It’s about the pictures of the first three milliseconds of a nuclear explosion, taken by world famous Harold Edgerton.
Here is the article, and if you want, you can find out more about this pictures here.

Hi everybody! Sorry for the lack of articles in the last few weeks but I have some studying to do for university, I guess you can understand why I can’t post every day anymore. Thanks, for the understanding.
Ok, let’s start with the article. UEFA Euro 2008 is well on it’s way, it started just a week ago and my country is doing very well. It’s Croatia, by the way. You know, the one they call “giant slayer”. It’s good to be Croat these days and we are all hyped with the championship and all so I thought it would be good to use that in my next article. What’s that have to do with science fiction, you ask? Well, it does. Today, I wanna talk about sports - in the future. That’s right.

UFO and Evolution: Is There a Connection?
Image by apesara
Have you seen any flying saucers lately? Many people think they have. Even now, reports of mysterious sightings are circulating in the press and on Internet forums.
The modern UFO boom began in June 1947 when a businessman named Kenneth Arnold reported that while piloting a private plane he had seen nine saucer-shaped objects flying over Mount Rainier in Washington. Later that years there were rumors of a flying saucer crash in Roswell, New Mexico. According to a popular but false conspiracy theory, US Air Force obtained the corpse of a saucer pilot but covered up the discovery.

Three generations of cute little (and not so little) robots this guy calls “Swashbot”. You can check the rest of his videos on his Youtube account.

Cultured meat
This is a cross-post from The biology in Science Fiction by Peggy Kolm.
The aristocrat of Dorm Ten was Herrera. After ten years with Chlorella he had worked his way up Đ topographically it was down Đ to Master Slicer. He worked in the great, cool vault underground, where Chicken Little grew and was cropped by him and other artisans. He swung a sort of two-handed sword that carved off great slabs of the tissue, leaving it to the lesser packers and trimmers and their faceless helpers to weigh it, shape it, freeze it, cook it, flavor it, package it, and ship it off to the area on quota for the day.
He had more than a production job. He was a safety valve. Chicken Little grew and grew, as she had been growing for decades. Since she had started as a lump of heart tissue, she didn’t know any better than to grow up against a foreign body and surround it. She didn’t know any better than to grow and fill her concrete vault and keep growing, compressing her cells and rupturing them. As long as she got nutrient, she grew. Herrera saw to it that she grew round and lump, that no tissue got old and tough before it was sliced, that one side was not neglected for the other.
~The Space Merchants, Frederik Pohl & CM Kornbluth, 1952
