Minute Tech 022: What is glass?

Dale Chihuly's glass sculpture is incredibly beautiful; when juxtaposed with natural plantings, or as natural as you can get in an oversized terrarium, they seek to mimic CBLF's with SiBLF's:

the outline for todays show:
- Space shuttle set for daytime landing; Chinese lunar orbiter;
- What is glass?

Minute Tech 009: What is Colonial Williamsburg?

There is not surprisingly far more about a well-reconstructed educational historic site such as Colonial Williamsburg than one short podcast can introduce you to...but please take a few minutes to see what this wee corner of America's history can do for you, through:

- the emergence of tea in European (and American) society;
- What is Colonial Williamsburg?
- printing pamphlets - the original podcast.

How can we push ourselves forward in thinking about technology without thinking about how our forebears conceived their levels of technology? I find it fascinating to look back at these times of hardship...and how easy they made life appear.
