Grillbot, Windowbot?

There are robots to wash windows, scour patio grills, scrub floors and mow the lawn. One cleans pools and another, aptly named RoboSnail, moves over the glass or acrylic surfaces of aquariums, polishing as it goes. Consumer robotics is now a $1.6 billion industry, with task-oriented robots accounting for roughly half of that, according to ABI Research. Analysts say sales could triple to $6.5 billion by 2017. They don't look like my collection cover though!

Supposed Cloned Dinosaur A Hoax

Its actually a newborn furless kangaroo, but people on twitter bought this completely. Just goes to show how people can be misled if they aren't scientifically literate (and good at reverse google image searching).

Neil Degrasse Tyson Watches Self Stoned?

The altered video (above) made Tyson seem stoned and quickly went viral, and Tyson himself even tweeted it out last week: “Simultaneously disturbing & hilarious: My Isaac Newton interview in slow motion.”

Fox Doesn't Have to Give Creationists Equal Air Time!

So creationists have a problem with the new Cosmos show. They’re demanding equal air time on Fox to present their own beliefs, rooted in the idea that all things were created by an omnipotent being. It’s as if the eons-old debate between religion and science is a political election, subject to equal time laws. This is absurd, its not!

One of the Most Inspiring Books

I can't recommend this book highly enough. It launched my interest in science and space. More importantly, it put everything I do into a cosmic context. This book is fantastic, and right up there with Hawking's work.
