Here’s an absolutely geeky video that I came across when reading about non-newtonian fluids. While it is a fluid, when stressed it exhibits the properties of a solid. What this means is that if you stand still, you will sink like you would in any other fluid, but if you move fast it will be solid under your feet.

This particular pool of fluid is a mixture of cornstarch and water.

You have to watch to get the entire effect.

I set up this blog a few weeks ago, and made a test post that stated “how’d you get here??” Since then, I’ve been thinking a bit more about what I want to do with this blog. My problem is that I have too many ideas and not enough time. The initial concept was to do a blog that contains nothing but technical tips. Additionally, though, I’d like to do a blog of interesting things I find on the web. I’d also like to have a blog where I can post random thoughts.

So there lies my problem… I am wondering how I’ll fit one blog into my schedule, and I’d actually like to do three different ones. So prepare yourself, as I’m going to combine it all into one; and there might not be a rhyme or reason as to how my posts relate.

But to start, I need to get something else up than that initial test post, as it seems there are several people coming to this blog every day. So I’ll be deleting what was up there so far, and this will become the official First Post.
