Et tu, YouTube: Viacom

We frequently use video clips on this site, many, but not all, from YouTube. To say YouTube has revolutionized web video content would be accurate, neither an understatement nor an exaggeration. The amount of material uploaded to YouTube is staggering.

Ah, finally some useful stuff done with math modeling.... ;-)

YouTube Usage Decoded:

Is YouTube Doing Anything Wrong? (Free Egg Rolls...)

YouTube, the open-source video upload site, is as popular as ever following its buyout from Google.

YouTube has banned the James Randi Educational Foundation!?!?

This is insane: YouTube has become an overzealous nanny, protecting kooks from offense, now banning the eminently respectable JREF.

Americans seem to be even more misinformed about basic math. Apparently a ton of people want the 3rd quintile to earn MORE money than the 2nd.

Meet Charlie

October 30, 2017

It's been a couple of years since we lost the Queen of Niskayuna, and we've held off getting a dog until now because we were planning a big home renovation-- adding on to the mud room, creating a new bedroom on the second floor, and gutting and replacing the kitchen. This was quite the undertaking…

Physics Blogging Round-Up: August

September 1, 2017

Another month, another set of blog posts. This one includes the highest traffic I think I've ever seen for a post, including the one that started me on the path to a book deal: -- The ALPHA Experiment Records Another First In Measuring Antihydrogen: The good folks trapping antimatter at CERN have…

The Age Math Game

August 22, 2017

I keep falling down on my duty to provide cute-kid content, here; I also keep forgetting to post something about a nerdy bit of our morning routine. So, let's maximize the bird-to-stone ratio, and do them at the same time. The Pip can be a Morning Dude at times, but SteelyKid is never very happy to…

Kid Art Update

August 13, 2017

Our big home renovation has added a level of chaos to everything that's gotten in the way of my doing more regular cute-kid updates. And even more routine tasks, like photographing the giant pile of kid art that we had to move out of the dining room. Clearing stuff up for the next big stage of the…
