Stumbling through a Backlog part 5

http://www.highexistence.com/mind-blowing-story-talking-to-god/
In a time when all our love for each other is leaving, when all goodwill is gone, when all the internet talks about is atheists versus christians, something like this comes along. I'm not sure if it's real or fake or just meant to be real, but it doesn't matter. This piece describes a conversation with a being that's pretty close to God talking about the evolution of civilizations with an atheist, and it's done very well. Maybe if enough people read this, we might have some advancement, and maybe that goodwill will come back. One can only hope.

Dear god, it's frankenbacteria? Huh. This is a pretty short article, but it's kinda awesome. Evidently a mad scientist has fully created a new DNA sequence that can replicate itself naturally. I guess the genetic revolution is here, so where the hell is my Bioshock-esque lighting hands? Jokes aside, this is amazing and can have spectacular implications for our life on this rock. A must read.

Want. That's pretty much all I can say about this interactive tabletop that lets people order from the table that seems pretty much like the iPad I'm writing this on. However, what does this mean for all the waiters? Are we going to start losing jobs to machines? Eh, I'll worry about it once the Republican Presidental Canidates start using it to beat down Ron Paul.
