Everywhere I look the future is happening

Ok, so it is the current top slot on Digg.com: Futurama has officially been renewed for another season. Humans are excited for the future.

Since the beginning of this sport of TV, the networks never renew series.
Ideas come and go, and when they're gone.
The truth: things like the stories of Serenity from people like Wheadon and Futurama are ahead of their time.

But they follow the pattern because they came back.
Sure, that only happened because of the internet, but still.
The Lone Gunman was never renewed, and sort of fits the category here.


The other piece of news comes from a new favorite blog to supplement the readers of Doktor Sleepless. The article originates from New Scientist. A rather dense blog to supplement the magazine of the same name (to which I'd like to subscribe).

Apparently the kids in the science faculty I used to belong to at York have proposed a supertall structure design.
It uses hollow, flexible tubes and lightweight gas to create a pneumatically grown tower.
This is really got me excited.
If we can start working the kinks out with this project than we'll be really prepared with some new ways of thinking when carbon nanotube technology becauses viable.

These new ways of thinking are critical.
