> Jon Larsen, a Norwegian jazz musician and creator of Project Stardust, was able to show that it is possible to find micrometeorites in more populated areas. In a study published in January 2017 in the journal Geology, he and his colleagues catalogued more than 500 lustrous micrometeorites (and counting), all recovered from rooftops in urban areas.

Here's a video of it being demonstrated for a Guardian journalist in Central Park: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/video/2015/may/12/test...

Sort of - YouTube started out as a Hot or Not with video.

"Chad and Steve agree that Karim deserves credit for the early idea that became, in Steve's words, "the original goal that we were working toward in the very beginning": a video version of HOTorNOT.com"

Great resource. I'm about to use Sass again after a hiatus of ~3yrs. Reading through this has been a great refresher on core principles and best practices.

Same here. New tab > open home page > scan my iGoogle feeds has been a very frequent and almost automatic habit of mine for years. When it redirected me to a search page it took a good second or two for me to realise what was going on.

That might be so. But not everyone uses GitHub, y'know?

Here's a very similar thing from nearly 20 years ago. I remember watching this as a kid and it blew my mind. Distinctly remember the dog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIpmUi8HI1k

I'm no expert but it strikes me that the shadowless full-light exposures that he talks about are the real challenge here and maybe that sets it apart from other popular examples.

For ref, the signup email landed in my gmail spam folder. For spam-like content according to the notice.

+1 on star ratings since I just forgot to select one for a site and feel bad since I rather liked it.

Failing that, how about defaulting the rating to 3 star so at least if you do forget you don't end up giving the lowest rating possible?

Enjoying the whole process so far though, nice job.
