1 more full week in January 2010

Kate and I had a good weekend.
It started with us seeing the "Antarctica" movie at the Museum of Science on their curved IMAX screen. The shows are free on a hand full of the Fridays during the winter and we took advantage.

We followed it up with some Thai food at "The King & I" on Beacon hill. Lots of leftovers. Saturday were errand days as usual, and Saturday evening Kate came over and made Shepherd's pie. We just took it easy and watched some TV.

Sunday we debated whether or not to go see Avatar in 3D Imax. I'm not particularly enthusiastic about it myself- and ironically, Kate who usually isn't much of an action movie fan wants to see it. We opted on going to the gym, and then staying in and cooking supper instead. Perhaps next weekend.

Well time for another week. I have to get back to picking this popcorn kernel out of my teeth and then head to bed. Perhaps I'll read a little more Atlas Shrugged before I nod off.

Conan is my Johnny Carson

He was there for my study breaks in college, and was my late night voice in my early years out of school. It is a shame to see him go, hopefully FOX or someone else sees the big opportunity to have him coming back bigger and better.

Awesome! Meat without the mistreatment of Animals

Not to mention a process that will be greener and have the potential to produce massive quantities of food over a small land footprint- regardless of weather and other limiting factors.

Scientists turn stem cells into pork


Funny thing is I was just exclaiming to Kate that I didn't understand why there weren't people working on this. Now of course it will probably be a tough pill to swallow for the "Organic" fans, or the "Anti-science" crew who, some of which will immediately say it is an abomination, or playing God. Hopefully the market need, and intelligence will be a driving force rather than these ignorant sentiments.

I love the advancement of technology!
