artificial photosynthesis

Image via WikipediaI already learned in secondary school, that the researcher, who is able to do artificial photosynthesis will become very very rich. Actually artificial mass photosynthesis might solve our energy problems.

This week I read on NewScientist Blog, that Chinese researchers found an possible way to do it using nanotubes - however they cannot do it yet.

I like the idea of artificial photosynthesis :)

Rubber Ducking

Yesterday I learned the paradigm "rubber ducking".
This sounds pretty funny but is a very powerful technique. Actually I guess most of you know this technique but never heard of the term rubber ducking. This name was created in the book "The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master" by AndrewHunt and DavidThomas.

Place a rubber duck on your monitor and describe your problems to it. There's something magical about stating your problems aloud that makes the solution more clear.

In other words: just try to say what your problem is and the problem may vanish.

Tooth2: The Age of Refilling

cool title, eh?
Well actually I just needed to fill up my previously filled tooth again. This stuff doesn't fall out at once. I just recognized that the temporal filling was shrinking. I guess it is just to soft for any abrasive action like chewing. Yesterday the hole was big enough again, so that rests of my food remained there. Time to fix it again! Well, I still have enough filling material though its not a big problem. I'm just wondering if the new layer and the old layer merge together. In 15 days I'll be back in Germany. I hope I don't have to repair my tooth again until then.
