I found a new musical artist through this article. I went to the "popular culture" section of the wiki, and then found This Binary Universe, by BT. The album features a track called "The Antikythera Mechanism". It's good, calming electronica. d-.-b
Something I've always envisioned was using the DC power collected by solar cells for computers, directly. We all know that energy is lost in conversions, so why not skip that step? This would require power supply companies to standardize a port for the cells to plug into, but with everyone having a PC these days, I think it's a worth while idea.
