Free Amazon Prime for students

[theonlytime.livejournal.com]

Amazon is currently giving free 1 year memberships to Amazon Prime (free 2 day shipping, $3.99 overnight shipping) to current students with a .edu email address: http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info

I'm not sure how long they're offering this (it doesn't say on the site). Just thought i'd give fellow students the heads up on this in case you haven't heard about it yet. This is going to save me a ton on shipping textbooks this year!

Flying like a peregrine.

( Video behind cut! )

Amazing footage of bird flight, from a small camera attached to the back of a peregrine and a goshawk. The peregrine allows us to see what it must've been like for Jake, and the goshawk footage is seriously mindblowing/goosebump-inducing and whanot.

Kind of makes me think that if an Animorphs movie is ever made, techniques like this could be used to gather some footage and put across what it might 'feel like' to be said animal. But either way, amazing stuff.
