Heard about a new site today. Newseum the worlds most interactive museum. The really cool thing is the newspaper map. You can click on one of the buttons and that city's newspaper's frontpage is displayed

Cold Fusion?

Cool!

So when can we be looking for our home fusion kits?

'Cold Fusion' Rebirth? New Evidence For Existence Of Controversial Energy Source

ScienceDaily (Mar. 23, 2009) ? Researchers are reporting compelling new scientific evidence for the existence of low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), the process once called "cold fusion" that may promise a new source of energy. One group of scientists, for instance, describes what it terms the first clear visual evidence that LENR devices can produce neutrons, subatomic particles that scientists view as tell-tale signs that nuclear reactions are occurring.

Everything old is new again! I have always thought that something was going on back when Fleishmann and Pons reported their findings way back when. Maybe not fusion, per se, but something. Now it looks like somebody else has found something...and that something looks an awful lot like fusion.

Low-energy nuclear reactions could potentially provide 21st Century society a limitless and environmentally-clean energy source for generating electricity, researchers say. The report, which injects new life into this controversial field, will be presented March 23 in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the American Chemical Society's 237th National Meeting.*

"Our finding is very significant," says study co-author and analytical chemist Pamela Mosier-Boss, Ph.D., of the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in San Diego, Calif. "To our knowledge, this is the first scientific report of the production of highly energetic neutrons from an LENR device."

The Cranberries

I was browsing through some old CD's the other day and ran across Stars, a greatest hits collection from The Cranberries. I enjoyed their music, not just the hits. They were rock, but not metal, and I really liked the Celtic edge they brought to rock.

So, yes, now I'm overdosing on Dolores O'Riordan all over again! I understand she's done some solo work recently. I'll have to check it out.
