Someone was talking about merging instant messaging and P2P?

And this is why we should build off of nature more often:

"The strength of the uranium solution would have been at most no more than a few parts per million, and uranium would have been but one of many ions in solution. In the place that is now Oklo such a stream flowed into an algal mat that included microorganisms with a strange capacity to collect and concentrate uranium specifically. They performed their unconscious task so well that eventually enough uranium oxide was deposited in the pure state for a nuclear reaction to start."
It's been running for 1.8 billion years...

Check out Destina, unfortunately it doesn't work with Firefox.

Thanks.

Anyway, seeing as how I must be going mad, I decided to browse through some hotels that came up and many that are within a number of blocks from campus seem taken. I did notice there were a bunch of rooms available from hotels down by Bloomington Road. You could look up bus schedules and there

Hope you find your way.

So, apparently, I'm out of luck on the rooms they set aside for guests for this conference at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (college basketball fans may recognize this place.) Anyone have any recommendations for a decent travel website that can help me find a hotel (or does it particularly matter?) I'd rather not have to call up a bunch of places. I'm looking at Travelocity right now. Any other suggestions? Location is a key, so a service that maps out prospective hotels would be nice.

Oh, yeah, and I'm presenting at a conference the first week of May.

That Nintendo A cappella was pretty good!

Are we going anywhere tonight? It is the last day of school for some of us.

Tom, the guy who wrote "to the Edmonton Daily Paper," is sitting about three seats to my right. He works in my lab. I guess he didn't realize it's on AOF's website.

The last in my series of weapons pictures for the new Grand Arms unit. Next picture I post should be the new unit.



The Jagd buster can double as a high energy weapon or a massive beam blade. Those control rods can retract or extend down the barrel of the weapon. The more extended it is the more focused the beam will be. It can focus the beam to the extent that it could function as a long range sniper weapon, or it can spread the beam wide enough to function as a devastating cannon.

The Offense/Defense system functions as a energy sheild generator, a physical sheild and a mount for 4 weapons. As you can see in the picture it can switch weapons on the fly, and I have tried to show the switching mechanism. The arrows show the direction the servo turns and the weapon extending out once in position. Not too much work on the mechanical servoes because the picture would get too cluttered. The 4 weapons are: Mega Fixer cannon Mk 3 enchanced, giant beam saber, Rail Gatling, and Amataretsu missile array.

The Jagd Broadsword is formed from many small pieces which are assembled by advance anti-grav technology. They fuse into a solid blade and can unfuse when not needed. The handle is stored in the left shoulder and the pieces are store in the right and left shoulder. It can assemble in a matter of seconds.
