chelsiebaker: And the zombies attack at dawn.. Zombies attack at dusk, my dear. During the day is when you restock your supplies and reload your weapons. But night, ah, that is when all hell breaks loose, and humanity nears its last stand.

jtotheizzoe: Google Science Fair entries open on Jan. 12! What are you gonna explore? I’m less of a “tech-savvy braniac” and more of a “hey, check out this chloroform” kind of person, but there’s no harm in trying.

“The reason fair trade coffee is growing in demand is that the public is becoming more aware of our social responsibility when purchasing products. Traditionally the coffee middle man gets a large portion of the profit giving the farmer only about 10% of the retail price.

You can’t see this part of the spectrum, which is how ‘black lights’ got their name. Fluorescent substances absorb the ultraviolet light and then re-emit it almost instantaneously. Some energy gets lost in the process, so the...

Wary Of SOPA, Reddit Users Aim To Build A New,... →
lifepied: Users of the social news and community site Reddit don’t like the way the government seems to be muscling in on the Internet. So they plan to build a new one. Redditors have flocked over the last week to a new subgroup on Reddit.com they’re calling the Darknet Plan–or sometimes Meshnet, as the name seems to still be in flux–with the aim of building a mesh-based version of the...

I got the dankest gifts today.
Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, ginseng for energy abuse, menthol rub to tease my skin, a pretty Roy G. Biv bracelet to show my love, and a sweet lab coat to rock my way through the science world. Thanks friends, I had a fantastic Festivus.
