Something to Think About

    The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.
    Solomon Ibn Gabriol


    For a life that is sound and secure, cultivate a thorough insight into things and discover their essence, matter, and cause; put your whole heart into doing what is just, and speaking what is true; and for the rest, know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.

    Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action.

Great Nanotechnology Overview

KQED has a great, brief overview video on Nanotechnology and its promises. “Nanotechnology” is a very loaded, over-hyped term which becomes almost useless in discussions without some larger context.
I like to think of Nanotechnology in two broad areas:

  • Creating new material properties from modifying the atomic structure existing properties.
  • Building new “machines” from the ground up based on engineering at the nanoscale level.

KQED does a nice job of explaining both while giving a general introduction on the topic.
