Some clarification on a subject that’s on a lot of our minds, via Good Environment: This incredible satellite video from NOAA shows all of the vortexes throughout April as red dots. Watch the historically unprecedented month unfold: For any concerned and conscientious soul, it’s hard to mentally and emotionally put the pieces together of these connected, but distinct, disasters. There’s the climate change question, of course, which has been answered unsatisfyingly dozens of times already. Short answer: we don’t really know. It’s complicated. Two essential reads on this subject are Andrew Freedman’s take on the Capitol Weather Gang blog , and Joe Romm’s on ClimateProgress , in which he concludes: When discussing extreme weather and climate, tornadoes should not be conflated with the other extreme weather events for which the connection is considerably more straightforward and better documented , including deluges, droughts, and heat waves. Just because the tornado-warming link is more tenuous doesn’t mean that the subject of global warming should be avoided entirely when talking about tornadoes. In other words, it’d be irresponsible to make a straightforward connection between tornadoes and climate change. But it’d also be irresponsible not to discuss the potential for a connection and to work to better understand that potential.

Usually when we describe Lindsay Lohan as a piece of work, we don’t mean an actual work of art. And unless “work of art” suddenly means “super-long, wordless Calvin Klein commercial,” we still don’t! Lindsay Lohan’s Richard Phillips film has the actress looking particularly swan-like in the wordless 98-second film project.

Jealous of your Nexus S-owning friends and their fancy NFC chips after yesterday’s Google Wallet announcement? Well tech tinkerer Joe Desbonnet has whipped up what he dubs “poor man’s NFC” using an Arduino , some magnet wire, and any compass-equipped Android smartphone (which is almost all of them). By placing a coil of wire on the phone and connecting it to the DIYer’s favorite microcontroller, Desbonnet was able to send data, albeit very slowly, to his HTC Desire running a special app to decode the signals. Granted, you’re probably not going to see American Eagle mod their point of sale systems to talk to your phone’s magnetometer, but it’s still a neat trick. In fact, we’d break out our Arduino right now to give it a try, but our secret lair is strangely devoid of enameled copper wire. Check out the source link for instructions, and don’t miss the video after the break.
