Thursday, May 25, 2006 - Science Fiction-y Stuff

Well, looks like some poor soul actually went out and bought themselves a copy of the old edition of Blurred Line. Its Amazon ranking jumped up to about 116,000 today, so that probably translates into one person buying a copy. Too bad it's the PageFree version and I'll never see a cent of the sweet, sweet royalty money. If you want your own copy, there's a ton of discounted copies available or, if you don't mind your books beat up a little, I still have a couple scratch and dent copies around the apartment that I'm willing to give away for free.

In other, more interesting news, we'll all be able to go undercover Harry Potter-style in the future. According to this article, we're only a couple of years away from having invisibility cloaks.

As Voyager 2 leaves the solar system, some stuff about the shape of space, which I've always found fascinating.

And, Honda's developing a "brain-machine interface" for its Asimo robot. Can't you just see hordes of those happy-looking Asimos controlled by some evil supervillain's mind? I mean, this stuff just writes itself.
