Sign Wave in Wasilla, Alaska! - Freezing for Freedom - Pictures:
We had a sign wave in Wasilla (yes Sarah Palins home town) today and there was probably like 15 people there!
Which is good, considering it was probably around 10 degrees (wind chill included).

Paris restaurant invites an amateur cook to become head chef each night
Paris restaurant invites an amateur cook to become head chef each night:
France is a country renowned for its culinary tradition, yet these traditions show no sign of standing in the way of innovation. We recently saw Restolib turn Paris restaurant kitchens into spaces for cooking classes after hours, and now Un Jour, Un Chef is going one step further and allowing amateurs to realise their dreams of becoming head chef for one night.
Situated near Bastille Square in the French capital, the 50-cover restaurant has its own team of experts, including concept creator and chef Ludovic Dalavaud, who will offer advice to each day’s cook. The new chefs have creative control over ingredients, menu design and the cooking process, with help from the professionals, and by the evening they will be serving up their creations to friends and family, as well as a judging public. The chef’s role is free for participants, who apply via the website and can get involved as much or as little as they like depending on experience and confidence. Diners will get a starter, main course and desert for EUR30, as well as the possibility of getting the first taste of undiscovered talent – the restaurant aims to be a place to nurture the future of global cuisine.
A unique way for food-lovers to fulfil their dreams of putting on the head chef’s hat, Un Jour, Un Chef is a fun and challenging way to engage customers with the industry. Could this be replicated around the globe?

Will 3D printers lead toward nanofactories?
Will 3D printers lead toward nanofactories?:
The coming era of atomically precise manufacturing will provide digital control of the structure of matter for a very wide range of possible products and will make possible personal manufacturing of most products. Steps toward digital control of the structure of matter and personal manufacturing, although on a scale much less precise than atomic and for a much more limited range of products, are to be seen with today’s rapidly developing 3D-printing technology. Rival technologies were on display a few weeks ago in Las Vegas. From BBC News “CES 2012: 3D printer makers’ rival visions of future” by Leo Kelion:
With a whir and a click the job is done. In the space of 20 minutes a plastic bottle opener has been constructed by the Replicator – a 3D printing machine capable of making objects up to the size of a loaf of bread.
The device is made by the New York start-up Makerbot Industries and was launched this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The newly-created bottle opener feels warm to the touch and has to be prised away from its base.
It has been created by using extrusion technology – a process in which a spindle of plastic thread is unravelled, melted and fed through a print head which draws the object layer by layer – in this case at a rate of 40mm per second. …
Objects can be created on a computer using free online software such as TinkerCAD or Google Sketchup, before being transferred to the Replicator on a SD memory card.
Alternatively other people’s designs can be downloaded from Makerbot’s community website Thingiverse. …
Take a walk to the other side of the convention centre and you will find another plastic printer maker with another new product, but a very different way of thinking.
3D Systems is a North Carolina-based veteran of the business.
“We invented 3D printers,” its Israeli-born chief executive Abe Reichental says.
“For 25 years we have taken the classic journey of taking expensive, complex technology and bringing it down in price.
“We have about 1,000 workers worldwide. We are a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. We have almost as many patents as employees.”
The firm is at CES to publicise the launch of Cube, its first consumer-focused product.
The $1,299 device is smaller than Makerbot’s but looks more user-friendly, utilising cartridges rather than spools of plastic thread.
It also boasts its own app store. The launch library includes software to customise belt buckles, a program to turn your voice into a bracelet design, and perhaps most excitingly software from developer Geomagic for Microsoft’s Kinect sensor that allows the peripheral to replicate the user’s face. …
Philippe Van Nedervelde, Foresight’s Executive Director-Europe, contributes his thoughts on the significance of current developments in 3D printers,

-http://fabbaloo.com/blog/2012/1/6/secret-cubify-project-to-be-unveiled.htmlThe era of Personal 3D Printing for consumers [has officially started], it seems. And what with its existing track record of excellence plus the slew of key 3D printing companies it has been buying up the company 3D Systems is well poised to become the IBM, Apple, or HP of this new space. (25 years from now, someone should kick me if I do not buy any shares now.)
My sense is that this launch is a close analog to the start-of-an-era-marking launch of the first PC by IBM on August 12, 1981. In some ways, a possibly even closer analog may be the launch of the original Mac on January 24, 1984.
Very interesting times ahead!…

Perhaps Philippe is not exaggerating the significance of this emerging personal manufacturing technology. Personal manufacturing of plastic consumer items may accelerate developing productive nanosystems to make possible personal manufacturing of complex atomically precise consumer products.

Current nanotechnology too cool to ignore
Current nanotechnology too cool to ignore:
For something a little different from our usual fare, the superhydrophobic spray-on coating illustrated in this YouTube video is too cool to ignore: Ross Nanotechnology’s NeverWet superhydrophobic spray-on coating. A white tennis shoe protected with their fabric coating remained spotless as heavy chocolate syrup poured on the shoe raced away. The video caption says consumer products will be available in early 2012, but the NeverWet web site seems focused on industrial partnerships for various applications, like anti-icing and anti-corrosion coatings. As someone too clumsy to avoid stains and too lazy to clean them, I could grow to like a fabric spray. Their anti-bacterial coatings could be especially useful in minimizing the spread of drug-resistant bacteria.

Don’t Overlook Telecommuting Opportunities
Don’t Overlook Telecommuting Opportunities:
Freelancers are constantly on the look-out for new clients. But one thing we often overlook are opportunities in telecommuting.
Telecommuting, strictly speaking, is not the same as freelancing. Telecommuters are employees but are able to perform their work at home, or anywhere else. Sometimes, telecommuters need to report to the office for meetings. Other times, not at all.
More and more companies are using telecommuting arrangements to save money otherwise spent on office maintenance, employ talent from out of town, and enjoy the other advantages that telecommuting offers.
Recently, I accepted a telecommuting position. At first, I was hesitant because I consider myself a freelancer 100%. But after much thought and prayer, I realized the opportunity met all the items on my “Yes” list.
Why You May Want To Telecommute
Here are the benefits of telecommuting that I’ve noticed so far:
- Regular income
For freelancers, this can be a good thing, and it can also be a bad thing. If the telecommuting job means you’re not able to accept freelancing clients anymore, then you are, in effect, limiting your income. On the other hand, other freelancers may be willing to make that sacrifice in exchange for a predictable and stable income. Also consider that you will no longer have to spend as much time, money, and energy marketing yourself to make the same income.
- Logistical support
As a telecommuter, you’ll be required to have a basic office setup, such as a computer and Internet connection. However, employers are willing to cover additional logistical requirements you need, such as certain software. In some areas, employers of telecommuters are even required to insure their employee’s home offices (check your local laws).
- Being part of a team
Freelancing is lonely. When you telecommute, you become part of a team, even if you’re all working from your homes. For me, just knowing the whole success or failure of a project doesn’t fall solely on my shoulders is a good feeling.
Where To Find Telecommuting Jobs
My telecommuting job found me. The company owner discovered me through a Google search (so optimize your websites, people!).
However, when I became aware of this opportunity, I dug deeper and found so many other opportunities. Flexjobs.com is an online repository of telecommuting and part-time jobs. You need to pay a monthly fee to access the details of job openings. I also found some telecommuting jobs in AWAI‘s job board, which also includes vacancies from Flexjobs.com.
Most of the opportunities I’ve seen are for programmers, writers, and sales professionals, but the skills required are wide.
Is Telecommuting For You?
What do you think? Would you be happy as a telecommuter? What excites you about it? What don’t you like about the thought?
Let me know what’s on your mind. Post a comment below.
