The physics of the skateboard "ollie" [Skateboard Science]. I have spent considerable time trying to wrap my brain around this one and I have to say that I did have it pretty much figured out. My goal in trying to figure it out was, of course, to be able to perform the feat myself. I still can't do an ollie very effectively, but now I know why it works in the first place. I guess that's a partial win. 3:28:21 PM    comment []

The line between the Internet and the real world has just gotten a little bit more blurry. An Australian company will now take your physical mail, scan it and transform it to email [Slashdot]. All you have to do have your snail mail delivered to them. Great idea for those of us who are tired of getting paper cuts from opening envelopes. 11:19:10 AM    comment []
