A few items of interest... I recently purchased an item called a Creative PC-300 CAM, a webcam and digital camera. The price was a bargain - $115 Cdn. It takes 128 high resolution pictures (640 x 480), 255 low resolution pictures (320 x 240), 75 seconds of video, and about 34 minutes of audio only. It can take 5 high speed high res pix in a row, and has a timer. It also functions as a web camera.
Another book I want to read is Francis Fukuyama's Our Posthuman Future: Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution. Biotechnology is a hot research topic on our campus right now, in areas as diverse as chemical engineering and biological sciences. Fukuyama created a stir when he published an article called The End of History in The National Interest, Summer 1989. Three years later he expanded the discussion into a book called The End of History and the Last Man.Read the introduction. I haven't read the book, but a review can be found here.
What's up with this? Is this real? I didn't believe it at first, but damn it if you can't buy the gobbler at CD NOW. And Lesley Gore's website mentions it too. Lesley Gore singing Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap? Don Ho singing Shock the Monkey? It's the end of the world as we know it.
