Curious about the behaviour of water in microgravity, ISS astronauts Steve Swanson, Reid Wiseman, and Alexander Gerst suspend a GoPro camera inside a bubble.
It’s all about surface tension, apparently.
If you have the appropriate eyewear, you can also watch it in 3D.

A comprehensive varietal guide by Pop Chart Lab, available as a 100 x 70cm print. To wit:
A genealogical investigation into the connections between every major variety of wine, this family tree of grapes decants and demystifies the ancestry of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Riesling and many, many more. Whether you’re an inveterate viticulturalist or an armchair oenophile, this color-coded chart will help fill in the blancs, pinpointing countries of origin and tracing the long and winding roads between hundreds of varieties of vino.
No Bucky, sadly.

Web Summit founder Paddy Cosgrave addresses wi fi concerns at his tech event and has a ‘go’ at the ‘old dudes’ of the Royal Dublin Society (established 1820) that run the venue and “hold this country back”.

Meanwhile…
“Gavin Thursday; writes
Re; the [Web] summit [wi fi] outage. The RDS can handle up to 20,00 devices but with 20,000 people attending the summit and many of them carrying at least two devices the venue would need to have capacity for 50,000+ devices. Wouldn’t this have been known in advance though?
Anyone?

Good luck with that, muckers.
Joan Burton and Enda Kenny this morning at a jobs press conference in government buildings
Tánaiste Joan Burton has not confirmed the remarks she made earlier this week that a family of four adults would pay less than €200 a year in water charges.
Instead, she said in the Dáil her objective and that of the Government was to have a charging regime that is “affordable and where there is clarity and where there is certainty in relation to the pricing structure”.
Wait for it…
Ms Burton pointed to the fundraising dinner that party leader Gerry Adams would attend tonight in New York at $500 (€403) a head. She said that was much more than what an ordinary family would pay for water charges in a year.
Never fails.
