One of the diamond cavities carved by the NIST team

With sizes is typically measured in micrometers, Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices are already being used in applications such as super-accurate sensors, energy-harvesting devices, and electronic signal amplifiers. Given how difficult it would be to replace such systems' moving parts as they wear out, it would be ideal if those parts could be made from as hard a material as possible. Well, while most MEMS are presently made chiefly of silicon, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are now on their way to making them from diamonds...

Earphones are sensitive things. When we investigated user reviews for our report on earphones, we ran across many complaints about durability. Now, you expect that in typical $10 earphones. Stuff them in a pocket or wrap them around your MP3 player, and they typically won't last beyond a few months. But even a mid-priced set praised by users and reviewers for sound quality, like the Klipsch Image S4, get users complaining of cable connectors popping out, earpieces dying and buttons malfunctioning within six months of ownership. Yet others have had theirs for years without problems. Why is that?

Researchers at Purdue University are developing a new type of computer memory that they claim could be faster than SRAM and use 99 percent less energy than flash memory. Called FeTRAM, for ferroelectric transistor random access memory, the new technology fulfills the three basic functions of computer memory; writing, reading and storing information for a long time. It is also a nonvolatile form of memory, meaning that it retains its data after the computer has been turned off. Its creators claim it has the potential to replace conventional memory systems...

Sometimes the light is just good.

Sometimes the light is good. In December you don't get many good light days and for some reasons I had the baby and not much more to do. We have a sunny corner in the Condo so I sat Nara down and started taking photos. She seemed to really enjoy it.

Right around the time we were gearing up for our recent body lotion report, the Federal Trade Commision (FTC) ruled, once again, that creams, serums and lotions cannot legally claim to make you skinny. (Nivea learned this the hard way in a $900,000 settlement in June.) But that doesn't mean they won't try.

Sifting through the half-truths and empty promises of hundreds of dollars worth of overpriced creams and treatments can be a harrowing and emotionally taxing ride. Far too often the thrill of potentially finding "The One," prevents consumers from seeing the truth. So let's just boil this down to the facts. Here's your cellulite primer:

Once in awhile I notice someone doing a particular task and wonder, "Why are they doing such a thing? Is it for monetary gain, self-fulfillment or something completely different?" These questions kept popping up prior to and following the TBEX '11 conference held in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada) this past summer.

For those of you not familiar with TBEX and their conferences - it is the Travel Blog Exchange and their conferences bring travel-related bloggers, writers and media professionals together - explaining how everyone can 'up their game'. There is a wealth of information to be gained during the sessions, but it's not always everyone's cup of tea.

Filed under: North America, United States, Photo of the Day, Video

Alaska's major glaciers are reported to be losing nearly 24 cubic miles every year, resulting in a landscape that's continually evolving and slowly melting away.

Filmmaker, ice climber, and Juneau native Alan Gordon decided to document these changes and capture places that may not exist for much longer in a film titled Blue Obsession. The clips in this trailer feature the Juneau Icefield; a 1,500 sq mi area which contains glaciers that range from 790ft to 4,600ft deep and ranks as the fifth-largest ice field in the Western Hemisphere.

The film recently won the "People's Choice" and the "Best of the South" awards in Alaska's Never Sets Film Festival, so hopefully the film will find its way down to the other 48 in the coming year.

Do you know of a great film that fellow travelers should see? Send it our way by leaving a comment below and it could be our next Video of the Day.

Visiting Family

Visiting Comox

My sister is a school teacher so after the school year finishes she gets to do the local travel thing. She organized a family weekend in Comox for the family to get together. My Grandparents (Nara's Great Grandparents) hadn't seen our latest addition so we were manditory attendance. Of course our first stop into town is the Grandparents house.

We discovered that Nara is quite good with new people! In fact, she seems to like to put on a show - more interactive with more smiles than we normally see.

My Aunt Jennifer graciously put on an afternoon garden party so that we had an excuse to get together and shoot the breeze. This was Nara's coming out party to a lot of people but Marcus was also new to a few people.

Being the first days of summer vacation, there was lots of energy by the older kids too.

Justin had just received a dirt bike so that got a demo. Consider it's built for kids - it sure does go fast! I wonder if Nara will get one she hits her teens?
