John McCain's so old that when G-d said, 'Let us create Man in our image,' he was talking to McCain over SMS.

In the worlds before McCain, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order. But the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essences of Heaven, the moisture of the Earth, the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. And it became magically...

"Prototype contact lenses that include LEDs and circuits could become a tiny personal display. Babak Parviz wears contact lenses. But he's not yet using the new contact lenses he's made in his Seattle laboratory. Containing electronic circuits, they look like something from a science fiction movie. He's now going to add some extremely small light emitting diodes (LEDs), helping turn his prototype contact lenses into a sophisticated personal display - the tiniest one possible."

that can't be good for one's health. fascinating though

How would it be bad for your health Cee Bee? Maybe it might screw with your vision some, but what else would it affect?

It would be the a great heads up display, but I don't know if you would be able to track eye movement to select things on the display. The gyroscopes on the lens would have to be almost nano.

i'm not sure but placing some electronic object of that sort directly over one's retina may have its side effects. then again, i've been on this laptop for the past 6 hours and my balls are frying

I'm totally ready for augmented reality, but I think i'll let other guinea pigs work out the kinks in the system first...

hmm, not a fan of this nor of a cattle prod being plugged into the back of my head. though something like "The Thirteenth Floor" would work

@Phil: That's exactly what I thought of when I saw the photo. I want!

Very interesting. Gartner predicts that human augmentation will evolve over the next 10 years to the point where it will be feasible to enhance the performance or sensory abilities of healthy individuals. In other words, medical techniques such as sensory transference, direct brain interfaces, and nerve mapping will be used not just to restore physical deficiencies, but to enhance healthy people beyond “normal”.

Whoa... cool. But really, heads up display, blah blah blah... i want my eyes to glow in the dark. Then I'll really be able to fight crime with my intimidating stare!

I'd be happy with augmented reality embedded in my glasses... I'm not much of a contacts guy anyway.

Next step would be flashing contacts like those aftermarket lights underneath cars.

Should give these away with Kraftwerk's-Man Machine Music. Way cool-I want some.

Just add a tiny wireless receiver, and you'll get special promotions of chips and nylon socks flashed on you contact lenses when you walk past Walmart.

Now if it can be a camera and take a frame every time I blink I'm in.

Thomas: If you're blinking, you're going to get a bunch of dark photos :P

i look forward to the day when my contact lens overlords control all that i survey

My two questionable cents: (1) power supply and (2) cooling. Much like current artificial eyes, but way harder to solve.

"Your childhood chocolate was a kiss or a chunk, a drugstore bar or a bunny at Easter. Like you, chocolate’s all grown up and is far more interesting now. We tested the confections for you (no need to say thanks!) and recommend these greats."

The L. A. Burdick store in Walpole, NH (1st on the list) is a great place to visit, too. We got some chocolates there last Christmas for family. Definitely highly recommended!

"THERE’S a lot of noise and flash in “Mamma Mia!” — both the show and the movie. But the three women responsible — for both the show and the movie — seemed restrained enough as they sat down to what one of them called “a proper English tea” on Central Park South last month."

For some favorite pics from the past 3 days, try http://friendfeed.com/mitchel.... My teeth are super-lousy with very weak tooth enamel. If I don't take care of them, my next dentist visit has 4-6 cavities. :-(

I *JUST* saw the same sign at a bar in Key West last week.

Thanks, Maxine, I pass the greetings to Anna. Yeah, that is one reason for the movies, but we are watching a lot of movies or YouTube videos together for any occasion.
