Long weekend... ;)

What a weekend for Anderson Silva and the Browns. Anyway, quite the bender for me too.
Back to what matters most...
Looks like hydrogen fuel cells might come around quicker than thought, with researchers from the University of Minnesota found a way to hold a shitload of hydrogen safely in carbon nanotubes. This breakthrough alone combined with plug in electric could have our vehicles off oil.
It's been known that Shewanella can produce electricity, but now they know how and want to "fine tune" it. This hit's on a big point, which is that we are now at the point where minor tweaking of bacteria is an accepted fact, and i guarantee you will see this daily within a year or two.
Going from a concept to a working model doesn't take too long nowadays, but to predict how much production you need ahead of time can make or break even the best product. Now it appears you'll be able to do that easy with a lego like system. This will just get things in our hands faster, which i like.
Don't be afraid, but the first computer with conciousness will be turned on within 5 years. wonder what it'll say..
81 mg aspirin and resveratrol are both pills you should take everyday, add nutrastem to that. Made by neuroscientists, it helps create stem cells and neurons. they have a patent on the blend, so if your healthy enough wait for that to run out to save some money..
Hey hey, tell your friends about my blog and subscribe, cause 5 minutes a day will have ya thinking....

adding to life's toolbox, Anti-AIDS gene

BIG NEWS FROM VENTER
Craig Venter is my co-pilot. I need that t-shirt now that he has announced that he created synthetic chromosomes to rev up the amount of octane a CO2 producing organism can create. He says that within 18 months they will be able to sell the fuel, and that his modest goal is to replace all oil... pretty modest. This is great news because it USES a greenhouse gas to make a green fuel! wow, no longer content with solving one problem at a time, are you? In fact he didn't just kill to birds with one stone, but he did it by making new chromosomes that nature doesn't use. This is the first time to my knowledge that someone has done that. and since his final goal is to create a whole synthetic organism, i don't see him quitting any time soon. This dude is as close to a god as I have ever seen.
Hard to top that, but it appears now that humans already have a gene that can block HIV and stop AIDS in it's tracks. activating the gene could be a problem, but a quick googlenews of HIV would show that they are looking up a lot of avenues, and i would even go on the record on saying that i think that the first "cure" for a virus will come in the next three years.
Let me finish by adding that researchers have found that the best cure for neck pain is a nice rub from your loved one. After as far as we have come technologically, it's nice to know that sometimes the best thing is just to spend some quality time with the ones you love....
so lets go do that tonight....
have a good night!
