<p>A friend sent me the following videos that I found beautiful from a math & physics perspective.</p><a href="https://blog.lojic.com/2020/12/17/computing-pi-with-colliding-blocks.html?utm_source=amazing&utm_medium=Atom"><em>More…</em></a>Kwajalein Atollurn:https-blog-lojic-com:-2007-05-30-kwajalein-atoll-html2007-05-30T16:00:00Z2007-05-30T16:00:00ZBrian Adkins

<p>When I worked at CompuServe around 1993, I saw a picture of Kwajalein Island on Alisa DeSisto’s cubicle wall. As it turns out, she was stationed there for a year or two. I was fascinated by the concept of people actually living on such a tiny island (about twice as long as the airport runway!) in the Pacific Ocean many hundreds of miles from any decent size chunk of land. Is this place cool, or what?</p>
