Tetris Desk Lamp will fit just about anywhere
When you want a source of illumination for your desk, you don’t just want another fluorescent light bulb casting a garish light onto your work. That is both boring and stifling for your creativity. That’s why you should look into something like the Tetris Desk Lamp (warning, PDF), as it is both wonderfully colorful, and doesn’t function like any other type of lamp.
This officially licensed product uses the inspiration from the game to provide you with light. Each individual tetrimino (yes, that’s what they’re actually called) will light up if and when it is stacked upon another already lit one. You can arrange these however you would like, which also means you can control how much or little light you would like at any given time. There is no word on how these things are powered just yet, but I would assume that there are batteries involved. If you would like one, have about $50 at the ready for this September when they come onto the market.

About Flu Vaccines and Kids
The flu can be serious for all of us, but it is most dangerous for certain groups of people. Among these groups of people at high risk for flu complications are young children, particularly those under the age of 2. Young children have weaker immune systems than older kids and adults, making them more likely to suffer from serious symptoms and to develop complications or be hospitalized when they get the flu.
When your little one gets the flu, it can be scary and concerning as a parent. Find out what to expect and what to do if your child gets sick with influenza.
The best way to protect your child from getting the flu is to get them vaccinated. I know the last thing you want to do is subject your child to another vaccine, but one shot (or nasal spray) is better than a week or more of serious illness. Make sure you know the facts about the flu vaccine and how it could help your child before you decide to skip it.
If you still aren't sure if flu vaccines are right for your children, talk to your child's health care provider, or visit the CDC's web page to get more answers and information.

It's All About the Heat: Cooking the Perfect Turkey
It's the time of the year where people around America begin their annual ritual of applied thermodynamics: cooking the Thanksgiving turkey!
Fortunately, molecular gastronomists (i.e. the chef version of mad scientists) have explored ways to understand the science of how to properly cook one of these birds, and some of that information is gathered together in our Turkey Physics article. Check it out to find some suggestions about how to get the entire bird cooked to the proper temperature.
