Angel Station: Gold-Plated Nanobombs

Wednesday, January 03, 2007

Laser-activated, gold-plated nanobombs are being used to fight cancer.

I mean, how cool is that?

That said, you have seen the nanofluids and other weirdness over at New Scientist, yes?

And I'm just not sure how cool that would be...; 11:59 PM

Off-topic: Hi. A few days ago, I was cleaning my house and found my old copy of "Angel Station". It was probably over 15 years ago that I read it before. I'm re-reading it. God, it's good! So I googled your named and found this blog. Thanks for the enjoyment.

PS: Not that you can sue Joss Whedon, but the overall situation the Shooters are in at the beginning now seem kind of similar to the Firefly crew.; 12:04 PM

Thanks for the kind remarks about Angel Station. That was a book that took more sweat than I would have liked.; 4:50 PM
