Science
LHC Webcam
With all my fretting over the state of WaMu—something the PI and Times finally deigned to notice in today’s papers, after WaMu’s bonds were dropped to junk status—it was time to find something enjoyable.
When my sister used to live in Naperville, one of my treats was to visit the FermiLabs collider. I can’t afford to travel to Europe right now, but found a decent webcam of the Large Hadron Collider.

Thanks for scaring the crap out of me for 1.5sec.

Posted by TheTruthHurts | September 16, 2008 11:11 AMbravo.
Posted by manbaby | September 16, 2008 11:15 AMCool web cam!
You might try actually READING the Times and P-I, though. They've been covering the WaMu thing for weeks now.

Posted by RonK, Seattle | September 16, 2008 11:20 AMYes, Fermilab is very cool. I toured the grounds, including the accelerator, when I was a wee lass, and seeing all the LHC pictures reminded me of how cool I thought it was back then. Plus, it's a wildlife preserve. Basically, it's heaven for a science geek.

Posted by Yeeks! | September 16, 2008 12:56 PMWhy don't you visit LIGO at Handford? They have free monthly tours, you can indulge your physics geek (though an observatory isn't nearly as neat as a collider), and actually touch a Weber bar....
Posted by poettree | September 16, 2008 1:25 PMI sure thought I was lucky to have clicked on the link just in time to see some action.
Then the luck suddenly turned on me.
