Exploring the Pythagorean Theorem – Flotsam & Jetsam
http://timwarner.org/2012/12/14/exploring-the-pythagorean-theorem
Things I've Found that Mostly Float. Amazing Airport Model ». Exploring the Pythagorean Theorem. Sal Khan from Khan Academy goes through several proofs of the Pythagorean theorem. What I particularly love about all of these is how geometric and visual they are. It might even be possible to do Bhaskara’s proof with a couple of squares of paper and some scissors, making it accessible to little kids with no concept of algebra. President James Garfield’s proof using trapezoids. This entry was written by tim.

Things I've Found that Mostly Float. Largest and Smallest (and all things in between). January 12, 2014 – 10:33 pm. Http:/ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140112.html Use the slider to see things as small as quantum foam (and strings), or as large as the biggest known features of the universe. It’s a bit like an interactive version of the Eames’ “Powers of Ten” movie (https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? V=0fKBhvDjuy0), but showing collections of things in relative scale.

Curiosity Mission – Flotsam & Jetsam
http://timwarner.org/2012/08/06/curiosity-mission
Things I've Found that Mostly Float. Exploring the Pythagorean Theorem ». I watched the landing of the newest Mars rover Curiosity last night. It was fun being a part if just an observer of this event, and I was moved not only by the accomplishment (amazing! But by the emotion in the room. It will be exciting to see how this mission unfolds over the next 2 years. And how about this? The HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter snapped a picture of it with chute deployed. Incredible.

Disco Ball Helmet – Flotsam & Jetsam

Things I've Found that Mostly Float. Somewhat gratified ». If I were the type to ride a motorcycle, I think I’d want this:. Http:/ www.instructables.com/id/Disco-Ball-Helmet/. I really wonder what it might look like on a very sunny day, and how often this person might get pulled over for presenting a danger to other drivers. Cf. the episode of CHiPs in which Ponch and the other guy track down the mirror-sterious cause of an accident on the 10. Those two were geniuses. This entry was written by tim.

Go – Flotsam & Jetsam
http://timwarner.org/go
Things I've Found that Mostly Float. I’m a big fan of the Asian board game Go. To me, it is a fabulous game, deeper than Chess, more of a metaphor for life, and reflective of the thoughtful, long-term perspectives you see in Asian cultures. My interest was rekindled recently when I discovered the manga. After mentioning a desire to start a Go club at the local public school. If you already play the game, this site is pretty interesting: http:/ www.goproblems.com/.
