This article talks about fabric made from spider silk.  The spider is the golden orb spider of Madagascar and its silk is a saffron color.  Apparently, this is the first time in a century that there has been an attempt to make fabric from the silk.  It is really amazing fabric!  The link to the New York Times article is below:

Space Debris

This article has images showing where space junk is located orbiting the Earth.  It explains how space junk is tracked and gives links for more information.  The images are quite interesting!

Space Debris

Orbital debris, or “space junk,” is any man-made object in orbit around the Earth that no longer serves a useful purpose. Space junk can be bad news for an orbiting satellite. On February 11, 2009, a U.S. communications satellite owned by a private company called Iridium collided with a non-functioning Russian satellite.

I’ve just added a video and a link to “My Interests Outside of Work”

I came across a video about human origins on TED and I thought it was simply amazing!  The speaker talked about how humans evolved from aquatic apes.  The speaker is Elaine Morgan.  I had heard about this idea before from a book I read by David Horrobin, The Madness of Adam + Eve, so I was a somewhat familiar with the idea.  It was cool to see it mentioned in a TED talk and I felt I had to share it.

The link that I posted is to SiD Nepal’s WordPress blog, Sidnepal’s Blog.  The link is listed right below the link to their brochure.  I have also put the link in my Blogroll in the right sidebar.  It explains more about the work that they do and has contact information.

Just posted a video to “My Interests Outside of Work”

I just posted a YouTube video that I came across about the 40th Anniversary of the moon landing on the page I created for my interests outside of work.  The link to that page is in the left hand sidebar.  I have had an interest in astronomy since I was a child living in the desert in Mexico.  This video briefly chronicles the events leading up to and following the moon landing.

Just added link to SiD Nepal’s blog

I’ve just added a link to SiD Nepal’s blog on WordPress.  It has information about what they do and explains more about their mission and objectives.  This is the group of people that I worked with when I went to learn about Dhaka weaving during my trip to Nepal.  There is contact information there for those wishing to work with SiD Nepal.

Uploaded more pictures of Dhaka weaving
