Notes from the Technology Underground: a water-bear, or tardigrade. One of my favourite beasties. And, as Bill says, they're "the world's toughest animal." (See my posts on it, on my old blog, here and here.)
Coturnix visited the Lawrence Hall of Science, and posted a long series of photos, mostly one per post for some reason. Check out the whole series. I especially liked the reptiles and the photo of Janet Stemwedel in a box.
A man alone, a grandfather, builds Stonehenge by himself, using only ancient technology. See the video. Absolutely amazing! From Measured Against Reality.
About colours: from Science Daily, Color is in the Eye of the Beholder. And from Cognitive Daily, Do women perceive color differently from men?
And two extras, non-science: I and the Bird # 53 is at 10,000 Birds. It's the second anniversary edition, and loaded with goodies.
And Good Planets is up at The Gypsy's Caravan. It includes a cute photo of a baby merlin being weighed in a rescue centre (and not looking too happy about it.) I followed the link back to Bird TLC; very interesting.
And this: a load of sand or gravel going by New Westminster Quay on a barge. A little fuzzy because I had to run to keep up with it.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
