~bartender? Hot Chocolate alone won't do it tonight. Maybe add a
Scotch, an Ardbeg Corryvreckan, maybe? Thanks.

Every so often I think I'm not going to be surprised ever again.
But it happened last week:

I read an article on the IT ticker about "not charging your
$favorite_toy for 50 years". No kidding. Radio-nuclide batteries
based on Nickel-63. Ok, it's small and cute and it may not power
your $favorite_toy for a long time, but you get it. So, homo
sapiens is clever enough to add yet another dimension to the not so
small waste and garbage problem: radioactivity.
Seriously. If it can be done, it will be done. Sigh.

Unbelievable.

> me staring out the window, wondering.

Maybe it's not all that bad, if an out-of-control army of nano
robots just mines the earth away for whatever atoms they have been
trained ...
