9-11 Resources

The Resource Shelf is a wonderful site. They even have an enewsletter, which is responsible for a number of the posts you see listed in this blog. This particular post is a collection of resources (articles, photos, videos, etc.) about the 9-11 tragedy. Since the Resource Shelf has these items listed already, it's just a bit easier to send you to their site for the posts. Also it gives you another great source of reference resources. If you are a researcher, or someone who just likes to have facts at your fingertips, I strongly recommend regular visits to the Resource Shelf.

Things to Come that Came

What most folks refer to as science fiction is sometimes called speculative fiction. Perhaps that sounds like word games to you.

To see the documentation for this visit this post in RealTechNews. There is a list and posting of over 650 inventions that came to us from science fiction.
