Love how something that many would consider to be obsolete still has a place in today’s time. The quality and unique characteristics produced by a letterpress just cannot be replicated by the modern day laser printers. Think its time for ICL to invest in a letterpress to make all of our future event invites!
Never ceases to amaze me at how awesomely fast technology and medicine continues to progress. Here’s a new story on probably the first (published) human trial with stem cells and its effects on blindness. Maybe its about time I can finally trust Lasik…
“This trial is more about assessing the safety of the transplantation than its efficacy; but the ambiguity surrounding Freeman’s improvements draws attention to the need for control groups and larger sample sizes in future trials. For now, however, these results are pretty much everything the researchers could have hoped for.
“This is very important for the field of human embryonic stem cell research,” says Dr. Steven Schwartz, director of the Diabetic Eye Disease and Retinal Vascular Center at UCLA and lead author of the paper. “It opens the door for multiple strategies in the field, and hopefully for everyone investigating [this technique], it puts some wind in their sails.”
Most of you have heard of SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, but have you also heard of PIPA, the Protect IP Act? While the SOPA brand has been damaged due to the mass negative attention it has received and the companies publicly opposing it, the PIPA bill is essentially the twin sister of SOPA and has mostly slid under the radar. The bill is scheduled for a Senate floor vote on January 24th and companies such as MAKE, all of O’Reilly Media, Wikipedia, Reddit, Boing Boing, Tucows, Twitpic, and more have pledged to go dark tomorrow to build awareness on this issue.
Don’t let your government destroy what is the fabric of the internet.
Do your part and help spread the word.

We all knew that Google drove around with these gnarly cameras on top of their cars to capture these amazingly accurate street-views, but did you also know that they use bikes, snowmobiles, and even a push-cart? I call dibs on the snowmobile!
