Welcome to Nerdville

Today I learned…

• There is a whole field of study regarding the principles of friction, lubrication, and wear, and it is called tribology. The name derives from the Greek “tribo” meaning “to rub” and “logos” meaning “principle or logic.” How cool is that?
• The music video for the Red Hot Chili Peppers song “Can’t Stop” was said to have been inspired by the “one-minute sculptures” of Austrian artist Erwin Wurm. Apparently he just grabbed things (and people) and made sculptures in the moment. That was his vision.
