Well, they're not green.

The wedding was wonderful and nice, and the people looked resplendent in their dresses and suits. The bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome, and the party was excellent. As it turns out, my eye color's not green, but blue. More on that later. Did run into an old friend from high school, who has now graduated college and has a girlfriend of his own. Got to take a dance with the bride (she gave me a perfect opportunity - she said "more of you should be dancing, and so I offered her my hand) and tell her a story about the first and only time that the groom and I got into fisticuffs with each other. Hopefully, the two of them have a blissful life together.

A projected plan of how hybrid cars will become reality. Mostly because people will be forced to buy smaller cars because of gas prices and all that. Although we may not make it that far, if the report that the country is very close to bankrupt is in any way true.

We might be closer to cryogenic suspension than we think. And if the whole stem-cells bit turns out and is accepted, we may only need cryo for just long enough to have the organs transferred. Or perhaps the one big organ. We might be closer to giant lifespan than we think.

Top 5 list of Myths about the United States. It's not quite Everything You Know Is Wrong, but it's close. Couple those thoughts with The Top 10 organizations trying to ensure that America is a Christian Nation and enforce their own Sharia (Here's some examples of what could be used) on the people. The sorts of groups that on paper are against conflict and war, but in practice may be supporting it the hardest. (When they're not trying to evade the IRS as best they can)

For those in relationships or considering them, keep this in mind, another Top 10 list, this one The Top 10 types of women to avoid. For those who love books more than women, a short commentary on why today's science fiction sucks - it's not optimistic enough. Too much of Space Invaders and not enough of chips that allow paraplegics to manipulate computers.

A children's story about DRM (PDF form). Everybody's aiming younger and younger these days for their ideologies. "Get 'em while they're young", indeed.

( Lastly, why my eyes are blue )

Impressive stuff, indeed.

Today was a slightly hectic day. The storms are just running through, and the wind is running high, so we're powering down after this unit. Here are your links. Hopefully, power stays on in the mornign for the alarm!

Multimedia on your business card or smaller. HP Memory Spots send audio/video to nearby devices using RFID technology. So you can get lots more data out of your tag. Supposedly requires the reader to be about a milimeter away to pick up the data. We'll see if that holds up to the hacking community.

Possible Parkinson's treatment discovered - in the rats, the neurons return after a regimen. Wonder if it can be used to work on memory-loss diseases, too.

Public and Private Schools running near-even in study. About the only people lagging behind in mathematics are conservative Christian schools. If you read further in the article, though, you see that while there's been lots of peer-review, there's not much usefulness to the study (Then why do it and waste our money?) It adjusts for various factors to take away the edge that private schools claim (which is probably a raw score advantage). I dunno. Statistics says whatever you want it to say, if you look at it right.
