Happy ending!

May everyone have a happy ending..



Of course the ending preferably later than sooner, the happiness right now, and now, and now, and now, ... every now!

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

To do - list: walking on fire

some time ago i made a draft post about this,
and tomorrow i'm going to use it as an example in the Physics-class on heat transfer i'll be teaching

Sure makes you want to try it ... no?



But I seriously would really like to try this, so if anyone wants to join me, i'll have some time this summer! If you don't trust it, just come and watch, there will be party-snacks and drinks!

Giving more power to the people

This one comes from the free Public Service adds i'm letting google put on top of my blog.
http://solar-aid.org/



I'm not (yet) absolutely enthousiastic about this one because i'm unsure if the efficiency and durabillity of solar cells already outweigh the cost and pollution that are unavoidable in their production. But if so, I say: GO FOR IT, we really need to stop putting things on fire all around the world.

Happy easter, viral marketing!

It's small and yellow and you can stomp it with your feet...
... a little chick!

And now for something completely different..

Giving power to the people

electrical power from something that looks like a yoyo
This makes me wonder if there are fitness centers who save on their electrical bill by using the "wasted" energy of their customers? Anyone?
