I’ve been reading a lot about carbon nanotubes lately. (Specifically, I’m reading The Space Elevator, which is fascinating despite the sketchy writing style.)

UPDATE: Deb noticed that I had the wrong link. It’s been corrected.

Don’t worry, it’s not a flash comic of the situation. It’s just a transcript of a funny SNL skit.
Look at the cute little rhinovirus!
Sorry, no other updates lately. The world just hasn’t been interesting enough. :)
That’s just plain funny.
