Dolphin Party!

It's a dolphin party in Howe Sound, British Columbia.

Roughly 150 Pacific white-sided dolphins frolic around the Aquarium's research boat. To see so many at once near Vancouver is rare, according to Dr. Lance Barrett-Lennard, the Aquarium's whale and dolphin scientist. They've probably come for the herring, which seem to be returning in greater numbers. LINK: Youtube

Roombas Playing Pac-Man

(YouTube Link)

Three computer scientists at Colorado University programmed several Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners to act like Pac-Man and the ghosts which chase him. Jack Elston, Cory Dixon, and Maciej Stachura did so in order to demonstrate the unmanned aerial system that they are developing.

Nikola Tesla

Today is Nikola Tesla's birthday. Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer.

Tesla was an ethnic Serb born in the village of Smiljan, Vojna Krajina, in the territory of today's Croatia.

He was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. Tesla is often described as an important scientist and inventor of the modern age, a man who 'shed light over the face of Earth.'

Nikola Tesla is best known for many revolutionary contributions in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. LINK
