Here's <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/wo_hecht042304.asp">a quick glance</a> at the renewed examination by the US Department of Energy regarding just <i>what</i> is going on with "cold fusion" experiments. I wish I still had a copy of the BBC <i>Horizon</i> look at the field, following a year or two after the original brouhaha had died down - it showed a variety of bona fide researchers working on the original experiment and variations on the theme. The general theme at the time seemed to be that something was, in some cases, happening with regard to net energy production, but the variables were poorly understood, and the level of production was, in most experimental setups, still very low indeed, with scaling up seemingly a significant issue.

Um. An <a href="http://www.kuddlkat.com/PCs/T-NADS/pages/T-NADS-19.htm">unusual, furry PC case mod</a>. Not safe for work or maiden aunts.

I was recently exposed to a particular tune, which has subsequently burrowed its way into what passes for my mind and taken up gleeful residence, I can do only one thing: <a href="http://irresponsiblecybernetics.com/~porsupah/Labyrinth_Of_Flames-ED.mp3">share it with you</a>.

It might as well be from Chris Morris and friends.. could you really make this up, though? <i>"It is still some way in the future, but eventually you will have a trolley which greets you by name, wishes you happy birthday, steers you to the meat counter and warns you about your health if you buy too many cakes."</i>
