This pole entered through the windshield on the passenger side...

...and exited through the rear side window on the driver's side.

The passenger was struck by the pole, but, luckily, did not lose consciousness and did not have any broken bones.

Project Glass: One day...



Project Glass "took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do."

Smily Cancer

In 2008 I admired the Smily Faces created with DNA from the TED Talk Paul Rothemund: Casting spells with DNA.

Today I found another Smily Face picture formed by the nucleus of a cancer cell:



From the Discover Magazine Bad Atronomy blog:

Australian researchers at the Westmead Millennium Institute for Medical Research were investigating how the protein beta-catenin invades a cell’s nucleus and causes it to become cancerous, when they spotted the protein apparently mocking them.


Cool.
