Jun. 9th, 2003 11:57 amAm I freak for using hot curry paste as a sandwich spread?
Mmm, hot curry paste. Today's lunch:
- Veggie burger on wheat with hot curry paste
- Taro bun
- A small slice of spinach quiche
Whee!
It can be sunny now. I'm ready for two days in a row of sunny.

I am not making any of this stuff up. Science is totally fucking amazing.
From the May 2003 issue of R&D:
- Evident Technologies in Troy, NY is producing a kilogram of semiconducting nanocrystals every week. They are perfect crystals approximately 3 to 10 nanometers in size, meaning they are just slightly bigger than atoms and just smaller than bulk matter.
- A square chip slightly less than two inches on a side can now analyze the reaction of up to 400 genes to a specific substance in about two hours. The chip is produced by Infineon and MetriGenix.
- A group at U Chicago successfully measured the angular momentum of rings of light: optical vortices that are created by holographic optical tweezers. A HOT uses strongly focused, computer generated holograms to suspend microscopic particles in three dimensions - in theory, they could rotate a ring of spheres when the optical vortices are projected onto them, making them into a microscopic motor driven by light.
- Scientists at the U of Rochester have slowed light to 127 mph by shining it through a ruby 2 cm in diameter.

HULK party?
Jun. 9th, 2003 09:26 pmI am thinking that it would be wicked cool to have a pre-movie party for the HULK premiere. Tentatively, this would be happening on Thursday, June 19th, several hours before a midnight showing. I would likely be providing all-green food and drink - including HULK MILK! Mu hahaha!!
