Today I was going to write a nice article on the Wii or maybe Apple’s new operating system and it’s pros and cons. Then I got creative and thought…mmm, how about writing about robotics or even the progress of Holograms? Yet, none of this really interests me today. Call it being uninspired, but this stuff is BORING! Most of the time tech and science are really exciting (see yesterdays article on Tesla).

So, I thought back and remembered what I used to do early in the mornings, then it hit me. CARTOONS!!! So, instead of writing a long, boring article about what everyone is writing about, I’ll leave you with  one of the greatest science cartoons ever created. For those of you who actually care, it’s from the man himself: Walt Disney. Just click on the link below because for some reason this blog manager won’t let me embed it directly onto this page. Go figure.

Recently, I was watching a little movie called Star Wars and I got to thinkin’. Why in our age of radical technological know how do we not have light sabers? What’s up with that? We have a version of an invisible cloak, sweet blue ray DVD players, and the Nintendo Wii for goodness sakes! But no light saber? I mean come on, it’s every geek/nerd/dork fantasy. To be able to cut through a wall of bullies with your very own light saber! How hard can it be? There is even a website that  actually tells you how it’s made, how to wield it, different styles to try, challenges, and even it’s everyday uses.

Let’s pull it together! Let’s actually make these elegant weapons coveted by nerds everywhere a reality. We have the technology, and You Tube is full of people filming themselves having light saber duels. The public is yearning… no…crying out for light sabers! I feel it is my duty as a resident of this planet to let it be known that light sabers are cool and we want them!
