The trouble with having something good at the top of a blog when you don’t have much time for updating is that whatever you bump it with is going to seem worse. So in that spirit: some worse.
Down Under going under: strangely beautiful simulations of rising sea levels and rising outback real estate prices. Good to see that Tassie holds up okay... apart from where my parents live. (Yep, I’ve been fretting about global warming for twenty years.)
Imagine all the no people (via MeFi). The Quiet Earth had me worried about that twenty years ago, too.
Pour-on nanotechnology stops bleeding in seconds (via MeFi). The kind of news that leaves your neolithic brain blinking at the harsh fluorescent light of the Future. The next time anyone threatens to snatch away their research funding they should chop his hands off, pour on magic nano fluid to stop the bleeding, and sew them on backwards.
“Protecting Virus” promises protection against all forms of influenza. Okay, now they’re just taking the piss.
Batman: My parents are dead (via MeFi yet again). FACE!
And although they can’t match the Beatles ones for overall impact, I’ve started posting my latest limericks again—about a month’s worth. When I get a moment I’ll do some more YouTube videos, as well. (A thousand views for The Trouble With Sloths—blimey.)
