MIT gurus use polyethylene to suck heat away from your next CPU
Man, MIT is making all of these other places of higher learning look silly. For what seems like the fortieth time this month, scientists at the university have revealed yet another breakthrough that might just change the way we compute in the future. Polyethylene, which is about as common a polymer as they come, could very well become a vital part of the way your next processor is cooled, as MIT boffins have figured out how to cause said polymer to "conduct heat very efficiently in just one direction, unlike metals, which conduct equally well in all directions." If you're still struggling to figure out why this matters, have a listen at this: "this may make the new material especially useful for applications where it is important to draw heat away from an object, such as a computer processor chip." In fact, even Intel is taking notice of the development, though no one's saying outright when exactly this stuff will leave the lab and hit Dell's supply chain. There's no time like the present, guys.[Thanks, Kevin]

In the Dentist's Chair (With Cruel Contraption) -- B&W (4 of 4) #draw365
While I was in Jeff Eitzman's chair having a back molar reconstructed, I was drawing a portrait of him at the same time.
Because of that, I kept moving my head. And Jeff had to keep nudging it back into place.
So I came up with this invention... a strap that goes over the patient's head, with a massive handle to give the dentist leverage to manhandle the head into the exact position the dentist requires the head to be in.
Neat, huh?
Jeff laughed at the idea. But said it was unnecessary.
Well heck... just cos HE'S kind and compassionate to his patients doesn't mean OTHER DENTISTS aren't brutes, right?
Let's make MONEY out of this cruel device!
These four pics started out as black and white drawings in my PaperBlanks Moleskine-substitute notebook. I drew them while Jeff was working in my mouth. The colour-work came later, in PhotoShop CS3.

Jeff Eitzman -- Uber Dentist -- B&W (2 of 4)
Thanks to @MarkStraw for recommending Jeff Eitzman to me.
Jeff's a brilliant dentist. He takes a lot of time to get to understand his patients' mouths. And then he takes the right, considered, skillfully executed action.
In November, a relatively new filling applied by 'Dentist X' in Fourways fell out. I sought opinions from friends. One bud recommended 'Dentist Y' near Cresta/Northcliff. The filling lasted exactly three days. Another bud -- the aforementioned Twitter-bud, @JackStraw -- gave me Jeff's number.
A good sign is that Jeff was booked up till February. But his mom, who runs the reception at the practice, popped me onto a cancellation list.
When I finally got a booking in mid-December, Jeff spent two hours with me, investigating WHY this problem filling kept falling out. He devised a treatment plan. Lined my cavity with a hardening substance, put a temp filling over that, and told me to come back in two months once the hardening agent had cured.
When I got back to his chair in mid-February, just before my bithday, he got to work on the real business of giving me a lasting filling. He completely reconstructed my tooth, using about four separate layers of material, including strategically-placed metal screws that he embedded in some of the substrate.
This filling is incapable of falling out. Furthermore, he constructed it in such a way that it does NOT trap food in the crevice. Previous dentists who botched this tooth also botched the crevice.
The tooth is still sensitive. But every day it's settling down more. The reason it's sensitive is cos the cavity was so deep that the drilling went very close to the nerve. Jeff's treatment philosophy begins with 'First do no harm', followed by, 'If we can save the nerve, we'll do that', followed by, 'The natural tooth material is the best material for your mouth'.
The dude is a sculptor. I recommend him fiercely.

GSN’s “Baggage” Greenlit; 40 Episodes Taping
This is about as official of a confirmation as you need. Casting websites like RealityWanted are hunting people for GSN’s new dating game show Baggage. Last post I saw said they were looking for at least 200 people, and each gets $500. The latest one, on RealityWanted, is saying the show is taping 40 episodes and I’ve heard rumors about this one for a while, so this is just about as firm of a go as you can ask for before putting out a press release.
Baggage appears to be a pseudo-dating game where contestants are called upon by different levels of “baggage” they have, like living at home, having lots of cats, etc. I made fun of the show before because a ton of casting calls said contestants won’t go on a date and they don’t need to be single. They just have to appear single. I bet one of those $500 appearance fees that they harp on the singles factor despite this. RealityWanted says it’s not a dating show but a show about dating. Sorry, you know as well as I do that it’s a dating show and this just an easy way to get out of hunting down 200+ singles that the GSN audience can care about. And looking over the format, this looks unbelievably similar to the MTV dating show Singled Out. Anyone remember that one? It’s a very guilty pleasure of mine from the 90s. It’s got Jenny McCarthy in it, and anything with her is automatically awesome and if you dare say no I will come and hurt you. Very funny show. Take a look.
No official network confirmation yet but this is just about as official as you can get. Think this’ll go any better than their massive failures that have plagued them for just around two years? If they can keep it light, fun, and funny than I think it can. If they either decide to tense it up or make it really corny and cheesy, I’m not so sure.
