A Big Advance For Maxwell Smart

A shoe phone? Old stuff... how about a shoe radar, a device that supplements your GPS to track your location when you're somewhere (e.g., in a shielded building) from which your GPS can't receive a signal?

In other fascinating science news, we have Fallenmonk's post on life, found in a poisonous lake, that uses arsenic instead of phosphorus in its DNA. Now there's something truly different.

Or if you're interested in a longer lifespan, read about some work done at UTHSC-San Antonio on a variety of C. elegans.

(Aside: I still feel like crap. Posting will continue to be intermittent.)

  2. Thanks, mandt; your good wishes help me as much as soup would. (It would have to be Tofurkey soup for me anyway; we're a pair of sprout-eaters.)
