just a few things...

- You may have seen it on /. But... Find could transform electronics.

EDMONTON - A team from the University of Alberta has proven for the first time that a single molecule can switch electrical currents off and on, a puzzle that scientists worldwide have been trying to crack for decades.

So much awesome! Tiny tiny efficient computers in a few decades! *dances*

- In These Times discusses the leaked memo that's been huge news in the UK here.

At the 2002 meeting, the memo reveals that British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said, "It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action." However, Straw was also not convinced by the WMD argument, saying, "Saddam was not threatening his neighbours, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran." In public, Straw supported the official claim that Iraq's WMDs posed a threat that justified war.

... yeah. If you still haven't heard about the leaked memo and the war-spin preplanning... this is a good summary. Nobody's surprised.

- Summer camp starts next week, and sometimes writing code is entertaining. I get to make a medium-interesting computery thing for some appreciative edutech researchers, and that's always nice :)

- Let's go do something fun. It's time for something fun this weekend, damnit :)
