Potential Life Styles of the Not Yet Rich & Famous
There's an intersting article on ridiculously lavish (and quite geeky) home theatres. It makes me think what one might be able to do with the downstairs "play room".
One might be able to construct something that could perform multiple functions. Looking at the "Titanic" or the "Nautilus" themed rooms, my mind imagines a design that could be used as a Victorian/Edwardian/bordello environment for LARP's and watching movies, with a 60-inch or larger screen hidden behind stylistically appropriate panelling, perhaps wood or a combination of wood and rich flock wallpaper, and decorated with easily disguisable dungeon equipment for play parties. It should also still be usable for potential wargaming and table tennis.
This idea gives me something to plot upon... but first I'd have to get rid of all the boxes and old books, etc. And I should fix the sink and kitchem, and do my bedroom and associated hallway, before such frivilous expenditures. This is just so much more fun to think about!

- Detecting Cancer by Laser
...by smelling breath samples, dogs identified breast and lung cancer patients with accuracies of 88 and 97 percent, respectively, as reported in the March 2006 issue of Integrative Cancer Therapies. The evidence is clear-gas phase molecules are uniquely associated with cancer.
...McCann saw an opportunity to use mid-infrared laser technology to help elucidate the relationship between specific gas phase biomarker molecules and cancer. - Super-soldier Serums

I immediately think of revolutionary cells or cell phones, but no, they're talking about converting one type of biological cell into another via "transcription factors". Look for the term cell conversion transcription factors in a zombie movie soon! - Curing Blindness

It's terrible! Some of it is average. Actually I quite liked that bit. Amazing!
