I've been suffering from e-mail withdrawal syndrome for the past couple of days - no Internet or way to check my e-mails or even worse, update this blog.  All of this due to a short vacation trip to Washington, D.C. to show the US capital to my wife and visit the family and some dear friends.

One recent noteworthy story that I came across was cold fusion.  Jeff Hecht wrote an interesting article on the Technology Review web site about the subject - it is a must read.
