Universal Everything / UK Close-sound based visuals

Some really cool stuff I found searching out sound/visual relationships. This video is of a visual projected installation. The sound generates the visuals!

Roanoke Island, NC Tree

Many theories exist about the settlers' fate on Roanoke Island, but none has been fully substantiated. One view is that the colonists sought refuge with neighboring Native Americans (probably the Coharie tribe) and were absorbed through intermarriage. Others have argued that the settlers were wiped out by an attack from Native Americans or by an unusually violent storm. Recent scientific studies involving tree ring growth analysis indicate the existence of a severe drought at that time — the worst in hundreds of years.

Cosmic Hand Reaches for the Light

Tiny and dying but still-powerful stars called pulsars spin like crazy and light up their surroundings, often with ghostly glows. So it is with PSR B1509-58, which long ago collapsed into a sphere just 12 miles in diameter after running out of fuel.
And what a strange scene this one has created.
In a new image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, high-energy X-rays emanating from the nebula around PSR B1509-58 have been colored blue to reveal a structure resembling a hand reaching for some eternal red cosmic light.
The star now spins around at the dizzying pace of seven times every second -- as pulsars do -- spewing energy into space that creates the scene.
Strong magnetic fields, 15 trillion times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field, are thought to be involved, too. The combination drives an energetic wind of electrons and ions away from the dying star. As the electrons move through the magnetized nebula, they radiate away their energy as X-rays.
The red light actually a neighboring gas cloud, RCW 89, energized into glowing by the fingers of the PSR B1509-58 nebula, astronomers believe.
The scene, which spans 150 light-years, is about 17,000 light years away, so what we see now is how it actually looked 17,000 years ago, and that light is just arriving here.
A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers).

Charlie Manson the next AMERICAN IDOL!

I think that should American Idol needs to find its next new star in the prison system!

Good tip for Candidacy/Thesis meetings

I think this guy has the best strategy if you don't know how to answer a question during an interview.

EJECT! EJECT!
