Were you a fan of the Mentos and Diet Coke fountains that EepyBird created? If so, you might tune in to "Samurai Girl" tonight (7pm, ABC) to see EepyBird's experiments with more than 250,000 sticky notes. You can also check out an extended version of the video, complete with how-tos, at EepyBird.com.
Here's a sneak peek, but definitely check the EepyBird site tonight for more.

Origami and scienceWe've blogged about the new science TV show, Wired Science here before. They covered lots of interesting angles for their first show last night. Both me and a friend were most intrigued by Robert Lang's work, mixing the art of origami with science problems. He looks at how computers mixed with the art of origami can help figure out how to pack airbags and even space telescopes more efficiently. I'm a bit of an origami nut but then I am a science nerd also, so you can see why I found his site pretty fun.
We've been thinking about different ways that the resurgent craft movement has links to science (trust me there are tons). So while doing some origami this weekend I was psyched to find this cool math resource on how to fold a square into thirds, fifths, and all those other hard to eyeball fractions.
