Good morning Orlando (the view from my room at the Hilton where Spooky Empire was held this year.)

A LIAR’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY - THE UNTRUE STORY OF MONTY PYTHON’S GRAHAM CHAPMAN Special 3-D Engagement!
Nov 2-8, Aero Theatre
Before Monty Python alum Graham Chapman’s death in 1989, he recorded himself reading his book, A Liar’s Autobiography. These recordings, both wildly hilarious and poignant, and covering everything from Chapman’s WWII upbringing and his open homosexuality to his years as a Python member and his battle with alcoholism, have ingeniously been used to provide his voice for this 3-D animated feature. Featuring fellow Pythons John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam playing themselves as well as other characters.

MIT’s artificial leaf is ten times more efficient than the real thing
The device is an advanced solar cell, no bigger than a typical playing card, which is left floating in a pool of water. Then, much like a natural leaf, it uses sunlight to split the water into its two core components, oxygen and hydrogen, which are stored in a fuel cell to be used when producing electricity.
Nocera’s leaf is stable — operating continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity in preliminary tests — and made of widely available, inexpensive materials — like silicon, electronics and chemical catalysts. It’s also powerful, as much as ten times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural leaf.
With a single gallon of water, Nocera says, the chip could produce enough electricity to power a house in a developing country for an entire day. Provide every house on the planet with an artificial leaf and we could satisfy our 14 terrawatt need with just one gallon of water a day.SCIENCE.
I, too, welcome our incoming Synthetic future
YEAH! SCIENCE!
I wrote a short piece about my Inspiring Scare for SlasherStudios.com. Of course, my Inspiring Scare is A Nightmare on Elm Street (which is why I’m using a photo of Heather Langenkamp and I from last year. :D)
On a related, but oh so geeky, note, I’m very excited for Spooky Empire this weekend!! It’s my birthday on Friday and Heather’s going to be at the con and I’m hoping that I can get a photo with her and Brooke Theiss (Just the Ten of Us love, y’all.) The ultimate, but improbable, thing would be to get a photo with her, Brooke Theiss, and Sid Haig. (Sid Haig was Janitor Bob in Just the Ten of Us and unlike all of my brethren, THAT was my intro to him.)
IT’S THE CLOSEST I’LL EVER GET TO A TEN OF US REUNION!! :D
