Americans have recently been questioning themselves deeply on subjects like imperialism, religion, taxation, and prohibition. All the while, oil is gushing, but in all the wrong places.  Perhaps it’s addictive, or something (don’t look at me, smarts the likes of a world leader are needed to figure these things out). At the same time of [...]

It might have just started as a fun idea at Google HQ for a lazy Saturday, but the decision to run a masthead showing a UFO “abducting” one of the letters in Google has set-off heaps of speculation.  Will September 5th now be unversally proclaimed Unexplained Mystery day thanks to Google’s masthead?

The wireless world — and the electric cars that are expected sooner than later — arrive with one major drawback: long charge times. There have been battery revolutions in the recent past.  While growing up with digital technology, NiMH and Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries began allowing my devices to run for longer than it took [...]

This simple calculation means there would be huge numbers capable of supporting life. “Not only are they probably habitable but they probably are also going [...]

Today, we may (certainly) not be able to say that we muster adequate stewardship of our planet. Perhaps 2009 will be the year that we all, at the least, get to say it’s about time. BlackLight Power has raised $60 million in funding and the company is in discussions with utilities to use its equipment, [...]

There seems to be a disappointing lack of knowledge and interest in fusion technology — at any temperature. While the cold fusion research of Pons and Fleishman remains controversial and even embarassing in the eyes of the media, work continues on this technology.  In fact, Italian and Japanese scientists just demonstrated successful tests which produced [...]

It appeared to be a “simple” drunken accident: a car came into the driveway of my appartment building, slowed down, and then rammed over a big concrete parking block and smashed out the supports for my deck… While I was on it. If I wasn’t in the midst of posting about the today’s UK government [...]
