Window Seat

Window Seat 05/27/2004 11:02 AM
Gregory Dicum's book "Window Seat: Reading the Landscape from the Air" sounds like a brilliant idea:

"Broken down by region, this unusual guide features 70 aerial photographs; a fold-out map of North America showing major flight paths; profiles of each region covering its landforms, waterways, and cities; tips on spotting major sights, such as the Northern Lights, the Grand Canyon, and Disney World; tips on spotting not-so-major sights such as prisons, mines, and Interstates; and straightforward, friendly text on cloud shapes, weather patterns, the continent's history, and more."

Did you know that the patterns of the streets in subdivisions lets you know when they were built? Or that the round ponds all over Florida are sinkholes? With Window Seat at your side, you'll learn these things. Keep it to yourself though--the person sitting next to you doesn't want to hear it. Link (Thanks, Eric!)

M.C.G. is short for Melbourne Cricket Ground, which is to cricket something like Yankee Stadium is to baseball. I want there to watch some cricket, but it got rained out an over and a bit after we got there (saw one LBW on a vicious fast ball). The M.C.G.’s under construction and I found out how they put the seats in stadiums. (Warning: contains 6M QuickTime movie)...

AK Rocker Videogame Seat

AK Rocker Videogame Seat 09/13/2004 07:22 AM

I had to share Fun Furde's incredulous attitude about this AK Rocker chair. Does anyone really need to use XtreMe Rocking Chairz in the "sand, snow or dirt?" It looks comfortable enough, I guess, but it would be sort of embarrassing to have one of these sitting around in your nice living room. They're cheap enough, at around $80 (or less on eBay, it seems), to consider getting a couple to play Gran Turismo 4 when it hits the streets.

Clearly, though, they should have called them "Rockaro" seats.

Laptops put male fertility in the hot

Laptops put male fertility in the hot
seat 12/19/2004 03:46 PM

In this edition of Science.Ars, Fred Locklear provides an update on NASA goings-on. Sean O'Keefe is stepping down as Administrator of NASA. How will this affect the space program?

Additionally, Science.Ars looks at the effects of laptop use on male fertility. A recent study made headlines by claiming that frequent laptop use in the lap could lead to lowered fertility.

While the laptops did cause a rise in scrotal temperature, it is not know how much this affects short term/long term sperm quality and fertility and researchers plan to measure these effects in future studies. For laptop users with worries about fertility problems... I wonder if there would be market for liquid-cooled briefs?

All that and more in this week's Science.Ars.
