-possible knee failure during mobile activities, see dealer for replacement immediately
i've decided that as soon as its economically fesible i'm going to have all my joints and whatever else they can do replaced with metal/composite implants, not really. i crashed my bike sunday and hurt my knee. saw the doctor today and luckily all my ligiments are intact (although by my limp you wouldnt know it). i shall design new stronger ligiments incase of future accidents.
brian, maybe its the lack of smoking mother earth that caused the earth day screw-up. matt, good to hear about the skirts at your place, storrs is crawling with them.
i have a bad feeling about the energy issue. i believe that nothing will happen until it absolutely has too. there just isnt a market for alternative energy. fuel-cells are falling flat or their fucking face. its not even really an alternative energy and look whats happening there. answer, no market. why is any business, with the sole purpose af making money, going to dump money into something that isnt needed. its basically wasting resources (money). face it, things will get worse until they completely break down. everone is aware of it, there are councils that have deal with this issue, everyone knows the day will come when oil is no more. its up to people like us who are going to have the spending power do do things to change the market to our needs. if we want it then someone is going to build it and make money off us. its a time tested formula, and everyone is satisfied. matt, get a windmill and solar panels. i sure as hell am. and then show it off, make stat sheets on how much you invested, how much you saved. make the market change to our needs. and if we want alternate energy then it starts with us paying for it.
sorry for the market rant. one of my profs here always brings the market aspect into the picture. i could make you a kick ass mousetrap, but if it cost 100$ due to research, materials and developement who the fuck would buy it.
