Random Notes on the Edge of June

dewlineSo, per the stats wherever LJ's feeding me from, June has already started. But as I type this there's still three hours left in May. There's been this consistent daily lead time of three hours. Or lag time. I'm not sure which term is applicable here.
Anyway.
Thanks to Greg Rucka's Lazarus Tumblr site, there's this thing researching into the possibility of human cells being modified to serve as solar batteries of a sort. And here I go, fanboy reflexes immediately thinking of Kryptonian biology. Big surprise, huh? We're probably a long ways from anything even remotely resembling that point, assuming this research has legs. Some of you out there will understand the ideas Bioplastiq is tossing around here far better than I.
Keeping that "Next Nature" site bookmarked, though. In case of other weirdness.
Today, I've been working on tagging what is now about 41,300 image files I have stored on my computer via iPhoto. That's going back to 2003, back when I got my first Mac computer. I'd had the Canon A70 for a few months prior to that, if memory serves. Just before my Dad died, I think. Getting that camera might've been one of the last steps before actually buying that iBook. Lots of tagging to do and it's nowhere near done yet.
There's some other stuff percolating in the brain, but I'll leave it there for the moment.
