Smart LED’s from Rensselaer will Adjust to Your Body Clock

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

The LED-crazed kids at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are at it again. In a paper published in this week’s Science, they talk about how LED’s not only will save huge amounts of energy (they don’t yet but theoretically can) but can be used in much more sophisticated ways. Because different colours can be so easily mixed, they see opportunities galore:

I Used To Be a Neocon

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

This is a surprisingly clear and concise opinion of the neocon movement and how MSM is working in conjunction with them.

The fact is, the neocon movement is a lot like a cult. I don’t remember how I got so involved and the details are hazy on how I got out. I just woke up one day and said “WTF!” and then ran outside to rip the “bring it on” sticker off of my car bumper. What pulled me in to the neocon cult however was a combination of American nationalism and group mentality. It was a time when questioning the government’s response to Iraq divided you between being with your country and government at a time of need, or against them. I wanted to be with them.

And in the end it doesn’t matter if we are liberals or conservatives because all that matters is that we are on the side of the U.S. Constitution and of international law. Both of which have been thrown into the toilet by this administration. At least the Qur’an has company.
