  • Anything Into Oil

    In the May 2003 issue of Discover, an article titled “Anything Into Oil” drew a phenomenal reader response.

  • Rediscover the Internet

    StumbleUpon is a spyware-free browser tool that allows your to "stumble" the internet for different sites within your realm of interest with the click of a button. You have to oppurtunity to set up profiles to reflect the site categories you would like to view. You can choose from many different categories, such as movies, photography, pets and religion. As you stumble, you can rate the sites you view "I like it" or "Not for me", improving the accuracy of future stumbles. You can send the sites you like via email to friends and family, or write a site review for others to see. I highly recommend StumbleUpon for finding web content without spending a lot of time searching.

  • Bionic eye will let the blind see

    "For the first time ever, those who have been blind since birth will have a chance to see the world. It's still in the early stages, but this is a giant leap forward in medical science." From the linked BBC article: "U.S scientists have designed a bionic eye to allow blind people to see again. It comprises a computer chip that sits in the back of the individual's eye, linked up to a mini video camera built into glasses that they wear. Images captured by the camera are beamed to the chip, which translates them into impulses that the brain can interpret." The BBC has more...
