Camel Jumping

While in Yemen recently on behalf of the New York Times to cover a presidential election with just one candidate, photographer Ed Ou took a detour to revisit the region of Tehama in the hopes of seeing for himself stories he had heard years prior about locals there who found sport in jumping over camels. The photos are fantastic. This needs to be an Olympic sport.

Pi Visualized

Pi to 4,000,000 decimal places "translated into colored pixels corresponding to digits 0-9." If this isn't accurate enough, then consider that "it only takes 39 digits of pi to draw a circle the size of the universe down to the accuracy of a hydrogen atom." So yeah.

Static never looked so interesting.

I'm on Page 12

In the latest issue of Time Magazine focusing on "The 100 Most Influential People in the World" the above photo of me holding the "Super Lintendo" sign is on page 12. Just saying.

[Thanks to Mariya for texting me that her brother saw this first in the magazine]

Treasure Hunt

While cleaning up Lake Merritt, sixth-graders from the science class at St. Paul's Episcopal School fished out two bags filled gold, silver, watches, rings, and other jewelry as seen above. This story has all the makings of the start of a Disney movie.
