Newsweek covers a new technology that can silently beam sound across a room to a point, such as a person's ear. It's called Hypersonic Sound System (HSS): Instead of using a vibrating membrane like traditional speakers, the HSS technology electronically converts audible tones into a pair of ultrasonic waves at frequencies far beyond human hearing. But when the ultrasonic waves interact after being processed by Norris's creation, they reproduce the original audible frequency. Even better, since the audible frequency is being carried by those ultrasonic signals, it's highly directional. That means you can effectively "shine" a spot of sound wherever you want it.

I'm baaaaack. Wow. What a freakin' weekend. You can find the details in my memory bank archive. Sorry, no link available.

Now I'm listening to Canton's Crunchy Drum & Bass CD. It' more effective than coffee at making me jiggle.

The coral.org domain went through a hard week. Our provider, MacroByte Resources got their T1 line yanked unexpectedly last Wednesday. They are still down as a far as I can tell. I took the opportunity to switch coral.org away from the slimy bastards at Network Solutions and move it to easyDNS. easyDNS gets all my DSN biz these days. They have their act together. I also moved our email accounts to my own mail server with easyDNS providing backup. Only this morning are things starting to get back to normal.
