If you ever sat in your car during a car wash and wondered how many people forget to roll up their windows before the car wash, this takes it way past that. This is yet another example of people being overloaded. Slow down people. Life is short! No need to deal with a damp trunk.
Here is a good look at BioWare’s Dragon Age II. Personally, I am looking forward to the sequel. I hope it achieves the hype it has attained so far. I used the rogue class in Dragon Age Origins. I am definitely looking forward to the changes for this class. Are you getting this one?
Yesterday during DICE Morhaime confirmed Blizzard was actively investigating whether or not Diablo 3 should get the console treatment, “I think you could make an argument that a game like Diablo might play very well on a console,” he said. “It’s something that we’re actually doing an investigation into to see if that could make sense.”

From my point of view this makes totally sense! But I am not Blizzard. Personally, I was a die-hard PC fan for everything: gaming, browsing, and programming. Today it seems like I only code on my PC. So Blizzard, if you make it they will come.:)
Would you play Diablo 3 on a console?
I first thought this was unbelievable, but this is true. It sounds like something out of a western but a Morgan Dollar can be used to purify water.
This is the only coin in history that literally saved lives. It was made of 0.900 silver from the mines in Nevada. This silver purified the water that the American cowboys drank. This was done by the cowboys dropping the Morgan Dollar into their canteen at the later part of the 19th century. This still works today if you need it to.

This fascinated me when I first saw it. I doubt I would have a Morgan Dollar around if I am stranded somewhere, but its nice to know that it could save me. Morgan Dollars were minted from 1878–1904 and 1921. So there are still a lot out there to collect. Happy hunting.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. An except from Wikipedia is below:
Silver nanoparticles are excellent anti-bacterial material and they can decompose toxic halo-organic compounds such as pesticides into non-toxic organic products.
I was just telling a friend about this post the other day. I wanted to see if there was a response to my comment. My bad, that I didn’t notice this. Thanks so much for the wikipedia link!!! I’m still blown away that this actually works.
Take care.

You’re welcome! I always love cool facts like this. Remembering things like this could save your life someday. You never know.
I was in awe after I saw this video. Google has done a great job with its new version of the Android SDK codename Honeycomb. The video chat feature in this demo blew me away. I have an iPad , and after looking at this I am seriously thinking about giving the iPad to my son. I don’t need a toy, I want an Android table instead. Sorry Apple, but that is how I feel right now. I know, I may not be fairly comparing the iPad that I have to the tablet in the demo.
This video is close to 53 minutes. Its worth checking out. It provide a great demo of the new features Honeycomb has to offer.
To try to level the playing field I did a little homework. There is an ‘add on’ kit for a camera. In other words more money out of your pocket for video chat on the iPad. Apple’s platform is closed versus Google’s open one. Any application sold in the Apple’s AppStore has to be approved by Apple. I have yet to hear or read about the need for approval in the Android Marketplace. There isn’t an SDK available for Windows. Most sites aren’t HTML 5 compliant; which can cause problems viewing the site in Safari on the iPad. The lack of Flash support in the iPad left me scratching my head.
Forgive me, that is a lot of barriers to develop on Apple’s platform. I don’t see any of these for Google’s platform. Even if I don’t get an Android tablet I look foreword to having my Droid updated to Honeycomb. If this doesn’t happen, I will be renewing my mobile contract soon. I will definitely pickup an Android phone with Honeycomb on it.
Does this sway your feelings about the iPad? Please let me know.

I had no idea. So I’m curious how silver itself can purify water. Also, when we’re talking purification, are we only talking impurities like metals or acids in the water binding to the silver? I’m guessing that bacteria / protozoa is still an issue there. I doubt that the silver content will affect items like this. I’m also wondering about the silver content itself.. do you need that much or will a silver quarter be enough to do the trick.
Very interesting stuff!
