Upping my Dose: Resveratrol

When I made my earlier post about starting to take Pregnenolone, heron61 commented that pregnenolone is best taken sublingually, not as a capsule swallowed. Because of poor gut absorption, I upped my dose to 2 capsules a day, to be taken with dietary fats (based on what I was able to discover via google). More research needed before I decide what sublingual...

hard SF watch: Earthlight

I just checked out and read the first two volumes of Earthlight , a manga-format comic by Stuart Moore. I liked it... one reviewer called it a mix of teen drama and space action SF, which seems right, and thought it was too fast and heavy on the action, which I can see. The year is 2068, the place is the Earthlight colony on the Moon, whose main function is supporting (and presumably building) ...

Sam's Pink Dress

All too often I get despondent about the lack of social progress since I was a kid. heron61 linked to the article below. I am overjoyed that progress has been made. Most probably not everywhere. But at least some places. Back in the 1950s when I was a child, if some boy had worn a dress to school, he probably would have been taunted cruelly, then had ...

Truth in food labelling

One thing I purchased at Bfoods East was PHEASANT & ROSEMARY PATE with Pork and Duck . The actual ingredient list is Duck, Pork, Pork Fate, Pheasant, Onion, Water, Pork Liver, Duck Liver, Spies, Pecans, Port, Salt. I think a false impression was conveyed. Still tastes good, and didn't cost more than the other pate. But still. Evening links: * Rosy memories of Communist Hungary . See comments ...

This is how the world changes [Notes on the Acceleration]

We already have brainwave interfaces for videogames , and a year ago, researchers in Japan managed to read neural output of visual information , and progress on this front is definitely continuing . Progress on this front is slow, but also steady, and I don't expect anything like detailed readouts of visual imagery or words for between 10 & 15 years. A few years after that, I'd expect ...

Impressed and Surprised: Whole Earth Discipline

I first encountered Stewart Brand and the Whole Earth Catalog , and while it was somewhat interesting, I mostly found what it seemed to be the sort of thing produced by people whose politics I mostly agree with, but who were the sorts of environmentalists that I also mostly considered to be technophobes and anti-urban pastoralists , so began ignoring it. So, when james_nicoll ...

More amazing robotics

As I mentioned in this post about cutting edge robotics , I expect that this work will also transfer to prosthetics, and it certainly has done so . I suspect that in 5 years we'll have the first prosthetics that are actually more dexterous and versatile than humans hands - the sense of touch will almost certainly be far more limited, and I don't see anything like the voluntary cyberlimbs ...

Nokia n810 in need of a good home

Last year, I purchased a Nokia n810 internet tablet . It's a lovely device – the 4.1" 480x800 screen is beautiful, the keyboard is easy to use, it plays music ( using the Canola program ) well, and it loads full web-pages, not mobile versions of web pages like most phones (iphone and ipod touch included). It works well as an ebook reader ( using FBReader ), and when plugged into your PC, ...
