Bacon popcorn
my curiosity (fueled in part by the knowledge of a particular former housemate of mine who had a particular affinity for bacon-anything) led me to follow a link to this recipe online: Nosheteria: Snacking Thy Name is Decadence.
and i must admit that although the mental image of a layer of bacon fat in the bottom of a cooking pot usually isn't exactly tempting, the idea of cooking popcorn in bacon fat is STRANGELY APPEALING. i blame the abovementioned housemate...
:o)

Wireless power - electrifying!
I have been moaning and griping for quite a long time about the uselessness of having all wireless gadgets if you still need to plug them in for them to work. Sure it's great to have wireless mice and keyboards and who knows what else, but, as I have said to anyone who will listen, what good is it until we have wireless electricity/power? oh, i have been met with skepticism. i myself have not been able to think about how wireless power would work without frying all of us in an instant, or, less dramatically, killing all other electronic appliances. but still, i knew, that someday, someone would find a solution to our dependency on the mother of all wires...
and now, here it is: Startup jump-starts wireless power.
so the concept of never needing to plug in for power again is still way out there. but at least people won't look at me with quite the same "good lord she is out of her mind/too much time spent reading sci-fi there..." look when i mumble something about wireless electricity. they will still have plenty of other reasons to think that of me, just not that one in particular.
