How do Centrifugal and Coriolis forces affect the motion of particles as the speed of rotation is varied? This animation shows how the underlying grid of my previous post is warped at differing speeds of rotation. Note the square grid when there is no rotation. [code] [video]

Delaware Today
—
This is a piece for Delaware Today about young girls losing interest in science,technology, engineering and math related studies. The state’s schools and businesses are hoping to turn all this around. I love it when I come up with a few sketches that I still want to use for something and this was one of those times. A big thanks to AD Kelly Carter!

My father sometimes talks to this man with a Yankees logo tattooed on his head at the fitness center he goes to
and today he had the misfortune of finding that this man has a tattoo of George Bush, the Declaration of Independence, and a skull & crossbones on his back.
I present this story with no further comment.
Anonymous asked: We have cicadas here in Taiwan EVERY summer, it's also a symbol of graduation here, for the school year ends at June, with the singing of at least hundreds of cicadas in the campus. Thanks for the advice, I'll try vinegar tonight.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a live cicada before - they don’t live around here. So I’m kind of excited to see them all this summer. They’re very interesting!
Let me know how the vinegar works! If it doesn’t, I’m sure there must be something else you can do to get rid of them. I wish you luck.
