Fun stuff for Friday

Posted by Peter J. Jones on October 21, 2011

Here’s some fun stuff to help boost the enjoyment of your Friday.

Remember those noisy 3.5" floppy drives? Watch dueling drives play the Imperial March, and read how it was done.
You’ve probably seen the video of the levitating superconductor. This article explains how it works (with the video embedded so you can watch it a few more times).
You can now pre-order The Geek Dad Book for Aspiring Mad Scientists which promises to be a great way for you to share your geekiness with your kids.
If you missed it back in August, NPR compiled a list of the Top 100 Science-Fiction, Fantasy Books.

Enjoy your Friday and have a great weekend.
