Today I Learned

Indeed.

Grant Imahara, of Mythbusters fame, had an article about various robots he designed. The Energizer Bunny was one, and for PR and truth in advertising purposes it had to actually run on consumer-grade batteries, which aren't ideal for the power needs of robots.

Today I learned of grid waves.

I saw this pic over at BendBox with the filename 'grid waves off French coast'. Actually this pic shows what Wikipedia calls a cross swell, or Cross Sea, at Ile De Re.

It's weird, whatever it is:

Today I learned that Denzel Washington has a movie coming out in September...'The Equalizer'. Remember the tv show from the eighties, starring Edward Woodward? This is a remake of that. I loved the tv show. I really like Denzel Washington.

The trailer looks good. It looks real good.

Sorry for the Russian movie review girl at the end, it's the best version of the trailer I could find.
