For those who know me, you know that there is an EE in GEEK. Go Illini (UofI), Go Engineering (BSEE), Go Science (PE).
Reference for this entry is Popular Science, January 2008.
Word Watch (I found these 2008-2009 new potential words very apropos):
Anthropocene: The most recent epoch in Earth's history, during which humans first began to affect the planet's climate and ecology. Approximately 1800 through the present.
Exergaming: The action of playing video games that do double duty as exercise regimens.
Blogical: Illogical ramblings found online :o)
Other Worlds Revealed? - "In the late 1970s, the two Viking landers failed to detect any signs of life on Mars. But when, a quarter century later, scientists used duplicates of the Viking's detectors to search for life in the dry valleys of Antarctica and Chile's Atacama Desert - regions on Earth where we know life exists - the detectors failed to find it. Were the Viking landers blind to the presence of life on Mars?"
[The Phoenix Lander, set to touch down on the ice-rich Martian arctic this May, could provide clues, as to whether there is, or was, life on Mars]
Forever Yours,

EE? Is that anything like a GE?
