View From the Bushes

I graduated (I use this term loosely, more accurate would be to say I stuck around so long they finally kicked me out) from the University of Utah. Now when you hear that name, what do you think of? Probably lots of things, but if you're into science at all, somewhere in the top ten you're going to think of cold fusion, what has been referred to as the "greatest scientific hoax of the 20th century." Well as a University of Utah alum, I'm pleased to say, not so fast.

Popular Mechanics is running a story on cold fusion as a possible source of tritium and goes on to explain that in the 15 or so years cold fusion has spent in the physics doghouse quite a few interesting things have been discovered. I have to say that this is one area where it would be nice to restore some of the prestige that was lost in the last 15 years.

In other news, the Midnight adventure should be out any day now, assuming I can get the last little bugs worked out of the individual adventure ordering system. I had hoped to get it all hammered out over the weekend, but as usual everything took longer than I expected plus I'm still really sleepy. It always surprises me how long it takes to recover from serious sleep debt... Then of course, there's the wife, kids, family and last but not least my 9-5 job so that slows things down as well, but now I'm just being pathetic.
