Symphony of Science new video

Is there anything cooler than listening to some of our physicists heroes explaining our universe?
Yeah! Watching them 'singing' the theories!

This clip is called "The Quantum World" and it's the 11th video edited and composed by the talented John Boswell from the Symphony of Science project, "...designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form".
I strongly recommend you to visit the Symphony of Science site and watch all the previous videos, featuring other great hero scientists, such as Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins and more.

I want to finish this post with a very inspiring thought from Michio Kaku's Facebook account:
"Some people seek meaning in life through personal gain, through personal relationship, or through personal experiences. However, it seems to me that being blessed with the intellect to divine the ultimate secrets of nature gives meaning enough to life."

Enjoy the vid and the science in it! :-)

Wanted! My own R2-D2!

Motorola Droid 2 R2-D2 Milestone Star Wars Smartphone

The new Droid 2 R2-D2, Motorola smartphone made its awaited appeareance three weeks ago and I'm still wondering if they would release a version for Europe, (though it's odd that the european name for this phone is Milestone).

If you don't know it yet and are curious about its specifications, you can check this video on Youtube, which gives a lot of info on it, or visit their nice official website.

The $$value$$ of Pop Culture

I've been wanting to write a post about this since I saw the ad on eBay:

Todd McFarlane Spider-Man Original Cover Art on eBay

I've always had heard about the big amounts of money that comic collectors would spent for a very rare issue and other special things related to the comic books world... But getting the chance to see it with my own eyes and follow it in 'real time' was certainly 'amazing', just as the price of $71,200 that this auction reached for an original art cover of The AMAZING SPIDER-MAN by Todd McFarlane.

As McFarlane himself tells in his own Twitter account, he sold this original Spiderman art from the 80's some years ago for around $700, and jokes about the final auction price, saying that he should have asked for $800 instead... :-)

Being a great comic books fan, I'm always glad to see Pop Culture being highly appreciated. After all, this is the same comic artist that a few years later achieved to sell 2.5 million copies of the initial issue of Spider-Man, a new series in which he totally 'reinvented' the arachnid character.

Congrats to the winner!

Now, I'm making myself comfortable for some serious Spidey reading:
