Hi folks -- so, I know that space and science topics are more blogger John's thing, but I figured that since he's on the road, I would step up.
Besides, it's pretty cool: What boiling water looks like in microgravity (what you or I would call "Zero-G"):Check out the NASA site for photos, video and an explanation of what's happening.
As I said, it's pretty cool. The article is also 6 years old; since it was originally published September 7, 2001, one might understand if it was overlooked due to subsequent events.
Besides, like the old NBC summer rerun slogan -- "If you haven't seen it, it's new to you!"

I've seen that before, but I've always liked that. It looks like it boils all at once (for lack of a better way of explaining it).
Now, if you want to see something really neat, how about the guys slowing down light in pursuit of photonic computing?

That frightens me. I mean, once you've got light going 38 mph, when you get that blue screen of death, if you reboot, there's a pretty good chance you could find yourself somewhere in the 25th Century with a seriously out-of-date system.

25th Century -- will Erin Gray be there, in the white outfit? -- Joe
No. But, I think Dr. Theopolis will be there.

What?!? Am I the only one who remember Dr. Theopolis?
Oh, the injustice.. Fine. That birdman will be there. He always seemed a little, umm, flighty though.
Bwaaahaha...
