my tibia and fibula from the skateboarding accident.

X-ray of my broken tibia and fibula due to a skateboarding accident.

Ignore the white circle. That was a guy with a ring holding my foot in place to keep it still to get the image.

There are few moments when I am stunned.
I’m captured by your looks. That makes this one.

the three MOST honest minutes in television history. EVER. 

reblogging again because it’s so beautiful

America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.

EVEN THOUGH I’m sure he’ll ignore this like every other plea for sanity I’ve ever sent

my dad needs to see this

need to find out what this is from

I watched this on TV!!

Powerful truth through tv. Great writing.

Love that she has gotten over the meme and is embracing it.

Photographer Lee Jeffries worked as a sports photographer before having a chance encounter one day with a young homeless girl on a London street. After stealthily photographing the girl huddled in her sleeping bag, Jeffries decided to approach and talk with her rather than disappear with the photograph. That day changed his perception about the homeless, and he then decided to make them the subject of his photography. Jeffries makes portraits of homeless people he meets in Europe and in the US, and makes it a point to get to know them before asking to create the portraits. His photographs are gritty, honest, and haunting.

New research could lead to 1,000x faster wireless data transfers.

Researchers at Pittsburgh University have found a way to modulate light in the terahertz bandwidth (THz, or 1 trillion cycles per second), with recorded frequencies of up to 15.6 THz.

With current generation wireless routers and networks working around speeds of 5 GHz (1 GHz = 1 billion cycles per second), the demonstration could one day lead to Wi-Fi networks well over a thousand times faster than current speeds.

To achieve the modulation, the team created a ‘frequency comb’ able to divide a single colour of light into a series of evenly spaced spectral lines spanning a more than 100 terahertz bandwidth by exciting a coherent collective of atomic motions in a semiconductor silicon crystal.

The team is already investigating the coherent oscillation of electrons, which could further extend the ability of harnessing light-matter interactions from the terahertz- to the petahertz-frequency range. Petahertz is another 1,000 times faster than terahertz.

Interspecies Intermingling of the Day: Samantha, a 47-year-old western lowland gorilla at the Erie Zoo, has been all alone since her companion Rudy passed away in 2005. Zookeepers decided to try and alleviate her loneliness by giving her a pet: Panda the Dutch rabbit.

Initially cautious, the keepers introduced them in increments before leaving Panda alone with Samantha (keeping an escape hatch open just in case). But their concern quickly abated as the two took to each other right away.

Samantha’s handlers say they aren’t worried as she’s never expressed anything but fondness toward Panda. Still, they say the bunny is more than capable of holding his own.

“He’s fearless,” says the zoo’s chief executive, Scott Mitchell. “He’s not threatened by her. More often they’re closer together than they are farther apart.”

trailer for the upcoming documentary “Bully”, which will release on March 30th. 

Sign this petition to give Bully a rating of PG13 rather than R so it can be shown in schools nationwide.
