Before I started this blog, I did a number of Google and Yahoo searches for Science in South Dakota, etc and found nothing except an out-of-state based system which has sites in "for" every state apparently with the same "science" on all of them (and also perhaps all the same ads). Anyway, tonight I did another search and found that SDPB in cooperation with NOVA has a Science Cafe as well.
Let me assure you and them that we have no connection and until tonight, I was not aware that the site following even existed. Check SDPB Science Cafe South Dakota anyway. You may find something there nearly as interesting as the stuff here. Cara Hetland is apparently getting paid to moderate the SDPB Science Cafe (with a diacritical mark perhaps) .
SDPB-TV is also carrying the MAKE TV program on their CREATE channel... I think. It comes from Makezine and Twin Cities TV. Make projects convert regular stuff into oddball stuff that might explode, catch fire, play music or fly on a kite to take pictures, shoot hotdogs at your neighbor's dog, etc. Sort of on the edge of science applied in entertaining, sometimes naughty, and sometimes useful ways. And, SDPB-TV has the NOVA and Scientific American programs on regularly.
All related to science and technology, but not quite in the way I hope this site will be.
