I thought of the Scientific 7-Minute Workout, by Gretchen Reynolds. “The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each, while, throughout, the intensity hovers at about an 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10, Mr. Jordan […]
I am trying to get away from using a pencil and paper for my art projects. There are many tools for the artist out there like the iPad, Surface and Dell XPS 18. Now along comes the Adobe “Project Mighty” connected pen. This pen might just revolutionize the way we jot down our ideas and […]

The human body hosts more than ten thousand different kinds of microbes. Most of them help the immune system in fighting other microbes and diseases. Lactic acid bacteria are used to make yogurt, cheese, sour cream, buttermilk and other fermented milk […]
There are those who believe that man never landed on the moon. Darryl Cunningham explores these silly scientific notions that are falsely consumed by society. Who knew that reading about science could be fun. Is hydro-fracking safe? Is climate change real? Did the moon landing actually happen? How about evolution: fact or fiction? Author-illustrator Darryl […]
I marvel at the sun, there is still so much we do not known about this giant ball of fire. Here is a three minute clip of the sun in the span of three years. The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is almost perfectly spherical and consists of […]
The thing about Spring is that it brings bugs out and lots of them. I just hate ants in the house. French entomologist ( fancy name for bug lover) Eugène Séguy loved bugs so much he illustrated them a whole bunch. Clearly he was the Gregor Samsa of the Art Deco world. Eugène Séguy (1890 – 1985) […]
I was never that good at chemistry and never liked to stay out in the cold. If you ever wanted to know the chemistry of the snowflake, then you are in luck. The only ice I like is in my soft drink. Tony M.If this article made you think, brought back a memory, or made […]
This a week of learning. What is the universe? Physics in a minute. Mind you I could do without the phone salesman pitch at the end of the video. Somebody has to pay the bills. Someday they will have advertising all over the universe. Even on Uranus.(lol) Tony M.If this article made you think, brought […]

Get to know your rocks with “Name That Space Rock,” by illustrator Tim Lillis of Narwhal Creative. Tony M.If this article made you think, brought back a memory, or made you […]
This has to be the coolest bed sheet and pillow set ever. The astronaut duvet cover by Dutch company Snurk should be a hit easily. Astronauts are cooler.

Talk about weird science. Or was it? Our ancestors still have ways to astound us. Look what they left us, a Urine Wheel chart. To pee or not to pee. This urine wheel was published in 1506 by Ullrich Pinder, in his book Epiphanie Medicorum. It describes the possible colours, smells and tastes of urine, […]
