Hawking, beer and coffee, tidal power, arms race 2.0…
-
Genius physicist joins my campaign to get the human race off-planet. Well, he said it off his own back really, but I’m sure he’d support me in one of my futurist rants at the pub. Go Steve! Big up yo’self.
-
Well, I certainly hope so…
-
…but beer isn’t all bad (although the dosage size wouldn’t go down well with your doctor).
-
No, not Tommy Lee’s pneumatic missus – it’s another satellite with a silly name.
-
Wh00t! Another local project, too.
-
A new approach to helping the blind to see.
-
All donations toward my first jag into space very gladly received; Paypal, cheques or used banknotes, whatever you have.
-
Doesn’t seem to be a particularly exciting discovery, but the boffins seem fairly pleased about it anyway. Go figure.
-
Electroactive paper flexes in electrical fields – unsurprisingly, it’s the military apps that get thought of first. After all, that’s where the big research grants come from these days. Sigh.
-
This satellite has being taking pictures of the Sun since 1998, and some of them are very beautiful indeed; go take a look. Link snapped from MetaFilter.
-
Great, just what we need, another bloody arms race.
-
Breakthrough in computer object-recognition programming
-
Only displaying a few of these so far, thankfully. I really think I should make a full post out of this link…
-
Jose at Memetherapy interviews Canadian SF supremo. I’m not sure he really needs me directing traffic to him, after getting BoingBoinged for the Rucker interview today…
-
You can rely on Worldchanging to have the real data on anything ecological – here they debunk the notion that nuclear power would reduce carbon emissions.
-
It’s a podcast. It’s with Bruce Sterling. It’s the second (and final) part. Yes.

Yes keep the links coming Boing Boing or now Boing Boing. Think like Tesco’s Every Little Bit Helps.
I enjoyed the Trace pics and the paper airplane story. Part of the problem with running a blog the way I do is that I don’t have much time left over to surf the blogosphere like I used to. So I’m pretty much using your links for my science and tech reading and you aren’t letting me down. Keep it up.
