Hola! ?Como esta? ...and that's about as much Spanish that I know...

• DNA construction kit self-assembles 3D 'crystals' - I wonder how strong these self assembling materials are? I can't imagine it being too strong if DNA is used as the linking structures. Plus it requires water as a sorrounding solution. This would be good for bioengineering, but limited in out of water applications. I am sure we could engineer a differant method though, using stronger materials, I have no doubt. And to reinforce my opinion...
• Artificial letters added to life's alphabet - I am continually amazed what our engineers can do!
• New Process Makes Nanofibers In Complex Shapes And Unlimited Lengths - I wonder if this process can be modified to make Carbon Nanotubes? Then the Space Elevator cable system could be created finally.
• Scientists discover a way to reverse memory loss in 'accidental breakthrough' - Instant memory retrieval? Wire me up!
• Cheap Hydrogen - A new process uses sunlight and a nanostructured catalyst to inexpensively and efficiently generate hydrogen for fuel. I have a concept of integrating this technology with tidal power, ocean current, and wind power, all on an ocean based platform. It would collect energy from as many sources as possible and could store the energy as hydrogen, or desalinate water for drinking and agriculture. It's still in the back of my mind, with no formal drawings as yet.
• The Next 25 Years in Tech - "PCs may disappear from your desk by 2033. But with digital technology showing up everywhere else--including inside your body--computing will only get more personal." Both this article and the next one are pretty conservative and reflect linear thinking. I think things will change faster than this. By 2029 a $1000 laptop will have as much computational power as a human. What will supercomputers have? How will the exponential growth rate of computation effect things such as Nanotechnology, Genetics, and Artificial Intellignece, which all effect each other in self reinforcing feedback loops. Not all things are being held equal, they are all changing at an exponential rate, so I would like to predict a much more aggressive proggression rate than most "experts" are willing to make.
• Five Sci-Fi Scenarios That Will Come True - "In the next 25 years, these technological advances, made famous in movies and on TV, will become reality. How accurate are our prognostications? Check back with us in 2033." - Very conservative in outlook.
• More Macs, More Mobile, More Open Source, Gartner Predicts - A better, more informed prediction set compared to the previous two articles.
• Researchers' nanotube findings give boost to potential biomedical applications - I had made a previous comment on a related article wondering about the safety of CNTs (Carbon NanoTubes) and their use in the body. Well I guess I have an answer :-)
• Death of the father: British scientists discover how to turn women's bone marrow into sperm - Whoever says we humans cannot create life in the lab have their heads in the sand.

Thats all for today. Have a great weekend!
