What happens in this secret lab?

The idea of this theme is to keep things simple and efficient, but it does have some of its own secrets to make super cool.

Clicking (info) on the top right of any page reveals the blog description and the search. Thanks to my homie Jacob Bijani for writing the script.
Any time you’re at a post’s permalink or viewing the results of a search, the description on top will slide out.
The chats are fun because rolling over them makes it a little easier to read. Yeah I thought that was really fun.

My name is Peter Vidani, and you can email me for any reason at mail@petervidani.com. If you want to follow this tumblr, I’ll post any updates here.

A Life More Colorful:

science:

Humans have three kinds of color receptors in our eyes. If only two kinds are working properly, the result is color blindness. Some animals — reptiles and birds among them — are speculated to have four: they’re tetrachromats, and can detect color in the ultraviolet range, with wavelengths too short for humans to see. But some humans may also be tetrachromats.

Due to genetics, some women may be born with two kinds of red receptors, making them tetrachromat. They won’t see wavelengths we don’t, but if the brain can accomodate the fourth stream of data from the eye, they may be able to distinguish colors within the spectrum we do see far better than any of us. To a true tetrachromat, we may all be as the colorblind are to trichromats.

Here was the final route. 3,129 miles completed in about 5½ days, averaging about 10½ hours a day and loving every second of it. I wasn’t bored once and I could have done it with my phone turned off. I have no idea where I’ll be next summer but I’ll be sure to take the long way there.
