Ever wondered why pirates wear eye-patches?
Human vision, which in many ways our most dominant sense, is really pretty amazing. Your eyes and visual system are continually adjusting and integrating so many different things to give us a coherent idea of the world that we’re in. Occasionally we’ll notice a […]

Here’s a cool idea. Build a cheap laptop, around $100, that designed for children all around the world. Especially the developing world, where there isn’t access to the latest technologies or even regular electricity. Have it use enough power that human energy can charge it up.
