Cellular machina. Nano machines for assembly purposes.

2011 . Feb . 19

Someday in the not too distant future we will use nano-machines to replicate our bodies… oh wait, we do this already. Seriously though, watch this video! around ~2:30 you get to see DNA ‘spinning as fast as a jet engine’ through an existing nano-machine. What happens when we can give instructions to these machines? Think [...]

The future of old computers…

2010 . Dec . 19

(in the spirit of the ‘half-written’ letters bit… here’s a post that’s been half written for more than a year. I had to update the file links because of the server transition… but that’s about all I changed.) Today’s computers are pretty sweet… but they’ll be old soon enough. And so will you. If you’ve been [...]

Flying with birds

2010 . Dec . 14

You wouldn’t be able to tell from comments posted directly on the site (because evidently my ‘readers’ don’t post comments), but I’ve actually gotten a lot of questions IRL about how I think people will be able to plug into machines. Specifically, you might remember an earlier post about how much I’d like to control [...]

What do nano-photonics have to do with virtual pets and zombies?

2010 . Dec . 1

So, this morning at work I read an interesting bit about silicon nano-photonic CMOS chips from IBM. And, while this crap-hole of a blog is probably the last place you’d look to find information about such developments, it’s still a good outlet for some sci-fi sort of thinking about the future. What follows started out [...]

Is this the Future of Google Wave Servers? I think so…

2010 . Apr . 23

I’m a big fan of Google Wave, but I think it’s really hard to imagine using in conjunction with e-mail.  And it seems to me that the chatty, e-maily features that you see in your browser might not be the really important future of Wave.  The UI is cool, don’t get me wrong, and it [...]

will it resonate? … super video post #1 w00t!

2009 . Mar . 10

[the title sounds cool, but the rest of it is a complete hack from you-tube and a lifetime membership to the geeklord sci-fi hubub booklist... get used to it.] Let’s think about the future in big fat over-reaching strokes. While I’m not tempted to do the requisite research, I suspect if i looked close enough [...]

… 2012

2009 . Feb . 16

I don’t know who this guy is… … but he certainly seems to know what he’s talking about. From the vid: “Dec 21, 2012: the earth the sun and the center of the galaxy all come into alignment….”
