Imagine corralling an aquatic oil spill with a ring of magnets — and then dragging that magnetic fence to some convenient spot where the fuel can be sopped up. As far fetched as this idea may sound, materials scientists began work, this summer, on developing a technology to do just that.

Well folks. I am tired and not much for podcasting today. The excessive heat and travel this weekend at the New Media & Podcast Expo took it all out of me. However, I will be back for Tuesday. Thanks for staying subscribed.

It was not so much a great day in my humble opinion. Having attended the PNME (podcast & New Media Expo) 2006 where Leo Laporte would gather a crowd that would be standing room only at any given time, this year there were about 20 people standing around him watching him and Amber MacAurther recording a live TWIT event. What is up with that?
The number of booths for the PNME on the Exhibit floor has dwindled as well, by half from 2 years ago in my estimation. The two sessions that I attended today were less than 1/2 full if even that. A good crowd of 50-60 I would say, but not what I expected.
I wonder if Las Vegas actually over shadowed the Expo. Many fellow podcasters brought their spouses as did I, and it may be that when not attending a session, they are, like me, sight seeing. Boy is there a lot to see here, and my wife is not into podcasting but is into the casinos. Well, more for the architecture and sights rather than the gambling. I have dropped a few dollars into the coffers of the Luxor, New York New York, and Excalibur.
Vegas is bigger than itself I think eclipsing everything around it. And it is just getting bigger. There is so much construction going on here it is ridiculous. There are literally dozens of tower cranes building several more high rise hotels, casinos and condos here. There must be about a BILLION dollars in construction going on at least.
But I digress, the NME might be having its last hurrah this year. Could having the Expo at a place that has more to do on the outside even with 100+F heat than in the Expo be worth it? With what I have seen so far I can not see myself attending another Podcast Expo, which is sad as I love seeing all these great people. Let’s hope Friday and Saturday are better attended than today. For podcasting’s sake.
Invisibility cloaks may be a bit closer to reality, researchers say, thanks to the development of two new materials that are the first to bend visible light the “wrong” way in three dimensions. The so-called metamaterials are artificial composites designed to manipulate light in ways that natural materials can’t—in these cases by refracting it backward.

If you ever wondered what was going to be the next step in making robots more life like, well, this is it. A group of scientists from the University of Tokyo announced the development of a stretchy, rubbery material which conducts electricity. The material consists mostly of SWNT or single wall carbon nanotubes along with elastic resin and an ionic liquid.
Everyone likes to get that nice tan going, but no one wants to suffer from skin cancer. So beside just putting on sunblock, how can you tell if you are getting too much UV? The Melanoma Bracelet from Spa Finder changes color when exposed to dangerous levels of UV rays.

You know it’s true, how many times did Jr. drop that pacifier and pop it right back into his mouth before you can catch him? By nature, kids are just gross. It’s best that we don’t know exactly where that pacifier has been, especially when they attempt to shove it into your mouth. Well for those moments of horror when you actually find out where it has been, Pipila will be there to save the day.

Originally, Xootr was expected to be primarily used by college students. But they have been amazed. Students love the Xootr, but their customers include: middle school youth, senior citizens who view the Xootr as a nostalgic reminder of their youth, manufacturing engineers in factories, and families that stow a pair of Xootr scooters in their boat or RV.
