“With more ways to make Android your own, Android Nougat is our sweetest release yet. ” – My Comments : For those of you with supported devices, “Nougat” should be rolling out to you soon. Since Ulana and I have Nexus devices, that should be soon (woo hoo!) :-). The link goes over all of the new features, and here’s a link to The Verge’s review: [http://ift.tt/2bbS2kl].

“August 2016 marks the 30th anniversary of Lionel Richie’s album “Dancing On the Ceiling” and to celebrate here’s a nostalgia overload of 80 movie dance scene… ” – My Comments : Awesome.

“Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet. ” – My Comments : I miss Chris Farley.

“Read my new book! http://ift.tt/2a0ULhJ Pinball Marble Run https://youtu.be/Zm572Lp0u3Y Ride along on the Hot Wheels car as it travels through… ” – My Comments : Fun! 🙂

“Ride along on the Hot Wheels car as it travels through 8 different track sections all connected by teleporting tunnels. From the backyard to the big hill to the pool and back, this track’s got it all.

Each section worked on its own from tunnel to tunnel. The cart is powered entirely by gravity at all times.

In total there are 11 cuts in the video, 7 between locations and 4 for slow motion footage. The jump section and the loop section were filmed twice, once in 30 fps and again in 120 fps, and the final video cuts from the normal speed footage to the slow motion footage for the duration of both the jump and the loop.”

“NASA just announced that any published research funded by the space agency will now be available at no cost, launching a new public web portal that anybody can access. ” – My Comments : Awesome! Lots of older NASA and NACA papers were already freely available, something that has proven very useful at work. Hopefully this archive will prove just as useful…
