Scientests power lightbulb remotely with transmitted electricity!

Very interesting. They lit a bulb from 2 meters away through transmitted power with 40% efficiency using theories based on resonance.

Hooray for MIT boffins!

Some EXCELLENT news about my niece's alcohol poisoning encounter!

Apparently the police are taking this quite seriously! The kid whose house the party was at has been in jail since the incident with something like 15 felony counts! His parents are/were in Mexico and he was "with" his aunt and uncle, but apparently had been continuously raising hell. When the police contacted his aunt and uncle, they said to cart him off!


My niece is still fine and fully recovered, I guess. My sister and her hubby apparently have been giving my two older nieces fairly free reign, probably because my sister thinks that our folks were far too strict on her. Well, as Debora said, karma can be a bitch and they are reigning in some of those liberties.

I really have to do a better job of keeping track of what movies are showing

I checked the web site last night and not only was Hot Fuzz still showing, but they were showing Grindhouse at the video theatre!

And today they're both gone. Well, at least they're still showing Mr. Brooks and the video one has a flic called Next based on a Philip K. Dick film and starring Nick Cage. So I'll probably try and catch it tonight.
