Now I’m not concerned about the Star Trek Replicator you guys are building (or planning to build). Just don’t try and leave it in your carry on baggage (if you know what’s good for you). Actually this is a bit of wonderful news that I hear Steve is booking a flight on one of the Vigin Shuttle. Let’s just hope the TSA has been banned by then or else he may never get off the ground.
On The Ether Podcast: Discussing nanotechnology and the economics of the Star Trek replicator by ZDNet‘s Mitch Ratcliffe — Tune in to a talk I had this afternoon with the founders of the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology, Mike Treder and Chris Phoenix, about my recent Star Trek replicator posting on the future of nanomanufacturing systems. Mike and Chris addressed a variety of questions about how to make nanomanufacturing, from how to deal with dangerous nanotechnology [...]
In the meantime, back on the ranch, Andy Serwer over at Fortune Magazine seemed concerned about the Apaches lurking in our lives… You know those things that just “Google up” in or lives that could end civilization before we know it or even cost us a Nation Championship (G-d forbid!). I mean you have talk on some blogs with worries about the Star Trek’s Replicators (Personally I’m thinking Smell-O-Vision will be the next big thing on the desktop PC… “Smells like Victory” maybe:), But the the Star Trek discussion concerns seem more centered in the form of a device that produces some sort of protein that turns us all into some kind of Swamp blob blog creature of the black lagoon.
Not to worry the swamp beastie beauties are covered in their own eBay reserve just in case anyone has any doubt. These are from the orginal line in the 1996 National Champion “Old Al” Steve Spurrier era Florida Gators “Win Sock!”. The “Original” Swamp monster. Been waiting a longtime for this day to arrive… didn’t think it would take over a decade to return to the National Championship. These are the “Original Win Sock” in mint condition with a new reinforced pole nylon pole and wind strap (Should read “Tornado Strap”) . Made in the USA (when that used to mean something to people). I only have a few of these little beastie beauties left. Make an offer. Fly them proudly on your car or truck or on your Game room wall, suitable for framing! These have sold at recent games for as much as $40 dollars a piece. Now online priced to sell 13 Old Al flags as a bundel package deal for everyone one on the honor team including the coach (or dad) Make an offer! SEC Proud. Go Gators!!!
Something like the weird weather tornado and hurricanes we’ve been having stranger things can still happen. Not to be confused with the TostitoFiesta Bowl (National Championship Storm of our own making but a Play-off season would be nice for the summer:).. Well since I really like the Swamp Creature, I think maybe this is some kind of plan hatched by Ohio State to do the swamp beastie in before they get a beautiful black buckeye… Hummm, very clever, allow the devils over at the TSA do the dirty work (Must have the Dan Quayle Speechwriter Robert Grady on the payroll)… No doubt they’ll impound the entire team at the airport if they get listed by the “Not so Friendly Skies” agency over at the TSA, which will no doubt make them as some kind of WMD. Well we have all had to endure or share of weird tornadoes and hurricanes weather to be bothered by a little hot air blowing in from Ohio State!
Despite the fact the TSA has been, up to this point, allowed to build their own secret data base on and steal the property of law abiding citizens in the flying public my money is still a bigger ballgame. I’m confident we will win in the end. God Bless America!
