lol and if you don't know what it means - google it.

ok, so I read Discover Magazine - its a good way to keep up on what is going on in science, while not dealing with something written for scientists. I also read Time magazine and Us magazine, thus keeping up with current events and celebrities. LOL. There is a great article this month - called "Dude, where's my jetpack?" Its about technology that we ALMOST have but not quite, like flying cars and such.
For some reason though, when I went to the site for the magazine they only have last months issue posted. hmmm weird...

The other interesting stuff was about art Laura Splan who makes creep doilies that are representations of viruses - yucky. but very pretty. They have a picture in the magazine of HIV doilie...
Ok enough learning for the day - later
