Best news I’ve heard all month: Toonami returns May 26 on Adult Swim. I can only imagine the level of rabid enthusiasm on Williams St. right now, especially since someone who cut their teeth making Toonami programming just got a big promotion.

RIP Toonami

And now we can close the book on one of the stupidest points of contention in this entire case. Did George Zimmerman actually get his ass kicked by a 17-year old kid? Yes. Yes he did.

A medical report by George Zimmerman's family doctor shows that the neighborhood watch volunteer was diagnosed with a fractured nose.

Thanks to the Patriot Act, none of us Rochester residents knew that Kodak had a nuclear reactor hidden deep in the depths of its Rochester campus, no doubt a key component of their diabolical LIVEPrint Printer series.

UnEasyshare: Kodak’s now-defunct, Rochester-based nuclear reactor: Engadget

ImageReady for this unsettling Kodak moment? It seems the one-time imaging powerhouse held a decades-long secret deep in a bunker below Building 82 on its Rochester campus. The now vacant facility, a concrete-shielded chamber built in 1974, was once home to a californium neutron flux multiplier (CFX) or, in layman’s terms, a small nuclear reactor as recently as six years ago. Certainly, that’s not the technology one would normally associate with an outfit built on the foundations of photography, but according to recently released documents, its three and a half pound store of enriched uranium was used primarily for neutron radiography — an imaging technique — and chemical purity testing. The site’s long been shut down and the radioactive material in question carted off with federal oversight, but for denizens of that upstate New York territory, alarming news of the reactor’s existence has only just surfaced. Before you cast Kodak the evil side eye, bear in mind post-9/11 policies forbade the company from making the whereabouts of its small reactor widely known, though earlier scientific studies did make reference to the CFX’s existence. It’s an eye-opening glimpse into the esoteric machinations of private industry and the deadly dangers that lurk below your feet.

What Is?

Hey! I'm Mike, this is my blog. and my dream is to use my middling tech skills to make the world a better place (not in the techno-libertarian, "the world is a better place if I get mine" sense, but in the actual, "I want to help" sense).
