How To: Catch a snowflake

http://www.popsci.com/popsci/how20/
e5fb1e4e0fca9010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html

Ok their steps are as follow:

1. Set microscope slides, coverslips and superglue outside when it’s 20°F or colder to chill them. Catch flakes on the slides or pick them up with cold tweezers.


2. Place a drop of superglue on the snowflake. Note: Gel glue doesn’t work. Find a brand that’s thin and runny.


3. Drop a coverslip over the glue. Don’t press down hard or the flake could tear or melt from the heat of your finger.


4. Leave the slide in a freezer for one or two weeks and don’t touch it with warm hands. The glue must completely harden before the snowflake warms up.

That sounds easy enough, where you can do this without the "microscope". (Who has a microscope, just laying around the house?) You basically need a sturdy piece of glass or a plate. You basically want to use something that is hard and would be easy to get the super glue off. Put it in a freezer and wait.

How To: Speak/Understand Southern(ers)

http://www.gagirl.com/southern/south.html

Only use in emergencies. If, for some strange reason, you find yourself in the south or meet a southerner, then be warned. Take action quickly and begin to not understand a word they say. Probably the reason they vote conservative republican, is because they don't understand logic and what we are saying.

This years Darwin Award goes to *drum roll*

Failed Frame-Up

"(19 March 2005, Michigan) "Unusual" and "complicated" is how the Missaukee County sheriff described the mysterious death of 19-year-old Christopher.
After an evening spent imbibing large quantities of alcohol, Christopher noticed a shortage in his liquor supply that could not be attributed to his own depredations. He concluded that his neighbor had stolen a bottle of booze! He menaced the neighbor with a knife, to no avail, whereupon he retired to his own apartment to brood about revenge.

Finally he figured out the perfect way to get back at that conniving bottle-thief: Christopher would stab himself and blame the neighbor!

A witness saw Christopher enter the bathroom as he called 911. He calmly informed the dispatcher that his neighbor had stabbed him. Witnesses said he looked fine when he emerged from the bathroom, but a moment later gouts of blood spewed from his chest. Suddenly he began screaming begging for help. The dispatcher heard a woman shout, "Why did you do this?" He collapsed at the door of his apartment.

Deputies arrived quickly, but Christopher had already bled to death from self-inflicted stab wounds to his chest. An autopsy determined that he had stabbed himself in the chest twice. The first wound apparently didn't look dangerous enough, so he tried again. The second time, the knife plunged into his left ventricle. This wound was plenty dangerous: he had only two minutes to live.

Christopher died in vain. His deathbed accusation of his neighbor failed, as a witness confirmed that the neighbor was not in the apartment. All Christopher got for revenge was an accidental death sentence."

Adult Swim: [Anime] Fix going 24/7

Ok, this is cool. Adult Swim is going to be showing streaming video of some of it's shows.

With the FBI gathering up everybody's search string, and Google fighting them. This takes a funny jab at some obviously bad search strings, and tries to portray them differently.

High School Memories: Build a Geodesic Dome

http://www.monkeyc.org/dome/index.html
Well, I remember doing this back in Intro to Engineering class I had in my junior year of highschool. I was the youngest in the class, being the only junior and all. I remember fondly laying real close (spooning) to the only women in the class on the cardboard, for experimental reasons ^_^ to see how much room we would need. We designed the template for a hexagonal and pentagon shape cardboard, which is what we used for our geodesic dome. The top of the dome was a pentagon, then then next level was all hex, and so on.. alternating back and forth until the bottom.

I enjoyed that class, one the teacher was my high school swim coach (Mr. Treubig), so that was kinda fun getting picked on by him. I remember do the egg crash test dummies, where we try to design a better bumper for these wooden cars, so that the egg wouldn't crack. We even went on good field trips, several times during the year, to places like Schwizzer Aircraft's engineering center. We also did the old marble sorter thing, we had to sort among three bins, clear, translucent, and black. We also had to design on that stupid CAD machine and print out our design.

Question: Is swimming in water or syrup faster?

http://www.nature.com/news/2004/040920/pf/040920-2_pf.html

LOL, ok this was never a question brought up to me, but I think I would have figured it out. The resistence and the power of the swimmer would equal out, just like it would in water, but then comes the dramtic player in all competitive swimmers: DRAG. With the sticky stuff clinging onto you, you would just end up pulling more of it with you.

Hmmmm, I wonder if a swimmer were to dose himself with oil, would that make him faster in water?

Hack: Email Spoofing

http://www.datastronghold.com/content/view/81/29/

This is cool and very simple to do, email spoofing this way is easy, but of course I wouldn't do anything too stupid since this way is done through telent and can easily be traced backed to you.

Here are the steps summerized:

1. Open your command window: Start Menu -> Run -> cmd
2. Find the mail server your are going to use for the spoofing: http://centralops.net/co/DomainDossier.aspx
   with the DNS records selected, and then find the lowest type of MX server. Example: mx1.company.com
3. Type in the name that was the lowest in the command window: telnet mx1.companya.com 25
   You should get a response like: 220 mail.companya.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830 ready at Tue, 19 Feb 2005 14:44:12 -0500
4. Type: hello companya.com
   The response should be echoed back.
5. Type: mail from: theboss@companya.com
6. Type: rcpt to: friendb@companya.com
7. Type: data
8. Type your message then hit then type the period '.' then enter again.

New Programming Project: CSS Designer

So, I started making this CSS designer with simple options like changing background color, text color, etc... Then I looked at http://www.w3schools.com/css/ and noticed that CSS is more complicated then I thought. So I scraped the old verson, and started a new one. I already added the web browser within the program, and added my own Color Dialog, since I wanted the Hues to be grouped together. I could of just used the default ColorDialog and FontDialog, but there are too many options that are not needed for web design, and other style choices that are not available.

To do:

1. Make Font Dialog,
2. Add options for each Basic CSS and Advanced CSS design.
3. Write output to a file with an extension of .css
4. Make menu work.
5. etc....

This might take more then a week or two to make.

WTF: AT&T-"Free Ride" For Google And Others Is Over

http://www.networkingpipeline.com/blog/
archives/2006/01/att_free_ride_f.html

If you are paying for your internet service through AT&T, SBC, or Verizon. You might want to leave them, sometime soon. Even though you pay them to access the internet, they want more money from you to access websites, like Google. That just doesn't make any sense to me, but considering how the FCC are a bunch of asses, these big companies will be getting your money sometime in the future.
