Ran across another interesting thing for today: On this day in 2005, USS San Francisco (SSN 711) collided with an uncharted mountain, killing one crew member and injuring 70. The head-on crash ruptured the submarine's forward ballast (buoyancy) tanks and flooded its sonar dome — see the...

I just happened to run across this and since it's a favorite... In 1888 the 36-inch refracting telescope at the Lick Observatory near San Jose, the largest in the world until 1897, was used for the first time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lick_Observatory

A friend of mine's brother left his appx 2006 BMW R1200ST in Alaska and I was just presented with the idea of my riding it back to the 48 for him. Such a trip is pretty long -- in distance the same scale as riding to the East Coast. Would you do such a thing on this sort of bike? How...

I'm thinking about making a bunch of kites. Anybody know about good resources for things like carbon fiber and plexiglass rods? How about getting small plastic parts fabbed up?
