A Math Teacher’s Bookshelf

Unlike the staircase bookcase, this really bookshelf doesn’t have an alternate purpose, unless you count separating your books based on math formulas usefull (i don’t).

LED Fireplace

As a rule, I do not approve of fake fireplaces, that includes gas ones. They defeat the purpose of fireplaces, to provide warmth, and a beauty to look at.
This LED fireplace however could be the exception to the rule. It’s a known fact that LEDs make things better, and if you add in [...]

Science Fair Projects to remember

 
Here are 41 science fair projects that are just amazing.  My favorites though are the 4 attached with this post.

iTunes 7.6 Shuffle is Messed Up?

Has anyone else noticed that the when shuffling songs with iTunes 7.6, or the iPod Touch firmware 1.1.3 there, artists aren’t really random, but come in doubles?
I have a few playlists of about 400 songs each, and with all my favorite artists.  Most artists have at least 2, sometimes as many as 10 songs each.  [...]

The most awesome glove ever

With the power of this glove, I can control the fate of Ants everywhere! No need to fuss with magnifying glasses, and the Sun, for I will be able to light ants on fire with the snap of my fingers!
I must have one.
