Now THIS is cool.

I'm not quite sure how this works (need to do some reading), but boy is it cool! Imagine the possible uses of this technology. AWESOME.

Edit: Here is another video with some explanation. This is so cool I can hardly stand it.



Remember the movie avatar? The "unobtanium" the humans were mining on Pandora was a high temperature semi conductor. I.E. the same as the material in these discs but w/o the need for super low temperatures. You can see how a material like this would make all kinds of cool stuff possible.

Beautiful.

This is an amazing time lapse video.  Really shows the beauty of the world we live in.  Click full screen and HD when you watch it.  Oh, and turn the volume up.

Night flying at EAA.

Here is a cool video of the night time airshow at Airventure 2011.  I like how you can see the wingtip vortices in the fireworks.

Includes attitude, position, and velocity information, temps and pressures inside, volts and amps coming from the solar panels, temperature of coolant, etc. etc. Pretty neeto if you ask me. Also, they are apparently going to make it all available in a android/iphone app too!
