aesthetics: less philosophy, more science.

Periodic Table

Periodic Table
Originally uploaded by The Workerman

I don't have much use for the periodic table in my everyday life, but there is something about it that I find really appealing. For instance, I have a pretty strong desire to upgrade my current shower curtain to one that will teach me about the elements.

So I was pretty excited when I stumbled across this periodic table. Not quite academic, but it makes up for it's lack of science with aesthetics. Be sure to check out The Workerman's photostream to see each element in all its glory.

shazam, biodiversity!

excellent graphics and a jaunty background tune make this video hands down the best 2 and a half minute science presentation ever. i wish i had this video for world biodiversity day. but shouldn't everyday be a day to celebrate biological diversity? just listen to the video.
