When you think ‘aerogel,’ think unbelievable - The most expensive chemical substance known to man, more than safron, etc. For example: “Silica aerogel holds 15 entries in the Guinness Book of Records for material properties …” and “it is very strong structurally, able to hold over 2000 times its own weight” oh … it’s “90-99.8%” air, so it’s also almost transparent. Unreal.
If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

A Book about Gatorade? - It’s unbelievable to me that someone can write a book about Gatorade … nevertheless, I find the topic rather interesting. How do you leverage a sweetened beverage into a multibillion dollar industry? The thing is: Gatorade doesn’t seem to include any potassium anymore, which would explain why the sodium in it makes me so thirsty.)
Project Gotham 3 - It’s not some virtual-morality thing, but I don’t like to shoot people as a part of my games. So, that explains why Project Gotham racing, with “some of the most beautiful visuals ever to grace a console game” appeals to me. Dan? XBox 360, then this game? I’ll wait.
