I'm just a little tired tonight and since I didn't come across anything chemistry related that I felt like discussing today, I think I'll just let it go until tomorrow.
In a sad bit of news, The Chem Blog may be shutting down in the near future. I've only been reading it for a short time, but we need all the chemistry related blogs we can get in this world.
In my last post, I mentioned a little piece of software call Phun. Well, the kids absolutely love it. It's far, far better than I expected and I'm playing around with it myself. You owe it to yourself to watch the video and see what it can do. Design perpetual motion machines, create vehicles that move, and build diabolical death traps to destroy those vehicles. I'm especially impressed with the simulation of liquids. I cannot imagine the programming that went into this thing. The physics is not always perfect and large volumes of water can slow the frame rate, but this is an awesome program. Check out the video here.

So you say Phun is as entertaining as it looks? I may have to check it out sometime.
