Connected Water

Earths water may have formed deep within mantle

To eat, cook, bathe with water
to play with a part of Earth
so deep inside

a fly on an orange
the juice its sipping on
is connected throughout
the digit

What happened to my morning tea?

Why does coffee heated up in the microwave foam up when sugar is added

What is an Experiment?

It makes the effect
of the invisible atoms
visible

Invisible here is
to the human eye

California two-spot octopus
sees with its skin

Whats inaudible to us
is not to dogs

Animal dictionary
does not match ours

Is life's purpose a
unified dictionary?

In the dark
does it matter
what color the octopus is?

It all depends on the prey's
eyes

Can a blind person
now see with his skin
or a deaf person
through some other
mechanism than ears?

Biomimicry
until all living things
sense in the same way.

The Fourteenth Goldfish



In a very simple manner, very serious issues have been dealth with. The goldfish mention may fool the reader that it is one of those made up things that you have to use a bit of suspended belief. But just like the umpteen goldfish that replace the last one so it seems immortal to the little girl Ellie. Many truths and lessons accumulate in this small book. Knowing the truth of gold fish life term is the metamorphism akin to whats in store for about to be teenager Ellie. Between new and old friends, she gets a peek into her new teenager friend who is her grandfather, a scientist. From him she learns and finds her passion, just like her parents want her to find one. She learns of the two way edge sword called science.
author Jennifer Holm has very cleverly used the plot elements of having a character duo of the granddaughter and grandpa translatable to her age. Award worthy work.

Chandler Science Spectacular



When I read about the Tech Crawl, I took a while to understand that it involved hopping around the city. Boy what fun it is. We started with Air Products. Now we know what those big white tanks store.  Their contents are used in frozen foods and par-baked oven goods.
A friend told about how liquid nitrogen is used for stopping warts.
Intel had a transcoder with 70 channels while it was able to do only 4 channels up until this product.
