This is a video taken of the lunar eclipse that was recoded at moon set
Supernova 2011fe in M101 (NGC 5457) - Pinwheel Galaxy - has been discovered and can be seen with binoculars and/or telescope. This supernova will be one of the more brilliant supernovas to been seen from Earth.
I was able to test a Sony HandyCam HDR-CX130 Camcorder. I was able to get a video of the moon, one night.
Galileo Galilei’s telescope had about 20x - 30x optical magnification. The HandyCam’s 30x optical zoom should give us an idea of what Galiao saw when he looked at the moon with his telescope.

Free Operating System Disk Images For VirtualBox Downloads
3/28/2011
VirtualBox is a free virtual machine (emulator) for Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris. SourceForge (VirtualBoxes.org) has made large amounts of free operating system disk images for VirtualBox. VirtualBox runs the disk images with the need for drive partitioning and difficult installation. The disk images can be placed on flash drives (thumb drives). This allows the disk image to be taken with the user and run on any computer that has VirtualBox installed.
Cat vs Computer Mouse Screen Program
3/14/2011
I was cat sitting, one whole week, for some family members. The kitty was very aggressive towards the computer monitor. Every time something changed on the screen, the cat tried to catch it. The screen was not damaged, because the screen’s glass was harder than the cat’s claw. I decided to make a computer program for the cat. The results are quite funny.
Can't Swim With Manatees But Can Swim With Alligators
1/14/2011
This is Blue Spring State Park in Florida. This video was taken after New Years 2011. Manatees enter the spring to escape the coldness of winter. There were 188 recorded manatees in the spring that day. The day was was chilly, and, early in the morning, the manatees were mostly laying on the bottom of the spring. As the sun rose higher in the sky, the manatees were more active.

Does Bread Fall Butter Side Down?
4/6/2010
Why does bread land butter side down? People have asked that question for over 100 years.
NewsPaper in Norwalk Ohio 1841:
I never had a slice of bread,
Particularly large and wide,
That did not fall upon the floor,
And always on the buttered side!
What This Is About:
Experiments will be conducted to see if bread and toast lands butter side down.
Computer Programming with Free Pascal
11/28/09
Pascal was created as a teaching language for programming. Pascal became very popular with Borland’s Turbo Pascal and Delphi brands in the 80’s and 90’s. Delphi, Turbo Pascal’s replacement, is still available for commercial development of Windows programs. However, many educational institutions are still using Turbo Pascal or not teaching programming at all. Teachers should look at a clone of Turbo Pascal/Delphi called Free Pascal with the IDE Lazarus for teaching computer programming.

Duck and Cover: More Than Just a Lesson on 1950’s Cold War Propaganda 3/25/09
Duck and Cover is more than just a lesson of Cold War history, it is also a lesson on civil rights and integration.
Duck and Cover is an educational film produced in 1951 by the U.S. Civil Defense. The film features Bert the Turtle as the main character. Bert is a cartoon character used to teach children what to do incase of a Soviet nuclear attack.
Typically, the film is used in history classes as part of Cold War lessons. However, there is something, in the film, that is overlooked by the majority of people watching. What is normally overlooked is that the classrooms and schoolchildren are integrated. Watch carefully at these times and the later part of the film for black children interacting with white children. (1:36, 2:08 - 2:19, there are more shots of black children with white children in the rest of the film)
Making Money with AdSense, Affiliate Programs, Blogs and Websites 3/21/09 (Updated 2/27/2010)
Introduction:
Lets face it, this economy is hurting and many people and non-profit companies are not doing well. Creating informative websites and blogs can be relatively easy to do. These sites can produce extra cash for the owner and can be created at very low cost. Money can be generated from the web by joining the AdSense and affiliate programs. Joining the AdSense program and becoming an affiliate is a simple as filling out a form. Even, with the downturn in the economy, there still is opportunity to raise extra money for yourself or for the organization. This blog will give you some ideas and suggestions on how to earn some extra cash by creating a website and/or blog.
Getting Started:
Although, we want to make money, it is more important to focus on creating good content than to try to make money at this point. Remember, the more people coming to the site, over and over again, will generate more revenue for your site. First, worry about creating good content, and the ad revenue will follow. Therefore, the first thing should be done, is to decide what the content is to be. When choosing content, pick something that you are interested in. If you like reading books, do book reviews and suggestions on what to read. If you are interested in software for children then reviews of software might be the answer. Many titles have trial versions and demos where you can have enough time to get to know the software and write the review without having to pay for anything. Writing about your hobby can increase your knowledge of the hobby and make it easer to create content for the site.
For non-profit groups, it might be best to create a different site with a different domain name to run advertising on, instead of your main site. Creating a blog or site to generate advertising revenue can make it look like you are promoting commercial products and can make the non-profit page look tacky with ads on it. Creating a different site isolates your main site from attempting to generate money.
