Neat. I hope to see computers in this format on the market soon.

Nuclear Science Center at Texas A&M University
Texas A&M rocks! Where else can you tour a nuclear reactor? Sounds like just about the only things you don’t get to do it juggle fuel rods and swim in the reactor pool! Texas is looking like a better vacation spot every day…
When operating, the reactor gives off a blue glow known as Cherenkov Radiation.
When an intense radioactive source ejects high-energy charged particles into a transparent material such as water, plastic, or glass, a ghostly bluish glow extending some distance into the medium can be seen. This phenomenon is easily observed when a room containing a swimming pool reactor or a gamma facility is darkened. [Ours is intense enough that our facility does not need darkening to be able to view this phenomenon.]

Nikon D70s
Crap, my camera is out of date already. Had to happen, but now I want an upgrade. 🙂
Nikon today have announced the Nikon D70s DSLR – an upgrade of the previously released D70 model. The D70s features a larger 2 inch LCD monitor, newly re-designed menus, better auto focus, wider flash coverage and a longer lasting battery. It will reatail at $1200 with an 18-70mm lens or $900 as a body only package. Expect to see it in stores early May 2005.
OMG!
The new high-energy rechargeable lithium-ion battery EN-EL3a delivers the power to shoot up to 2,500 images* on a single charge.
Worth it just for these. I hope that the IR remote will work on my D70
Remote control options are also expanded for the D70s, with the new optional Remote Cord (MC-DC1) adding greater convenience and ease of use in a wider variety of shooting situations, including long exposures and close-ups. Cable-free operation is also available with the optional Wireless Remote Control ML-L3. A third option involves Nikon Capture 4 (Ver. 4.2) software, which can be used to control the D70s from a computer via the USB connection.

Now you can make your own!! Beef up the hardware and add gobs of potting compound and you can epoxy a few to your car. Such fun!
