John sent me some pictures the other day of him and his wife and "the unknown man" out in the bright light, beach, palm trees, etc... I'm thinking, cool, vacation pictures, but I keep forgeting he lives there. That's an everyday thing. Must be nice. ( Am I subconsciously pitching Florida again... what's with me? Maybe it's because here in beautiful Manchester England I haven't seen that yellow thingy in a while, what did they use to call it... oh yeah, THE SUN!!!)
By the way John, loved the nanotech articles. It makes one go wildly into futuristic tangents of thought. I think though that they are being a little misleading by talking about the very beginnings of the technology research happening within a decade and then without any reference of time, leaping to what nanotechnology, to my understanding of it, won't happen for another hundred years. One can envision dropping a drop of fluid from an eyedropper on top of a skyscraper (steel, ceramics, copper, glass, silicon, etc... ) and in that drop would contain thousands of tiny robotic assemblers, half of which are programed specifically to assemble more assemblers. What armed monster robotic army from hell, all carrying little vials of this fluid, could be formed from that. Probably one plenty big enough to take over airports and other transportation centers nearby to spread out through the world fairly quickly. yeeeeshhh! I know that's a pretty limited vision of nanotechnology, but hey, it's fun day dreaming about it.
