New LED technology made from Salmon

Go DNA!

Go DNA!

My kids are constantly leaving the light on, we’ve switched to flourescent where we can but I’m not really that happy with the light. It was with this in mind when I uncovered this report about researchers inventing an new LED lightbulb from salmon DNA.

University of Connecticut researchers have added fluorescent dye to salmon DNA and spun the DNA strands into nanofibers to create a brand new material that gives off a bright white light. A LED light is coated with the DNA nanofibers, and voila, a salmon DNA lightbulb is born.

movie poster for tron legacy

movie poster for tron legacy

As an young 11 year old boy, I remember a lot of my first trip to Disney World. For some reason though what really stands out for me is waiting for our flight home. During the wait, I got to see a trailer that blew my mind. The trailer was for Tron and, like many geeks is probably one of the reasons we got into computers.

Those memories came rushing back to me today as I got a first glimpse at the Tron Legacy trailer.

I hope to god this ends up being Star Trek good and not Star Wars suck-ass.

You can also find a boatload of more Tron legacy information here.

Read books like this smart guy

kindle

Look at this clown. Doesn’t he look studious? He’s learning a lot because instead of dealing with incredible back pain he’s reading all of his books on his Kindle. That’s right. Today, I want a Kindle. And not just any old Kindle but the mother of Kindle’s the 9.7″ big boy. The one that is basically a full page display.

Why do I want it? Well, I want to feel smart too. I’m also pining for the slacker jeans and the purple hoodie. Ah, forget that. I just want the Kindle.
