Hemp is one of the oldest complete proteins grown by humans.  Hemp provides an incredibly rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 in the perfect 3.75:1 ratio. Also, hemp contains GLA which improves skin and hair health. Hemp oil provides a better source of omega-3 and omega-6 than fish oil and without the scare of Mercury poisoning.

 

Interestingly, the first paper made in China was from hemp fiber. Here is a cool shop that sells various clothing items made from hemp.

Check out this article on hemp by Dr. Andrew Weil.

Possibly my favorite website: Infinity Imagined.  The pictures and themes posted are incredibly beautiful and insightful. Pictures range from the entire universe to the inside of an atom; from animal cells to river deltas; fractals; physics  biology, and chemistry – all portrayed in images.

BOINC

When I had a Windows 95 PC back in the late 1990’s I would run the SETI@HOME program. As most people know this is a way to help search for ET. I can not remember exactly but I believe it took at least a day of continuous processing on my IBM Pentium MMX 166 MHz processor to complete one work unit.
About a year ago I rediscovered my childhood urge to find ET and decided to run SETI once more. I discovered that SETI now runs through a program call BOINC. More information on BOINC here.

BOINC, as I understand it, has enormous potential; especially with CUDA. I bought the CUDA enabled GTX 580 to create a monster gaming rig (See post on my gaming computer). When I run SETI, the GTX 580 completes the task in about 7 minutes. Just incredible. My Core 2 Duo laptop took 7 hours.

On BOINC I am apart of the following applications: SETI, GPU Grid, PrimeGrid, MilkyWay@Home, Einstein@HOME, and others.
