I'm Tal Atlas. I'm currently finishing up my masters in microelectronic materials after getting a Physics BS at Colorado School of Mines. I'm a hobbyist photographer and Rails programmer. This is a collection of random things I find intresting from across the web.

How could you choose avoiding a little pain over understanding a magic lightning machine?
One of my favorite of all time.
I really love when Randall Monroe goes to engineering/physics.
Sure, we could stop dictators and pandemics, but we could also make the signs on every damn diagram make sense.
LMAO xkcd:
Correlation doesn’t imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing ‘look over there’.
Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.

We need a special holiday to honor the countless kind souls with unsecured networks named ‘linksys’.
Why you shouldn’t do an image post of xkcd
Today’s XKCD is a perfect example of why you shouldnt do an image post of XKCD comics. The ALT text is actually funnier then the comic itself.
