My wife and I saw “Garden State” recently. It was only playing at Phipp’s Plaza for this area, but it was well worth the trip. We both enjoyed the film so much. Zach Braff (Scrub’s) wrote and directed “Garden State,” in which he co-starred with Natalie Portman (Star Wars: Episode I,II). The most interesting aspect [...]

SLOOH is an interactive, web-based, astronomical service offering live views into the universe. For those that are interested in space, this is one of the most rewarding experiences I can imagine [affording]. The project is based out of the Canary Islands and utilizes a number of large telescopes for maximized sight and zoom [...]

I’m so intrigued with the critters that are showing up in this competition. Basically, it’s a large group of combatant, bipedal, robotic machines (not all humanoid) [...]

“Let ABC be an acute-angled triangle with AB not equal to AC. The circle with diameter BC intersects the sides AB and AC at M and N respectively. Denote by O the midpoint of the side BC. The bisectors of the angles BAC and MON intersect at R. Prove that the circumcircles of the triangles [...]

As recommended by Zach Braff, Gavin DeGraw gets a second from me. I’ve enjoyed going to his website allowing the playlist to continuously loop through a very nice selection of tracks. Props to the marketing genius for that. To summarize DeGraw, mix Howie Day and Jason Mraz. Any idea why it’s [...]

Sometime ago, I submitted a magnetic poem online. A magnetic poem is basically any poem which you have created entirely using Magnetic Poetry. There are plenty of sets to choose from, so you shouldn’t have any issue finding the right words.
