Crazy Things I Found on the Internet: November 2011
So I decided, let’s start this new regular post.
Superhydrophobic
Ever dreamed of possessing water manipulation abilies, like the Water Benders from Avatar?
Well, you can’t. Yet.
BUT soon you will have the ability to repel water like you’re its absolute nemesis.
Dibs to geek-extraordinaire and childhood friend Alex for the finding.
Aurora Borealis: on the flip side
This is really cool. A few awesome people took part in this Around-the-globe Time-Lapse, which in itself is impressive. One thing I didn’t expect is how amazing the Auroras would look like, from the other side.

Book Review: His Majesty’s Dragon
Ladies and gentlemen, greetings.
It is with an utmost pleasure that I present to you my very first review of a book: His Majesty’s Dragon.
Gentlemen-speaking aside, this book contains a lot of it, and I found myself enjoying the politeness-and-intricacies abuse more than I cared to admit at first. Considering that despite my very limited free time, I went through this book in but a week, I daresay it’s possible that I might have enjoyed it.
To quickly describe the setting, imagine a 1800-style England, where “Kingdom” still means something, and Napoleon Bonaparte is reigning in France and invading everything around. Therefore he’s of course trying to invade the british, and he holds a most impressive Air Force with which he seeks to do just that.
Wait… Air Force? In the 1800s?
Yup. That’s where DRAGONS come into play.
