OK... as I can't sleep I may as well do something constructive, so here's an update... featuring the work of renowned Japanese chemist Nakamichi Yamasaki (see below). I know I have been rather slack on updates lately but rest assured there are some quite interesting topics of interest in the pipline (such as solar sail craft). In the meantime, doozers rule! And some interesting shots of Dubya during his latest coke binge! ! |

Humankind's evolution from a carbon based to hydrogen based economy - the difficult, enormously complicated, unavoidably necessary process that will be remembered in history as a greater undertaking than our initial forays into outer space - is slowly, yet surely, taking shape.
It is an extraordinarily malleable era for us, as proven by continual technological and social challenge to the post Cold War political order, where for the first time in human history, the concept of a sustainable civilisation, capable of the reforming that is a constant in an ever changing universe, is within our grasp. With the greatest explosion of consumer power ever witnessed, the resources at our command present a window of opportunity, a brief sliver, to engage the enormous challenges that surround and threaten to engulf us in the manner of vast and unending night, to rapproachment with the natural world that sustains the brief flicker of sentient existence, to the possibilty that we can sleep at night in reasonable hope for all that we hold dear.
In recognition of the constant emergence of new technologies that ostensibly seek to provide a better future for humankind, it is our aim to serve the provision of an exegesis for the socio-economic challenges that our ever changing circumstances present.
It is hoped that the information put forward in this atelier will be helpful, of an objective nature, and dedicated to the principles stated above.
And so, as I think Kurt Vonnegut wrote, or contended, "forward, march."
