Brainbow
Brainbow
  • Cell stains create a ‘brainbow’
  • A round of applause goes to Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) for introducing the Strategies to Address Antimicrobial Resistance Act to the Senate. I knew there had to be some reason for having a government.
  • The Ipod “Nano” is false advertising (and a crappy product). The Single carbon nanotube radio is functional and the size of a human hair. Bite me Macintosh Art-Sissies!
  • DIY! A group in India is making $4 Microscopes out of Bamboo.
  • In other nanotechnology news, wanna store 1,000 copies of War and Peace on the head of a pin? Try using Bacteria.
  • Time to start genetically engineering kitty kitties!!! The Domestic cat genome’s been sequenced. I want one opposable thumbs like the Hemmingway Cats!
  • Here’s an entertaining cartoon with catchy music about our environmentally unsustainable Funeral Industry. Funny how we spend billions on comforting dead people we didn’t have time for in life.
  • Ohhh… Ahhh… Check out the Beautiful Planetary Maps. I guess that’s two reasons for having a government.

  • Who watches the watchers? We do, and the PistolCam, currently in testing for the Police, will benefit both law enforcement and citizens.
  • Speaking of death. A moment of silence please for Washoe the Chimpanzee, and first animal to learn human language, who has died at 42 of natural causes.
  • Hyurk! Hyurk! Hyruk! Pumpkin Pi

    My Faith in Ira Flatow has Not Improved

    Thursday, November 1st, 2007

    Ira Flatow responded to my friend’s request on Facebook (still denied), after I wrote to him back in September explaining my obsession with collecting Science exponents on social networking sites and singing their praises when they add me.

    This was his response:

    Ira Flatow Responds to My Friend Request

    To Ira’s credit, he did actually click the link to my blog. To Ira’s discredit, he didn’t flame me for flaming him… or maybe that’s to his credit, like… I dunno… Being a bigger person than me or something.

    Whatever. My blog isn’t an after-@#$%ing-school special. No matter how cool Ira is for his books and radio and networking with real scientists, he still sucks just a little bit for not adding me. : P
