I should be thinking about serious things but instead I'm looking at free stuff on craigslist. And why do I want a free swingset?! Actually, if I had a big backyard I would take 1000 of these....really I would, it would be surreal and sublime at the same time. Oh, and in case you happen to want the link and are in the area http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/zip/320519857.html

I was very impressed with these biocoil thing-a-ma-jigs; they are basically coils of tubing filled with algae. Why are they so cool? Cause they can generate oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide among other useful things. Not a big deal? It's enough to let a person live underwater with no other means of life support....try that with your rose bush and see how things work out.
Anyway, here are some links: To the original biocoil project (made by high school students).
To the guy who decided to live underwater with one!
No, not the wireless service! I remember seeing these animations a little while back and just happened across them again while looking through my bookmarks. The company that makes them, xvivo, makes such cool stuff that I find myself entranced while listening to phrases like: "secreted chemokines bound to something something proteogylcan are presented to lupicite transmembrane receptors" The musical version is interesting as well...
The full version can be seen here.
Holy Crap! It is 2007!
Yeah, I know -it happened awhile back....but still, 2007. This won't mean anything unless you already know.
You do know what happens in 2013, right?
This is one possibilty....really almost no one would believe it until it happens
