We all know our bodies are home to countless millions of bacteria and microorganisms, but without seeing them with our bare eyes it’s almost impossible to comprehend. This petri dish handprint created by Tasha Sturm of Cabrillo College, vividly illustrates the variety of bacteria found on her 8-year-old son’s hand after playing outdoors. The print itself represents several days of growth as different yeasts, fungi, and bacteria are allowed to incubate.

It’s safe to say almost everything you see growing in this specimen is harmless and in many cases even beneficial to a person’s immunity, but it just goes to show why we sometimes it’s good to wash our hands. Sturm discusses in detail how she made the print in the comments of this page. (via Ziya Tong)

- Helen Mirrin, In the Frame

trollhunter (2010)

trolls. do they exist? according to one norwegian documentary - yes, they do.

ok, so this is a faux-documentary with special effects - but it’s surprisingly well-made and a good bit of brain candy, and who couldn’t use a bit of that on a saturday night? your results may vary depending on the need for trolls in your life.

netflix recommended this to me. not sure what that says, apparently i have troll needs.

i’m ok with that.

Drones have seen a lot of bad press and idiotic hype that has slowed their acceptance by regulators and the public. But let's not forget that they perform valuable services like search and rescue and inspection that can't be done any other way. A gre...
