``Blogless Blog'' (is that too much? no, it's ok?)

I now have more blogs than I can count on one hand, and I knowz binary.
This and twitter are probably the only things that will ever get updated?

Super Mario vs. The World by Sebastian von Buchwald

Mario has finally had enough of all the pixel and polygon pretenders to his throne, carved from the broken skulls of enemies past. Embarking on a painstaking journey across Vidya Gaem Land to do battle with each level’s greatest warriors, Mario intends to stomp on the head of whomever dare challenge him. You can check out many more in this series as well as other cool arts at Sebastian’s deviantart .

the-star-stuff: Spiders Hunt With 3-D Vision [By Elsa Youngsteadt, ScienceNOW] With their keen vision and deadly-accurate pounce, jumping spiders are the cats of the invertebrate world. For decades, scientists have puzzled over how the spiders’ miniature nervous systems manage such sophisticated perception and hunting behavior. A new study of Adanson’s jumping spider (Hasarius adansoni) fills in one key ingredient: an unusual form of depth perception. Like all jumping spiders, the Adanson’s spider has eight eyes. The two big ones, front and center on the spider’s “face,” have the sharpest vision. They include a lens that projects an image onto the retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. That much is common in animal vision, but the jumping spider’s retina takes things a step further: It consists of not one but four distinct layers of light-sensitive cells. Biologists weren’t sure what all those layers were for, and research in the 1980s made them even more enigmatic. Studies showed that whenever an object is focused on the base layer, it is out of focus on the next layer up—which would seem to make the spider’s vision blurrier rather than sharper.

fuckyeahfluiddynamics: This schlieren image shows a sphere traveling at Mach 3 over a perforated plate. The bow shock in front of the sphere is clearly visible, as is its reflection off the plate. The pressure caused by the bow shock produces a series of spherical acoustic waves below the plate. A tiny vortex ring moves downward from each hole, followed at the right by a secondary ring moving upward from the holes in the plate.

I don’t understand why y’all are trying to deprive the followers of this blog from gems like this by not telling me about them. Or showing it to me, but not giving me a source, so I couldn’t reblog it until now. everyone should be following disneyfaceswap anyway, but the nigel ones deserve special attention.
