MA adopts a hockey player Jordin Tootoo, from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, the first Inuit to play in the NHL.  No pressure.  <g> I'll keep you up to date.  11:59:51 PM    comment [] Whoa Monkeys control robotic arm with brain implants.  The technology could someday allow people with paralyzing spinal cord injuries to operate machines or tools with their thoughts as naturally as others today do with their hands. It might even allow some paralyzed people to move their own arms or legs again, by transmitting the brain's directions not to a machine but directly to the muscles in those latent limbs. The brain implants could also allow scientists or soldiers to control, hands-free, small robots that could perform tasks in inhospitable environments or in war zones. I'm sure we're still some distance away from being able to do that, but still, a pretty eerie thing to think about.  11:23:26 PM    comment [] Link of the Week....sort of Christian Classics Ethereal Library Haven't had a chance to explore a lot yet, but it looks pretty extensive.  The Hunger Site moves up to the Destinations section (I'm planning to retool the blogroll soon, as soon as I figure out how to organize it.)  I also picked up this nifty t-shirt from THS.  3:21:44 AM    comment []
