Researchers Make Chemical Warfare Protective Nanofibers out of Deck Sealer

Wish they (physorg writers) would put a little more time into FACTS and links and less time doing the dumb it down so the 8 year olds can read it…

I’d like more information on this but the only hint of where this info came from (no links as usual) is the second paragraph which states that: “Ramkumar’s findings are featured in the Sept. 5 edition of the Journal of Applied Polymer Science. ” so I guess I will see if that is online and go from there.

The Blog | Walter C. Uhler: Crackpot Christianity: Part Two | The Huffington Post

Whole lotta info here. Haven’t seen the POS Darwin’s Deadly Legacy and don’t want to after reading this piece. I’ve been convinced for several years that (figurehead) Bush and (handlers) crew have been and are trying to bring about a Christian controlled US of A so that they can go out and kill all of the infidels. And line their own pockets in the process. More fuel, bigger fire.

Go, read, get more pissed off…

Technorati Blog Info: TechnoPrimitive

Get the feeling I am doing something wrong. Technorati seems to think that my last post was either 41 or 44 days ago. I have signed up and done the ping thing, even put the ping url in the setup on wordpress but still no go. Maybe it takes a while to filter in. But with the number of posts I have made in the last 41/44 days I’d a thought that they would have showed up by now… 🙁

Linux.com | Minimalist tools for writers

Suggests vi, the app I love to hate. As for emacs, I have never had any luck with getting my unwiilling brain to wrap around the command structure and thus never used it more than a day or two at a time. Sorry RMS.

Fairly good article. Most writers aren’t gonna want to take the weeks that it takes to learn Vi though. Though gVim is usable it still has weird hangups or did the last time I tried it. My fallback is Kedit, which is part of the KDE desktop package. It just works… 😉

Les Stroud – TV

Never seen any of his stuff but from reading the site he has some major balls. Though I note in his forum that he is currently looking for an EMT for the upcoming season. 😉

Google continues on their path to world domination(or is it just MicroSloth domination) with the addition of new web apps.

Engineers forge greener path to iron production

Hate to tell them but to the best of my knowlege molten iron is not magnetic. Therefore unless I am missing something the lead photo is mislabeled. About par for the course for the ad mad folks at physorg…

The concept of using molten oxide electrolysis to produce iron is very interesting, especially as it doen’t produce carbon as a byproduct. Cudos to MIT for this groundbreaking work.

The Pikasso 42-String Guitar Even Intimidates Jimmy Page – Gizmodo

I’m not real sure what to say here. This thing looks weird but then again it really looks weird. And with 4 necks is really different to say the least… 😉
