Or does it just seem like it?

Published by Ben under Movies, Science

Scientists claim, “deja vu recreated in laboratory”.

(Which, incidentally, deja vu is also the subject and/or title of a movie coming out roundabout Thanksgiving, which looks interesting though not necessarily good.)

Hawk, frog back from extinction

Published by Ben under Eco-Issues

Hopefully they’ll get along okay.

(Don’t worry–they will; they live in different countries.)

In Colombia, a frog (the somewhat lackadaisically-named ‘painted frog’, Atelopus ebenoides marinkellei) is rediscovered, having last been seen in 1995.  And in England, a hawk, troubled in the past, is doing better: the marsh harrier.

Like GoogleMaps for Time

Published by Ben under Etcetera, Web

…but requiring just a little more mucking about.  Still, SIMILE’s Timeline is a potentially awesome tool.  Particularly if it’s user-friendlified a bit.  Right now it’s a bit like GoogleMaps, if GoogleMaps required you to draw all your own maps, plot distances, pinpoint natural landmarks, etc.
