Hi everybody. I know I haven’t been around much lately. I got pretty burned out and been busy with other projects.
I don’t really even have the time to post a full diary right now, but wanted to let you all know about a science story I just read. Researchers at UCLA have engineered a bacterium to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into liquid isobutanol through photosynthesis. Isobutanol is a liquid fuel which can be used in place of gasoline, even in cars. So, this could help remove CO2 from the atmosphere while also providing us with an energy source which can fit in with our current energy infrastructure.
Other unrelated random stuff across the break.
Random stuff:
My parents got a new artificial tree this year and would like to know where they might donate their old artificial tree. Their church doesn’t want it. Any ideas?
I have learned a singing technique from central Asia called khoomei. Also known as Tuvan throat singing, khoomei is a type of overtone singing that enables the singer to produce two or more distinct pitches at the same time. If you are interested, you can check out my YouTube account to hear me sing.
If you are looking for holiday gifts, I have T-shirt designs on zazzle including the world famous Grumposaurus Rex.
Lastly, I have posted a new demo on my voice acting page. If you are interested, give a listen and tell me what you think.
Thanks, everybody. And happy holidays (oh no! I took the Christ out of Christmas! This means WAR!).
