In summary, the conversation revolves around a college student pursuing a degree in physics and their website where they share simulations related to physics. The simulations, while useful for their research, are not engaging enough for the general public. They are looking for ideas on how to make their website more interesting and suggestions such as using vpython to create interactive graphics and starting a physics blog are given.

I'm a college student pursuing a degree in physics, with an interest in computational physics. I got a website where I figured I'd make simulations and publish them so that those with an interest in physics could play around with them and learn a bit.

Unfortunately, my simulations aren't quite as exciting as I expected. I've made two simulations -- one simulating the n-body problem, and one simulating a Bose-Einstein Condensate. They're useful for my research, but the general public wouldn't be interested in seeing a big text file full of coordinates...

Now, I'm stuck with a website which I'm not currently using. Since I've already paid for hosting, domain name, etc. I'm trying to think of ideas of what to put on my website -- but I'm not sure what.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do with my website? Have you ever said to yourself, "I wish there was a physics-related website about _____?"

Any ideas are welcome! Thanks :smile:.

Use http://www.vpython.org to turn those coordinates into interactive 3D graphics.
Check out the http://www.vpython.org/contributed.html page :wink:

You could make it a personal academic/physics blog until you finally decide what to do with it. Use it to think out loud.

Thanks everyone for the ideas :). I like the blogging idea... in the meantime, I'll try to make my simulations more "interesting".
