Wired News: Chips Coming To A Brain Near You

For someone who's deepest personal fears include Alzheimer's disease, this is a very encouraging idea.

Wired reports on some archaeological investigations that remind me of Barry Lopez' Desert Notes, which I was introduced to via the reading nights that my Oregonian friends have on an irregular basis.

Glarked from one of those ubiquitous LJ "friend-of-a-friend" connections.

Wired article: On the Trail of the Analemma

(No, analemmae have no connection to lemmas; I just enjoyed that subject line. They are also, as far as I know, unrelated to lemmings. :> )

A cool thing for amateur observational astronomers, especially those that don't like staying up nights to do their observations. :)

A somewhat detailed list of my anticipated positions on the ballot measures and candidates.

This is likely to be of direct interest mostly to those that also reside in California. I am actively soliciting commentary on any of these items--most especially those for which I have not yet posted my intended decision, or for which that decision is marked as "tentative"--and in particular on California Measures 60 and 62 (primaries).

As comments come in, I may edit (mostly append to) the existing entry, if my positions change.

There is a good chance that I will be voting absentee this year, so if you got sumpin' to say, say it soon. :)

I can't find candidate statements for the US Rep or the California Assembly/Senate candidates. Anyone?

Update:

The candidates )

The ballot measures )
