Back off, man, I'm co-creating my reality.

Nano-Pollution and Morgellon’s Disease
I have been thinking about about the environmental and medical effects of nano-pollution. Nanotechnology is a catch-all phrase that describes microscopic man-made objects. These come in many shapes and sizes – soccer-ball-shaped cages made of 60 carbon atoms, nanotubes the thickness of a hair, among others. These objects persist in the environment after they’ve been […]
Identicon
Don Parks Daily Habit – Visual Security: 9-block IP Identification An interesting site I came across a few weeks ago, lost, then found again. Look, I’m beautiful! Uh, well, at work anyway. My identicon at home looks like one of the bugs from the movie “Starship Troopers.” Update: Since you wondered…
Technorati Tags Bookmarklet
Andrew Beacock’s Blog: Oddiophile’s Technorati Tags Bookmarklet is available here I originally used the simpletags plugin for WordPress, but it has a couple of little quirks.

Garden Pictures
The garden is well under way. We’re growing Roma, Better Boy and Early Girl Tomatoes; three kinds of peppers; eggplant; and several herbs and spices. I’ve already been cutting chamomile for a relaxing tea. On deck we have a few pots and flats of seedlings, some of which will go in this weekend. Basil, of […]
Waking the Dead
UPenn’s Center for Resuscitation Science Interesting web site. It’s about how we define the moment of death. They are turning Emergency Medicine on its head. If you have advance directives, a living will or a DNR order, it’s because you don’t want to wind up a vegetable after a medical emergency or because you have […]
