My good buddy Anton got me hooked on The Radio Dept. about 4 years ago and they keep getting better and better. I have a handful of favorite bands that I’ve placed on the very top golden shelf of my cupboard of choicest music and these guys are there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHcQXFUkWx0
I remember hearing about aluminum foam like this a few years ago, but never titanium foam. Aluminum foam has huge potential benefits for car design (i.e. fill voids in the car’s body to absorb impact during collisions), but titanium is too heavy for that I’m assuming. But it’s perfect for bones where the damaged human bone can grow into the foam resulting in a bone that’s stronger than the original. Now if they could just invent razor sharp retractable blades that can into the top of our fists.

Every time I use Shazam I swear it’s magic. How can a telephone listen to a tiny snippet of a song and somehow tell you the name, artist, and how to buy it?!

This time it’s the phytoplankton in the are which are generating massive amounts of “snot” (a residual effect of the phytoplankton being under stress). This will almost certainly create a dead zone in the BP spill zone. Sea mucus of this type can attach to form stretches of slime upwards of 100 miles long. Boing Boing has the full story here: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/09/100916-sea-snot-gulf-bp-oil-spill-marine-snow-science-environment/
The original play “God Of Carnage” won Best Play, Best Direction, and Best Actress (Marcia Gay Harden) at the 2009 Tony Awards. The story is set in Brooklyn and deals with two different sets of parents that meet to discuss one of their children’s bullying of the other couple’s child. Things start out in a civil manner, but by nightfall things spin into chaos. Shooting starts in Paris in February for 12 weeks. Shooting in Brooklyn is prohibited because of Polanski’s legal situation due to allegations against him for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in 1977. Read the original…
