Science Archive* dodoskido: Windows into Microsoft *

Looking for other categories? No? Wanna see the latest on dodoskido?

I can't wait to see this. One of the rare bits of the Internet that are worthy of being called "Internet-scale".

So each day, Hongyun brews me a nalgene full of tea and I take along a small thermos filled with some instant coffee to enhance my brain's boot sequence on the train ride to work. Now, that's a lot of caffeine mind you...about 48 ounces of caffeinated liquid...so I usually don't drink it all. What to do with it?

Pour it on my office plant of course!

* Inhalable Insulin *

Pah-fizer and Pfriends are working hard on making the needles go away. Being a type 2 diabetic myself, I'm really glad to see this sort of advance in medicine. While I am currently not on the insulin horse or taking any sort of medication to regulate my blood sugar (it's called Splenda), it's good to know that if ever I do need to take insulin there will be minimal needles involved.

Kudos for Pfizer for Pfiguring this one out (buy their stock...they're going to sell a LOT of this stuff)

* 20 Hour Laptop Battery *

Very very cool breakthrough in power technology that will allow laptops to run for 20 hours instead of their sucky 2-3hr life. The only problem is, how do I charge (or refuel) it and how much does said recharging cost?

See For Yourself.

* NOVA String Theory Video *

Cool: NOVA | The Elegant Universe | Watch the Program | PBS

Uncool: No Windows Media! Only Quicktime and Real Video (do people still install that spyware laden app...I guess PBS thinks so).

* DIY Cryogenics *

Very interesting site that teaches you to make a fly powered match plane, but check out this chunk:

Catch a bunch of flies. Put them in a jar and put the jar in the freezer. In a few seconds the flies will be chilled out completely. This is called cryogenics, and it has its drawbacks. For example, the flies will be dead flies if you freeze them too long. Dead flies are no good. So if you're a tinkerer, refrigerate your flies. It takes longer to make them comatose, but they have a higher recovery rate than the ones you leave in the freezer next to the burritos.
