picking up after new years

Hello there you seldom readers. Some times I wonder why I even bother to write it this blog... nobody cares.
I guess that's why :)
I haven't been here updating the usual good news I find around. Why? it's been hard on me and my available time. Not that the good news have stopped in any case. Just couldn't get them to you... I was too blured...
Picking up pace, here are some:

Society:
-Thermochromic toilet seat. The object retains the heat memory of a previous user and displays it as a visual marker for the next user to assess.
-Elise Frappier. “Mac Chick of the Month” (Jan 2008). I just had to post this.... Not because she's pretty, not because she's hot (this is not a porno blog guys!), not because of the mac, not because of her taste in movies and anime, not because she's canadian, not because of her musical taste, not because of her pets, not because of her work, not because of her hobbies... but because of all of the above. Are there any more of these around???

Ecology:
-Why Isn't Antarctica Melting? A Tough Nut for Climate Scientists – and Haven for Global Warming Denialists.

Me:
Yes, for those who [really] know me, thins have gotten better, everyday a little more :D and dreams rebuilt. Now... if that's not a good news, I don't know what is! :p
Here are some photos of my new years eve:
