Seldon Laboratories is a small nanotechnology company in Vermont run by an amazing young man named Chris Cooper. It is initially focused on using the unique properties of carbon nanotubes to develop water purifications systems. Inexpensive and highly effective at removing microorganisms from fluids without the use of heat, ultraviolet radiation, chemicals, contact time, or significant pressure; Seldon's purification systems could literally eliminate millions of human deaths every year caused by polluted drinking water. In addition, the technology is also potentially applicable to sea water desalinization.
Network Solutions is having a sale on URL's. Mine (http://www.douglasross.com) doesn't do anything at the moment (I'm saving it for a rainy day) but it was coming up on ten years and I needed to renew it to protect my name. So I decided to take them up on their pay-in-advance 20 year package sale for $279.00 or $13.95 per year (about half of the regular annual fee...probably not that good a deal in hindsight.) But the kicker was, after I hit the pay button it dawned on me that I'll be over 83 years old when this thing expires. How creepy is that? If I make it I'll take it as a good sign and re-up for another 20 years. And by then maybe I'll have done something with it.
