Here we go again.... :)

You know... I have to write here an article on how to make a PhD.... Just for kicks. I tell you, when I first started this thing, if I knew then what I know now..... Well, that's life :) a process of learning. And while I should be writing my thesis instead of these lines, hummm.... I'll just leave a quick compilation of some good news :D

Technology:
-Harvard spinout licenses 'black silicon' patents. This technology development brings a material that absorbs nearly twice the visible light of regular silicon and detects infrared light that is normally invisible to silicon based devices. This capability that allows for performance enhancements in applications ranging from simple light detection to advanced digital imaging and solar energy.
-Robot does household chores. I need one of these... Bad!

Science:
-Runners burn more calories – even at rest. When at rest the extra fuel was being "wasted", and turned into heat.... That explains a lot of things and why I burn so much...

Society:
World's heaviest man marries in Mexico. This is just curious...

Photography:
-Days of Autumn. Collected here are 34 photos of the season, from around the world.

Portugal:
-Colo do útero: Vacinação de adolescentes começa hoje. Isto é... dia 27 de Outubro :p
-Sócrates quer aumentar salário mínimo e diz que a sua relação com Cavaco está "excelente". Sei que sou optimista, mas gostaria de ver esses 450€....
