This Saturday the Smithsonian Magazine is sponsoring “Museum Day,” a nationwide event where participating museums offer free admission for one day. There are quite a few participating locations in the Los Angeles Area, including the California Science Museum. Also participating is perhaps my most favorite museum, The California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Be sure to check out this event. Fill out the form on the website for your free admission card.

Needless to say, there are tons of interesting infographics out there that can help you visualize information in a quick and entertaining way.

Kobalt Six Inch Caliper
Yesterday, while at the hardware store, I bought a small Caliper. I have been needing one to make building my models easier.
These things are pretty cool. Mine measures down to the thousandth of an inch, enough to register the thickness of a piece of paper. And because of the straight edged tines, it can measure the diameter of round objects easily. It came from Lowes for roughly 30 dollars.
