[Understanding Networks] Project Database Documentation

sample portfolio page
>Goal: Increase documentation and adding to the projects database by providing value to the process. Most people don’t have time to make a portfolio page, and this will allow them to easily create one as they go instead of at the last minute. Value and incentive are increased to both document and use the floorsquare API because using it may increase your exposure to classmates, faculty and the public. We also wanted to have the ability to browse and search old projects in the database through a more comprehensive projects gallery to supplement the one on the main page.

Science, media, art, movies, politics, and what else I find interesting tweeting and reading on the internet. And ITP.
Nasa's Image of the Day
The Engine Burns Blue
This image shows a cutting-edge solar-electric propulsion thruster in development at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., that uses xenon ions for propulsion. An earlier version of this solar-electric propulsion engine has been flying on NASA's Dawn mission to the asteroid belt. This engine is being considered as part of the Asteroid Initiative, a proposal to robotically capture a small near-Earth asteroid and redirect it safely to a stable orbit in the Earth-moon system where astronauts can visit and explore it. This image was taken through a porthole in a vacuum chamber at JPL where the ion engine is being tested. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
