Seriously, they are. You have no idea the difference a warm rear makes in the winter, especially with tiled floors. The approach the Toto website takes is both courageous and a little funny. Seen a toilet seat in Japan? They make ‘em. Either way it worth a watch for the sheer hilarity factor. Totally G-Rated.
Android is the first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices. It includes an operating system, user-interface and applications — all of the software to run a mobile phone, but without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation. We have developed Android in cooperation with the Open Handset Alliance, which consists of more than 30 technology and mobile leaders including Motorola, Qualcomm, HTC and T-Mobile. Through deep partnerships with carriers, device manufacturers, developers, and others, we hope to enable an open ecosystem for the mobile world by creating a standard, open mobile software platform. We think the result will ultimately be a better and faster pace for innovation that will give mobile customers unforeseen applications and capabilities.
Looks like we understand a little better how to optimize our biology, check out this article on mice that are basically Lance Armstrong on crack:
The mice over-express a gene responsible for the enzyme phosphoenolypyruvate carboxykinases (PEPCK-C). Normal expression is in the liver, in the production of glucose.
The scientists found their new mice would eat twice as much as normal mice – but weigh half as much. They could also give birth at three years old – which in human terms is akin to an 80-year-old woman giving birth.

Demolish the moon! Hack the genome! Woo! Just what I needed on the day before Friday, some rigorous philosophical thinking.
The divide between the intellectually/physically rich and poor can only be closed if transhumanism is enacted uniformly. Unfortunately, the capitalist society in which we live most likely ensures that only the monetarily rich will benefit. Since money does not necessarily equate with moral goodness and intelligence, we are thus in dire straits as transhumanist ideology will quickly be abandoned in the pursuit of dominance and power. Therefore, transhumanism is probably the world’s most dangerous idea (Fukuyama, 2004). The potential for great evil is dizzying. Fortunately, the reverse is also true.

Alex Telthorst just posted a sweet video of him and his buddies doing some cool boating on Lake Creek. Anything on a river that has the nickname “The Brains” just can’t be safe. You guys are nuts!

Inspired by a common Japanese tradition (uncommon to westerners), described in Chris Marker’s film Sans Soleil. As a form of meditation, or therapy, it is common to prepare a “list of 10 things that quicken the heart.” The list is supposed to describe the small things in life that make one happy, and which makes existence slightly more tolerable.
10 Things that Quicken my Heart
10. Fresh laundry
9. The blast of cold air when the vintage motorycle leaves the garage
8. Hacking late at night
7. Dark and peaceful in the morning
6. Smelling the pages of a new book
5. Staring at the sea from a beach
4. A homemade sandwich
3. Finding nirvana by listening to electronic music
2. Being outside during Autumn
1. Things my father made
