Jenny vs. Spencer - StumbleUpon JENNY vs. SPENCER: SPENCER RESPONDS! I'm sure that everyone has seen Jenny quitting via dry-erase board, but now Jenny's mysterious boss has responded the same way. Geoloqi adds 3 partnerships, extends reach to 1.6M devs Geoloqi, a company helping developers add geo-location abilities to their applications, announced three partnerships today that will enable the company to reach to 1.6 million mobile developers. Geoloqi, which is pronounced geo-low-key, provides tools developers need to add geo-location features into their apps, but are generally a pain to build. The company closed on three partnerships today with Appcelerator, Factual and Locaid. Appcelerator helps 1.6 million developers create mobile applications in a general sense. Locaid processes location-oriented queries for over 350 million smartphones and adds a layer of security to mobile data transactions, and Factual provides databases for developers to tap into and make content-rich apps. The tools Geoloqi offers can be used to develop with any carrier and on any smartphone. The company is not alone in the space, however. Geoloqi launched in February 2012 and has taken on $350,000 in funding thus far. Image via Shutterstock
E-mails from an Asshole From Mike Partlow to *********@*********.org: Hey, I couldn't help but notice your ad looking for a Comanche. I don't have one, but seeing as it is such a rare car I figured I'd help you out and put you in touch with a friend of mine who is selling his. Would you like his contact information?

What did Leo say? he said he is good Great! oh god dammit. fine give him my email Will do! Hey, I just talked to Leo. Yes!
Nanotrees harvest the sun's energy to turn water into hydrogen fuel University of California, San Diego electrical engineers are building a forest of tiny nanowire trees in order to cleanly capture solar energy without using fossil fuels and harvest it for hydrogen fuel generation. Reporting in the journal Nanoscale, the team said nanowires, which are made from abundant natural materials like silicon and zinc oxide, also offer a cheap way to deliver hydrogen fuel on a mass scale. "This is a clean way to generate clean fuel," said Deli Wang, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. The trees' vertical structure and branches are keys to capturing the maximum amount of solar energy, according to Wang. Wang's team has mimicked this structure in their "3D branched nanowire array" which uses a process called photoelectrochemical water-splitting to produce hydrogen gas. The vertical branch structure also maximizes hydrogen gas output, said Sun.

Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Reviews A Note on Indian Bow Making or the Secrets of Sinew Revealed Sinew, the shredded fibers of animal tendon, was used for cordage, binding points on arrow shafts, and for backing material for bows. Why sinew? What are its properties which make it so desirable for these uses? Obviously it is tough and it shrinks when it dries, but how much? Saxton Pope, a professor of Medicine at the University of California in the first part of this century, an intimate of Ishi's, and an ardent bowman, wrote a delightful little book about Indian bows and arrows titled "Bows and Arrows". Pope also did experiments with miniature yew bows backed with rawhide or catgut. The Eskimos also made sinew-backed bows but in their frigid and damp climate it was impossible to do anything with glue, so their sinew was applied in the form of twisted cordage tied on the back of the bow. Reginald Laubin, in his book "American Indian Archery", described his experiences in replicating Indian bows from osage orange wood and sinew. The engineer in me took over. Saxton T.
