Legal Consent?
These two are taking the law a bit too seriously with their consent agreement.
WARNING: Impressionable students should not get any ideas from this (that they haven’t already had).
Interactive Physics Indeed!
This is a neat video of work done at MIT to link the SMART Board technology with the Interactive Physics software (actually, its cousin called Working Model) that I have used in my physics classes for many years. Check out the comments on this story on digg.com for more details. Want to try it out? Go to my Physics Website for a link to download the Microsoft Physics Illustrator and run this sort of thing on your own Windows PC.

James Hunter, Classic Soul from a Brit
Sometimes it really pays to browse a CD store. I was wandering through one of the Borders in Tulsa when I heard the most amazing classic R&B. But I couldn’t for the life of me identify the performer. It turns out it was JAMES HUNTER, who is simply fantastic. Visit his website to hear tracks from his new CD, People Gonna Talk. Highly recommended!

Google Flatland
The wonderful Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, by a Square is now available for free download from Google Books.
It is a part of Google’s latest effort to offer free downloads of their public domain books. Search for “free books” to find more.
For the uninitiated, Flatland is a fun introduction to one-dimensional and two-dimensional thinking. Plus the concepts developed by it can then help one visualize some of the basics of General Relativity.
