•September 28, 2009 • Leave a CommentI couldn’t sleep the other night so I decided to dig into my boxes to find some listening material that I hadn’t heard in a long while. Well I found Creed. Creeeed …End of story…
Ask anyone with any musical sense whatsoever what the worst band of all-time is, and 4 out of 7 times, they’ll say Creed. The complete and utter douchiness of this band is almost incredible. But when I cam across this little number, I have to say, this is the best Creed song I’ve ever heard.
…Right next to Alanis Morissette. (shivers) Have I mentioned I lost my funking iPod! Grrr

Is it Candy or Medicine?
•September 28, 2009 • Leave a CommentEither this is a really old advert, or those candies look dull and tasteless. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a comparative poster like this if the candy doesn’t look appealing enough to eat …I’m missing the point entirely here btw.

Microchip in the Eye could Restore Vision …and eventual Borg Assimilation!
•September 27, 2009 • Leave a Comment
More like ‘will restore vision’, with human prototype trials said to begin within three years. It’s only a matter of time …Can someone read that out loud to them please.
A chip inside the eye that can help blind people see again is moving closer to reality as researchers at MIT work on a retinal implant that can bypass damaged cells and directly offer visual input to the brain.
Patients who receive the implant will wear a pair of glasses that has a tiny camera attached to it. The camera will send images to a microchip implanted in the eyeball that channels the input to the brain.
It won’t entirely restore normal vision, say the researchers, but it will offer just enough sight to help a blind person navigate a room. [Wired/GadgetLab]
Damn it! I scare myself sometimes with my six-degrees-of-separational superstition. A science fiction Borg Star Trek reference and the man that played Captain James T. Kirk, Chris Pine in a movie about being blind and ‘looking’ for love:

I WATCHED THIS SILLY MOVE LAST WEEKEND! [It’s lame, save your money] But the science behind restoring vision was portrayed accurately. We see with our brains.
Oh and just to show you how in tune I am with my thematic six-degrees ability, my next post features LeVar Burton [classic miniseries ROOTS], who you geeks should recognise as Lieutenant Junior Grade Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
See you.

Galactic Center Unveiled: Vista of The Milky Way Galaxy Shows The Birth And Death Of Stars

Beautiful Stellar Evolution.
The center of our galaxy shines in greater detail than ever before, in this new composite image from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory.
C H A N D R A
The diffuse X-ray light suffusing the image comes from gas that has been heated by stellar explosions, massive young stars — and outflows powered by the supermassive blackhole at the heart of the galaxy, Sagittarius A. Scientists believe Sagittarius A gave off giant X-ray flares 50 years and 300 years earlier.
