World Community Grid

Just wanted to plug good cause. For the cost of some electricity you can let your computer do some good for the planet. The World Community Grid is an organization supported by IBM. The current projects are involved in improving the quality of rice as a food sourc,cancer research, and sevee It uses the time your computer  would be idle to allow research to be done that would normally take a supercomputer to do. It does this by assigning small piece of a large problem to many computers. The work ends up being as much more quickly than would otherwise be possible. SETI@Home and  Folding@Home are probably two of the more widely known projects of this type. Folding at home can even use your PS3.

I think I have a new favorite weird video.

Its pretty dark actually and not for kids. There is a bit of bad language in the middle.

I think it captures creepy better than a lot of movies do.

My Niece

This is a picture of my niece Julia.  She appears to be "chillin" in the crib.    My brother says he did not pose her.  She is about 3 weeks old in this picture.

This is a slide show of my entire collection of cthulhu related art
