We Wee - short kids film for Eureka Primary Science Prize 09

This was put together rather quickly but when girls are motivated they can achieve a great deal! It still makes me laugh whenever I watch it. I don't know if the video is going to be deemed suitable for school assembly although I don't see why not!

The web version has poor sound quality, so if you're wondering what is being said at the end, it's.... "what's all this paper doing round the toilet?"

All said, this was a great exercise in going with the flow.

Rocketcar Day 11 - #FailWhale






Yesterday was rocketcar day 11. #FailWhale (started at yesterday midnight after a party) made it with seconds to spare and wetpaint. I tied it together with wool on the starting line. We still had lift off and made it 4 or 5m down the track before taking out one of the spectators with a spectacular rocket fart. Now the severely scorched arse of a #failwhale retires to our house.

Technoist is GO!



Michael Harries musings : Technoist has finally shifted from blogger to posterous... with a little help from myself. Michael is finally publicising the intersections of his background in AI and machine learning with his work from large technology companies to small start ups and his interest in user experience and design. From the evolution of the device to the device evolving us.

The interesting graphic is called "Leaky Manifold" from young artist/designer Seth Mabbott. And I really ought to shift from blogger to wordpress as I've done for my sports club sites!

35 Phenomenal Fractal Art Pictures | Inspiration | Smashing Magazine






With 35 fabulous images in the article it was very hard to choose just one and on revisiting I'd pick a different handful for display. They are all fabulous. Attributions from top to bottom; Peter Sdobnov’s Treasure in 3D, Silwenka’s Gloris, Nabdrux An abstract piece of art by mailart-org, Quantum Fabric A pure fractal flame by Cory Ench and finally, Water Lilies
These fractal flames were created by Roger Johnston and are an “extension of the iterated function system class of fractals”.
