Chicago area folks:
NIU's STEM Cafe is having discussion of "The Physics of Game of Thrones"
he Physics of Game of Thrones October 15, 6:30p.m. - 8:30p.m. Two Brothers Roundhouse, 205 N. Broadway Aurora, IL 60505
Join Dr. Rebecca Thompson, Head of Public Outreach for the American Physical Society, for a fun and fantastical discussion on the fundamental laws of science that Game of Thrones gets right. Find out how dragon fire matures, how ice walls keep white walkers out, and how summer can last for ten years. There’s even a surprise physics problem at the end for romantics!
I thought some people here might be interested.
Remember the traveling nail polish box? (Or, hey, even if you don't: look, it's a traveling nail polish box!)
I wasn't a part of the original traveling nail polish box, so I don't know when it stopped traveling. But amyth was purging her polish collection, and I've started a bit of a nail polish obsession, so she sent them to me. (Woo hoo!)
Is there any interest in reviving the traveling nail polish box? Because amyth sent me A LOT of polishes, and I won't keep them all. So I'd be happy to send them on to someone else (possibly with more from my collection).
If you're interested, email me at my profile addy.
Hi, all -
Our host is doing some upgrades on Monday, so there may be a few minutes of downtime around 10am board time. Do not be alarmed!
The annual Delurking thread is now open! (Late, oops, so we'll leave it open a bit longer than normal.) Come out and play, lurkers, the water's fine!

If anyone wants an Elf on the Shelf figure, send me a message at my profile address, and I'll send it to you. I think the one we have is supposed to be a girl.
