3D Printed Moon base

The European Space Agency (ESA) is looking to build a lunar base with 3D printing using local materials on the moon. The 3D structures are built layer-by-layer. The lunar material would be combined with magnesium oxide, which turns it into a "paper" to be printed with. Then, for the "ink," a binding salt is added to transform the material into a solid. The architects are trying to create a structure that can handle the harsh weather and environment that the moon can have. “3D printing offers a potential means of facilitating lunar settlement with reduced logistics from Earth,” said Scott Hovland of ESA’s human spaceflight team.

Twitter ‘Hate Map’ shows where racist, homophobic, and offensive tweets originate

Students at Humboldt State University in California individually reviewed 150,000 geocoded tweets containing racist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive terms to build a “hate map” indicating where people in the U.S. are most bigoted.
Or, at least, where they’re the most open about displaying their antisocial views.

The original vampires of medieval Slavic myths were described as mindless and decaying, almost pitiable sufferers of the curse they must endure. The popular image of the brooding and sartorial undead charmer was created in the name of entertainment. Over the last 25 years, vampire films have become more stylish and hard-hitting, pushing the boundaries of the genre http://econ.st/YQfpW5

I need to practice making a face like this. I don't think anyone could ever say "no" to it.

One cool moment at the East Coast Game Conference was to have the Ubisoft people come by and start playing with our Surface Pro and be surprised to find their Rayman Jungle Run installed.

After that they were curious if they could install and play Might and Magic in the Surface. And guess what? they did it without a problem!

Learn to Read Chinese in Eight Minutes
http://chineasy.org/
http://www.forbes.com/sites/bruceupbin/2013/04/25/learn-to-read-chinese-in-eight-minutes/

The creator of Chineasy, ShaoLan Hsueh, says that "if you can learn just the top two hundred characters, it is enough to be able to read about forty percent of popular Chinese literature." The idea is to make it easy to get started using drawings and stories to learn a few characters, and then learn how to combine them.

Hmm. Maybe I could learn a little bit in eight minutes, but the real question is: would I remember it? I studied Hebrew for several years and then forgot all of it in one summer vacation!

What do you think?

If I am not mistaken I haven't shared this app made by a colleague here at MS. Quite cool if you are a stargazer.

Poodle Moth

This tiny creature is not a Pokemon! First reported in 2009 from the Gran Sabana region of Venezuela's Canaima National Park, this image is now all over the internet. Scientists trying to identify the species think it is related to "muslin moths" and belong to the genus Artace .
