"Boing Boing Video proudly debuts "Meet The Elements," a new animated music video from They Might Be Giants. This animated, upbeat ode to the periodic table of elements and how they form our world, appears on the new TMBG kids' album "Here Comes Science." Video directed by Feel Good Anyway." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

cool, going to look for the rest of the album, only heard this song so far. would be nice if students and teachers could use more free internet resources, glad they got access to interesting media like this in the end :) - Mike Chelen

"A maker sent this in, nice table!" - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

That is great - Glen Mistletoe

"The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit organization with the mission of providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere. We have 800+ videos on YouTube covering everything from basic arithmetic and algebra to differential equations, physics, and finance which have been recorded by Salman Khan. He has also developed a free, adaptive math program available here. To keep abreast of new videos as we add them, subscribe to the Khan Academy channel on YouTube. The entire video library is shown below. Just click on a category or video title to start learning from the Khan Academy! " - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!!!! (Oh come on, someone had to do it.) - Bill Hooker

Bill: haha, if they ever make a self-promotional video, it must include that! - Mike Chelen

"This article reviews chemistry related content in Second Life, a popular virtual world. Examples include the construction of 3D molecules, spectroscopy, data visualization, networking, conferences, games and other educational resources." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

joerg: check out drexel island http://slurl.com/secondl... to see some of the chem stuff and nature island http://slurl.com/secondl... had some of the sculpted proteins last time i was there - Mike Chelen

"NMRShiftDB is a NMR database (web database) for organic structures and their nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectra. It allows for spectrum prediction (13C, 1H and other nuclei) as well as for searching spectra, structures and other properties. Last not least, it features peer-reviewed submission of datasets by its users. The NMRShiftDB software is open source, the data is published under an open content license. Please consult the documentation for more detailed information." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

having fun playing with the SPARQL queries from http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2009... and the endpoint http://pele.farmbio.uu.se/nmrshif... is helpful to know about - Mike Chelen

"Using JavaScript and/or Greasemonkey, it's possible to add a lot of value to existing web pages. JavaScript is a scripting language that runs in a web browser and which can alter the html of the web page you're viewing (for example). This means that information from other web pages, or from a web service, can be added to a particular web page. Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that can run a Javascript program automatically on pages that you visit. It also contains additional JavaScript functions for common tasks. In the examples below, we show how it is possible to identify PDB codes contained in the text of normal web pages and to add a link beside each PDB code that displays the protein structure in Jmol. A more sophisticated example identifies DOIs on a page, looks them up on Chemical Blogspace, and adds a link if there are any blogs that discuss that paper." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

We havent' done much with it recently... I should make some now scripts... - Egon Willighagen

"Recently, virtual worlds 3D such as Second Life have presented new opportunities and challenges for the representation of chemical data. What is the potential of such a medium in education and communicating with the chemistry community?" - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"The user can explore a wide variety of circumstances, including initial concentrations of the participants, rate constants, and variations on the catalytic mechanism, and witness the effects these combinations of parameters have on the time evolution of the participates. Most notably, both the results obtained via the Michaelis-Menten steady state approximation (doted lines), and the results obtained via numeric integration (solid lines) are provided. This allows the user to get firsthand experience in which combinations of parameters lead to a departure of the approximate solution from the numeric solution, thus highlighting the circumstances in which Michaelis-Menten analysis is or is not appropriate." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet
