Nikon’s Universcale

Published in All Grades, Science on December 21, 2007

My pal, Sandra Gluth, passed this one on quite a while ago. I’ve been saving it for a good day…

We are able to view all entities, from the microworld to the universe, from a single perspective. By setting them up against a scale, we are able to compare and understand things which cannot be physically compared. Today, using the electron microscope and astronomical telescope, we can see the objects which we have not been aware of its existence before. Are you able to fathom, or even roughly grasp, these sizes. See Nikon’s Universcale and experience the sizes of various objects.

And that brings me to a two-week Christmas break! Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope that you all have a safe and relaxing holiday that offers you a chance to recharge your batteries! Talk to you again starting January 7, 2008…

You Send It

Published in Professional, Senior Grades on December 20, 2007

List member, Shannay Witte, uses a site called You Send It – It is free up to 100 MB. You enter the person’s e-mail that you want to send it to, find the file on your desktop, and send it. It actually uploads the file to their server and sends a message to the person with a link to download the file. It stays on their server for 7 days. I’m going to let my students know about this one so they can get their files back and forth between the lab and home.

Payscale Meeting Miser

Published in Professional on December 14, 2007

List member, Ken, wrote me about Payscale – the Meeting Miser:

“If you?ve ever wondered how much the cost of a meeting is this site provides you with a tool to monitor the cost of having people attend a meeting. I think administrators need to see how when they call a meeting they have a true cost to evaluate the actual worth of the time spent. I attended a meeting the other day and the cost for the people that were there was $0.08/second or about $5.00 a minute not counting sub costs which made the value of the meeting at $3000.00. This gets replicated in our division 20 -25 times a year. ”
