[stoneyface]

3 stories today. first up is a slightly pointless but kinda cool story about the worlds smallest periodic table. a scientist engraved the periodic table onto one of his own hairs! seriously! read about it here: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2374796,00.asp

next is about one of my favorite things, NORTHERN LIGHTS! the aurora borealis is awesome and cool and rare! i have been very lucky in my life and see it 3 times. each time cooler than the first. well there is an article today talking about how increased solar storm activity could bring more norther light sightings further south than normal. read about it here: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/96072/20101229/solar-flares-could-make-auroras-visible-further-south.htm

finally from the fun files (alliteration is fun d'oh!) this piece about the best 2010 tech tales from the tech trenches (see i told you). this is from infoworld and it features the best stories of 2010. read it here: http://www.infoworld.com/d/adventures-in-it/2010s-best-tales-the-tech-trenches-869
