You’re not allowed to take pictures inside the Sistine Chapel.
Because someone’s already taken one for you.
Pan around, zoom in and out. Kind of cool.
Skin Gun
Author: BrettFeb 9
Burn victims usually have to wait weeks for new skin to be generated and grafted onto their wounds. The recovery process alone can take weeks or even months.
And once healed, those burns will always look like burns. In even the best cases, the surface of the skin and the areas surrounding the wound usually look “off” or not-quite-right. Maybe even a little melty.
Stem cell research has resulted in a new treatment for fresh burns: A way to quickly generate skin cells that can then be sprayed directly onto the surface of a wound without grafting. The cells can be prepared and the treatment administered in less than two hours, and the recovery time is shortened to just a few days.
The results are incredible. You’d never suspect that the guy in this video had nearly lost half his face and ear to a fire.
I’d like every hospital to have skin guns at the ready. If I were the wealthy, philanthropic sort, I’d spend some money to make that happen.
Kobo hits $99

Border’s answer to Amazon’s Kindle, Kobo, just dropped to $99 today.
While Kobo does support ePub and PDF natively, it’s also fully supported by Calibre, so getting your books on there should be easy.
When Barnes and Noble dropped their Nook to $150 a few months ago Amazon followed their lead that same day and dropped the kindle to $140.
I don’t think we’ll see $89 Kindles before midnight, but you never know…

If The Onion were a person, we would be friends.
Not just friends, actually – we’d be best friends.
We would be the kind of best friends that finish each others’ sentences.
