Monsoon Season

So I got into Korea just at the start of the rainy season. Actually, it didn't rain that much for the past week, it's just been humid. The rain really started up today and the road near my house was practically flooded. It isn't miserable weather most of the time but I'll be glad when it's over!

Impeachment!

Cute Overload

Everybody needs a bit of cuteness now and again. This is the place to get your fill! I can't remember who introduced me to it, but it is chock full o' cute. A good site to browse when you are down in the dumps! The pups section is my favorite. That's where this little guy resides.

Gravity Map of the Earth

A gravity map of the Earth and it is bizarre; you can weigh less in one country versus another.

Crash in Indiana

We were driving from Chicago to Cleveland yesterday and had the misfortune to witness this event. The car was actually fused to the truck by the time they got the fire out and it didn't look pretty. I don't like driving on the highways much! The car is actually in the picture, though you can't tell because it is under the front of the semi....ugh.

A robot that will teach you about vinegar...and maybe pickle you in it!

Presenting the Tamanoi Vinegar Robot...supposedly it only talks about vinegar, (while plotting our doom!),.,.;

Here is a video, and believe it or not it looks friendly (for now!)

'Living plugs' smooth ant journey

This is from BBC news: "A scientific study of the teamwork of army ants has discovered how they are prepared to let their fellow ants walk all over them to get the job done."
Now, I'm not the biggest ant fan in the world, but you have to admire their teamwork!

Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea

An interesting website about Busan (Pusan).... I think maybe a robot translated the text because it is, well, not exactly what you might expect....an example: "It ripples, as will be good the orthocenter is shallow and neither the wave which is burnt counts and not to be as the swimming beach Ansong it fixes it has a condition." I've never met a Korean who speaks or writes like that in English, so what do you think?

Wind Powered Robot

There is an artist/engineer by the name of Theo Jansen who makes these neat, wind-powered, moving works of art....check it out, the videos are really neat.

Humanity in miniature

I've had this link on my computer for some time but just came across it again. No idea how I found out about it anymore. (click on the image and select your language when the link opens...then click play at the bottom once it has loaded)

Definitely an interesting thing to watch...if a little troubling...

I like the "appreciate what you have" quote.

Looks like eventually....
