Ok now this is the sort of technology that I like to hear about. An under skin sensor that can detect blood sugar level changes (diabetes), cholesterol levels, chemo therapy effectiveness and potentially warn of heart attacks BEFORE they happen by several hours.

Reasons why the internet is awesome: I’m sitting in Salt Lake City, watching waves, surfers and whales in Hawaii, listening to KEXP in Washington, chatting with friends and family around the the country.

If you find yourself stuck in an office or somewhere else, and need to get outside but can’t, here is a camera on the ocean. When I’m stuck in the cleanroom without windows and with tons of fluorescent lights, this helps.

Here is a good video explanation of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image with some depth added. It makes me wonder what would happen if we made a telescope that had a hemisphere view and set it to view the entire universe for a year, instead of a speck of sky for 11 days.
