The ULTIMATE Location Assignment!

This 360-degree QTVR, called the "McMurdo" panorama, comes from the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. From April through October 2006, Spirit has stayed on a small hill known as "Low Ridge." There, the rover's solar panels are tilted toward the sun to maintain enough solar power for Spirit to keep making scientific observations throughout the winter on southern Mars. This view of the surroundings from Spirit's "Winter Haven" is presented in approximately true color. -j.s(more)

How Well Do You Pay Attention?

Seriously, do not cheat!

In the video you will see a group of basketball players, some in white and some in black passing two balls around.

Your goal is to count how many times the ball is passed by those wearing white shirts.

Remember, count just the passes of the ball by those wearing white.

Once the movie is over, write down the number of passes you have counted.

Do not watch the video again.

VIDEO LINK!

After you have watched the video go to this page to understand your results.-j.s

Designers Jim Coudal of Chicago's Coudal Partners and Aaron Draplin of Portland, Oregon-based Draplindustries Design drafted a solution that's been gaining buzz across the blogosphere.

Following an idea initiated by Coudal's wife, Heidi, Coudal and Draplin put together a series of free, downloadable cards, with messages like, "Just so you know: Everyone around you is being forced to listen to yer conversation" and "The world is a noisy place. You aren't helping things." Cards are attributed to the Society for HandHeld Hushing, or SHHH...(more)-j.s
