Welcome to the Future

How this is not earth shattering global news I don't know- So I will take a moment to inform you. There are two major topics to be discussed in this post. The First involves a potential answer to clean renewable energy for future generations- at least it is a technological breakthrough that will lead to more efficeint meatyhods of extracting or creating our dreams of hydrogen fuel cell technology.

A guy in some lab at a university i believe in the Midwest- either Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota found a way to light salt water on fire. I know right??!!! Crazy! What happened is he was blasting a test tube of salt water with radio waves (its winter in the midwest- what else was he going to do?) and it caught fire. What happened (and this is layman's terms, i will find a actual scientific article about it as soon as I can) is the radio waves disrupted the bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen molecules thus releasing the hydrogen in an expenditure of energy. What this means really is amazing. Hypothetically this research could lead to the development of technology that leads to a truly renewable source of energy! Ocean water will one day power your flying car with a hydrogen fuel cell. Buy Salt futures now.

The other great scientific breakthrough of this last week is truly amazing. Here is the Actual Article that talks about a guy who chopped off the tip of his finger and his brother was some research geneticist studying how salamanders can regenerate tissue, and his brother sends him some powder and tells him to just keep sprinkling this stuff on his wound. Long story short, the guy now has a brand new fingertip- and his own body created it. The potential value of this breakthrough is staggering. Imagine people being able to regrow their own organs. Apparently (claims Brendan- I have yet to actually read the article in full- and I bet there are several on the topic) scientists can build some kind of cellulose structure basically with HP printers building the organ buy spraying cells in a certain fashion in layers.- Just read the article so I don't have to type.

And Welcome to the Future...

Let Duff Play

Sign this petition please.

http://www.petitiononline.com/guth716/petition.html

I want a dog park for Duffy- as do these people, in kirkland. Please sign this so Duff can live more in kirkland and I can cuddle with him.... I miss my fluff nugget.

As a side note I bought him a very expensive (of course i didn't look until after I bought it) collar, that is very regal (it is exactly the one pictured here). Mom just bought him a bright green plastic one because his old one was gross because of his love of water and ponds- but this is a martingale really wide thick one so you can actually see it because he has so much hair.

Please sign it- pretend you live in kirkland, i really want an off leash park nearby- seeing as how it is probably illeagle when I play with him off leash at Juanita Beach park- even though no one is there- i don't want to be fined.

And when i was buying him collars yesterday I also found this cute little store in Kirkland, Barkz, that has breed specific play groups- so Duffy is entered in Newfie/border collie play group. And They have advanced tricks & sticks classes- which i think we will be attending, as well as some kind of agility group in the summer which we will enroll in. He is going to be a super Star!!!

Yay Jiggly Duff!

Buy me one of these please

I shall post more about this when I have time- but just so you can take a look inside my mind- here is my new passion The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

It is so good looking, I can't think. However, the fact that it is even offered with an automatic transmission makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. That is an affront to everything this car is- even though I don't know how to drive a stick... I will learn.

Nothing feels better than a carbon fiber fed machine going 190 mph at 11 miles per gallon- truly a green vehicle for the ages. I wonder if it comes in Burnt Umber. I am drooling on my keyboard. Pics to come later- I'll see if i can't find a drive test of it.

The italians are so clever. Not only is this car comparable to the dodge and chevy sport model versions, it cost three times as much... ahh to be italian.
