I want you all to go read this comic, because it’s amazing, and if you haven’t heard of Boulet, now is your chance to make it right.  He’s the greatest, this comic is the best.

Worth it.

i got so sucked into this. amazing. simply brilliant.

This Is NASA’s Cancer-Sniffing Cellphone Sensor

What if you could use your phone to test the air for toxins? What if you could monitor your health simply by blowing on it? Sounds amazing, right? Nanosensor technology developed by NASA Ames is going to make that a reality.

Jing Li, a scientist at NASA Ames, has been working for years on what will be the greatest phone accessory of all time. It’s a small chip (about the size of a postage stamp) that houses 32 nanosensor bars. Each bar is composed of a different nano-structure material. Because each sensor bar is unique it can respond to different chemicals in different ways, enabling it to not only differentiate between them, but also to monitor their relative levels, in real time.

In its current state (which is looking mighty close to production-ready), it’s housed in a small case that attaches to a smartphone. For legal reasons they wouldn’t say which smartphone it’s built to attach to, but you can probably guess. Eventually, it will be built to attach to many other popular models. The idea is to develop a low-cost version so that consumers can afford to have them for health and safety applications. But let’s back up a second.

This nanosensor technology was originally developed by NASA Ames for space applications. This is NASA, after all. The first usage was monitoring for fuel leaks around launch vehicles. They’ve been on the International Space Station since 2008, monitoring air-quality and checking for formaldehyde in the air. Future applications could include taking samples on asteroids and Mars missions. So that’s where it started, but the Department of Homeland Security is now funding this project in order to bring it back down to earth—and to consumers.

The most exciting potential use, though, is how it could diagnose and monitor people with medical conditions. For example, for diabetes patients there is a direct correlation between the level of acetone in their breath and the level of sugar in their blood. The nanosensor could be used as a completely non-invasive diagnosis and measurement method. Just breathe on your phone. No more pricking your finger a million times a day. We have a pretty serious aversion to the word revolutionary here, but this thing fits the bill.

I love this sequence, and almost answer “is this true?” with Bill Murray’s response.

Photo Series of the Day: From photographer Traer Scott’s Shelter Dogs — a photo book featuring black-and-white portraits of homeless and abandoned dogs living in shelters across America.

By documenting the undeniable expressions of emotion in the dogs encountered in her volunteer work, Scott raises awareness of animal rescue causes, and especially the need for more adoptive homes for abandoned dogs.

Scott donates a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of each book to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

I made this last night after watching the Watch the Throne behind-the-scenes video. It’s hard to capture in stills just how much it looks like they’re walking Beyoncé at some kind of Beyoncé park. She’s just off walking around while they stand there and watch her.

And I could not stop laughing about walking Beyoncé at a Beyoncé park.

Anyway, I’m an idiot.

oh my god, lucky this is the most perfect thing.

Trees like this giant sequoia were seedlings as early as the time that Hatshepsut sat on the throne as the first female pharaoh of Egypt. That was 3,500 years ago. And today they are more threatened than ever.

Sometimes you just need a beautiful slideshow of giant, old trees to remind you how of the splendor of nature, and how it’s worth protecting.
