It finds lightbulbs.

Shiny Happy People is REM with the chick from B-52's, so you were both sorta right.

 

That Zeo thing sounds awesome. $299 doesn't sound awesome.

Woohoo! I'm glad I wasn't totally wrong about that B-52s thing. Never ask me about popular music.

 

Ecofriend - Your profile's link is a 404? Happy to hang out with you. Smiley

Oops. I wasn't updating my personal blog as often I probably should have so I took it down. I added a science blog instead, which can be found at http://blog.sciencesquare.com. Still doesn't tell you a lot about me I guess except that I like science and want everyone else to like it too. Smiley

 

I am waiting for the MS Courier Wink to come out with Live Writer app so I can write about the really cool stuff when it pops into my head at random intervals throughout the day, which unfortunately does not sound as cool when I try to recall and write about it at the end of the day.
