i will be building one of these…once i learn how to build things.

yay! AMC just greenlit the Walking Dead comic book as a series helmed by Frank Darabont.  should be quality considering it’s on AMC…

you know i’m gonna love something like this…

Batman meets Squid!

Store one terabit of data for a billion years on this one square-inch array of carbon nanotubes.

“Zettl hastens to point out that this system is only the core element of a potential commercial storage device, and that additional necessary components could have shorter lifetimes, lowering the total longevity. But, he says, “Whether it’s stable for 1 million years or 1 billion years, this very small, very high-density component still has an excellent archival timescale associated with it.” Indeed, if the system does store information for a billion years, it seems unlikely we will be present to confirm it: Scientists estimate complex plant and animal life on Earth may only persist for another 500 million years or so. After that, an aging Sun and plummeting levels of atmospheric CO₂ should transform our blue-green planet into a dismal brown orb—though that’s probably cold comfort for anyone whose every Facebook and Flickr foible could be immortalized within some descendant of Zettl’s system.”

being as data storage with an eye to the future is not only a hobby but my job, i think this is interesting stuff.  it’s also sadly ironic as earlier this evening i was pricing 1 TB harddrives that will be useless in 5 years.  :(

this prettymuch sums up what i imagine my first encounter will be like with a giant squid.  i have to admit i’ve never even THOUGHT about space squids…  oh the possibilities!

We should all line up and give this song an unending series of high-fives.
