Contact Eye lense lets you see everything. Even at night.

Just today i was reading this very interesting artical on Yahoo!. It was about these developers who have created a contact eye lense that could change the way we see things literaly. Want night vision? You got it. Want to zoom in like binoculars? Yup that too. They have the technology to do it, the only problem is finding a wireless source of energy for the lens. I dont know about other people but i would be first in line if i had the money to have night vision whenever i wanted. I would guess that they would be able to change eye color whenever they wanted amongst many other things. The possiblitys are endless with this technology.

HD-DVD vrs Blu-ray

I just read on Yahoo that Blu-ray is beating out HD-DVDs in the market now. I dont know much about either but i know a few years ago Blu-ray players were very very expensive. companys are actually getting rid of the HD-DVD and switching over, making HD-DVD not as avalabile as it used to be.

Cell Phones OFF on airplanes?

Have you ever wondered "why do i have to turn my phone off, on a stupid plane?" The answer is just BECAUSE. I watch mythbusters anytime it is on. It is one of my favorite shows to watch besides Rob and Big, and Dirty Jobs. The mythbusters tried all they could to mess up the instruments on a plane with different cell phone waves be amplified and had no results what so ever. So why do we have to turn our cell phones of on a plane? The answer came at the end of the episode. The reason is, there is so many new cell phones that do come out every year that they dont want to take the risk. They run on a different frequency and waves. Interesting..not really but it does make sense.

BRRRRRRR!

As we all know we had a bad winter storm last week and getting to class was a pain. I couldnt believe how bad the roads, sidewalks, driveways, and even the grass was. It was hard trying to keep balance for the half-mile walk i have to class at 8am. I saw at least 5 people fall on the ice that day. I really think that the road service should have been a little more prepared for this and that SRU should have as well.

Battery Life

i recently read a post on EverythingQ.com which is a provider for my cell phone and a help service, that there is a battery out there made for certain smart phones that will last up to 6 days with constant use. I thought this was pretty cool because most of the time my phone only last half a day with constant use.
