Tracker is a free video analysis and modeling tool built on the Open Source Physics (OSP) Java framework. It is designed to be used in introductory college physics labs and lectures. Features include: 1. Object tracking with position, velocity and acceleration overlays and data. 2. Video modeling with dynamic particle overlays and data. 3. Center of mass tracking with overlays and data. 4. Rotational motion data includes theta, omega and alpha. 5. Interactive graphical vectors and vector sums. 6. Line profiles for RGB analysis of spectra and interference at any angle 7. RGB regions for time analysis of RGB data 8. Flexible video calibration options. 9. Multiple reference frame views of collisions and other motions. 10. Video filters, including brightness/contrast, ghost trails, and deinterlacing. 11. User-defined constants and variables for plotting and analysis. 12. Data analysis tool with powerful automatic and manual curve fitting. 13. Full undo/redo with multiple steps. 14. Video converter for converting edited/filtered videos to mov, gif, jpg or png formats 15. Video exporter tool for recording videos with track overlays. 16. Copy and print images of any view for use in labs and other documents. 17. Paste web or other images directly into Tracker for analysis, save if desired. 18. Helpful hints for new and occasional users. 19. Drag-n-drop trk and video files to open.

A genre comprised of books that are mainly written by women for women. The books range from having main characters in their early 20's to their late 60's. There is usually a personal, light, and humorous tone to the books. Sometimes they are written in first-person narrative; other time they are written from multiple viewpoints. The plots usually consist of women experiencing usual life issues, such as love, marriage, dating, relationships, friendships, roommates, corporate environments, weight issues, addiction, and much more.

Ficly is about creativity. When I was originally thinking about this idea, I was looking for something creative I could do for the last fifteen minutes of my lunch break before I jumped back into coding and writing documentation. I'd originally had an idea for a much larger site for serious fiction, but realized that most people don't have the time to write serious fiction. But, everyone can carve out fifteen minutes to either continue a story someone else has started, or start something of their own - something simple - two, maybe three paragraphs of a character, a plot or even just a place. That's the premise. We impose a limit of 1,024 characters because we think constraints are good. They make you choose your words more carefully. They also make it less daunting than starting at a never-ending blank screen in a word processor. All you have to do is write one kilobyte of something - something fictional. That's all.
