Regenerative medicine.
I recently lost a filling with part of a tooth, which is probably what ultimately led me to watch this video.
Wouldn’t it be so cool to be able to have the body grow back part of itself? I mean, we should be able to do this anyway. Imagine going to the dentist and instead of drilling to put a hole in your tooth, so that they can fill it with whatever a filling is made out of, they drill and put in a gel. They seal over the top of that with a material to protect it, and they tell you to be careful about chewing on that side for a couple of weeks.
Within weeks, the hole is filled, and within a month or two, you basically have a new tooth.
How cool will it be when that is available?
Watch below.

Daily Mailbox Stalking
It’s so much fun to check our mailbox every day. Now that *most* of our invitations are out, the responses are coming in. Yesterday we got 4 back. And everyone is coming! YAY! Yes, it really is the little things that excite me.

Beatboxing on a tuba
The whole video is worth it, but it really gets cool about 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
Might have to turn up the volume slider in YouTube’s player to hear it.
So cool what creative people come up with.

Book Quiz
I borrowed this idea from my sister Michelle. Thanks M!
You’re Loosely Based!
by Storey Clayton
While most people haven’t heard of you, you’re a really good and
interesting person. Rather clever and witty, you crack a lot of jokes about the world
around you. You do have a serious side, however, where your interest covers the homeless
and the inequalities of society. You’re good at bringing people together, but they keep
asking you what your name means.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
Which book are you? Take the quiz.
Please comment with your results!!

Working Wednesday #12
I think this week I would like to be a personal trainer. This is how I would structure clients’ workouts.
What do you think? Sound about right?

Water power production
I found this idea really neat.
You know how if you put a hole at the bottom of a bucket, the water will naturally create a whirlpool to drain out of the hole at the bottom of the bucket?
Somebody came up with an idea to use the same concept for generating electricity. Fascinating!
