2015-03-31 See Through Electronics

My sister sent me this link to a 5 minute video from Corning Glass about all the things of the future you might see that will be made of glass. I think a good amount of what it shows may come true.  But I would like to add my fair share of what I have

2015-03-30 Crazy Geiger Counter

A relative was more than a little bit concerned, and sent me this link.
