New Calendar Proposal.

Remembering dates will still escape most of us.

Astrophysicist Richard Conn Henry and applied economist Steve Hanke of Johns Hopkins University have proposed a new calender system to better keep dates in line. Most of us now are use to the current system where a date will fall on a different day of the week. Christmas will always be on the same date, however may be on Monday one year and Wednesday the next. The proposed system would keep that holiday on the same day year after year.

True Holograms at Last!

The joys of laser plasma tech.

From the early days of Sci-Fi the public has been shown the heavy use of full 3d holographic displays. Many of us who grew up seeing them in Star Wars, Star Trek and other works of science fiction have had this itch to see them in day to day use. We are not talking the 2d holograms projected on a special glass or anything, we're talking full blown free floating 3d images here. Thankfully those days are coming sooner than you think.
