DVRs for tonight:
9pm Bionic Woman (NBC) and Private Practice (ABC) - worth pilots
10pm CSI:NY (CBS)
Mercedes McNab (Harmony on Buffy) is going to guest star as another vampire on Supernatural in November. Charisma Carpenter is joining the cast of Big Shots. (Why does a cast and crew I like so much have to be for a show that sounds dreadful? I'll probably end up giving it a pilot.)
Why is it that people still think colorizing classic films is a good idea? Now Ray Harryhausen gets colored over.
Cool science for the day: First zero-gravity surgery robot demonstrates vascular surgery in underwater lab.
Planned projects would increase California's solar power production to 65x current levels.
Slideshow for converting analog TVs to digital.
Slideshow of low cost tech for 3rd world needs. Interesting.
New comet detected that reappears every 4 years.
Like TorrentSpy last month, IsoHunt is going to stop allowing US computers to download torrent trackers from their site. This is caused by pressure from the Motion Picture industry, but I don't see them stopping downloads of movies only. :(
Dawn will rise in the west this week as the spacecraft Dawn is launched to study the asteroid belt.
New studies show stem cell therapies will slow down liver damage to give the liver a chance to repair itself or give the patient time for a new liver to be found.
Massive underwater kelp forests have been found beneath the coral reefs in the tropical areas of the Pacific (where they never thought to look for them before).

Roundup for 9-25-07
DVR settings for tonight:
6pm Eureka (SCIFI)
8pm Bones (FOX)
9pm House (FOX) - Really far behind on this show - may or may not watch.
Reaper (CW) - We saw a sneak preview of this and it is GOOD!
Mathematical evidence for the parallel universe theory.
Michael Shanks talks about filming the episode of Eureka that airs tonight.
Interesting new tripod robot design - the STriDER flips while walking.
Roof tiles with built-in solar cells. I wonder how efficient they are, but it is interesting to see a solar paneled roof that looks like a normal terracotta tile roof.
Interesting pictures of caves and water evidence on Mars.
EchoStar (parent company for DishNetwork) just bought Sling Media. I look forward to seeing a DVR with built-in sling-box so you can view your recordings on your laptop, PDA or maybe just a non-DVR satellite box in the same house without buying a separate device and going through another setup.

Roundup for 9-24-07
TV for tonight:
DVR1:
Chuck (geek gets download of spy knowledge - sounds like Jake 2.0 - worth a pilot)
Heroes (finally back!!!!!)
Journeyman (time travel - worth a pilot)
DVR2:
How I Met Your Mother
Big Bang Theory (giving this a pilot basically because it comes between 2 shows I'll watch although I doubt it will be worth a second episode)
2.5 Men
More writer/directors named for Heroes: Origins. Eli Roth ("Hostel") and Michael Dougherty ("Superman Returns") join Kevin Smith ("Clerks", etc.).
TVShowsonDVD is taking a REALLY in depth look at the new Young Indy dvd sets. I would like to rewatch some of these, but it might seem a bit strange to see Sean Patrick Flannery play a good guy. ;) Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Cute story of geeks meant for each other: Marriage proposal in a crossword puzzle.
RIP Marcel Marceau (the most famous mime ever) and Alice Ghostley (Esmerelda from Bewitched, etc.).
Article about all the geeks on TV this fall (or shows aimed for geeks).
Article listing the best geek TV of our generation (#1 is Buffy). As usual with any list, I have problems with the order and omissions, but it is better than some.
New version of Gmail being tested according to ZDNet.
Wikipedia is making changes to become more trustworthy.
Really fascinating article on the top 10 transhumanist technologies (basically future technologies to change the way we live approached from a "we will definitely get this and this is why and how" sort of approach).
Article on Heroes (not to be read until tomorrow because it warns of spoilers).
Cord blood transfusions from siblings cures sickle cell disease and Thalassemiain in 90% of cases.
Low cost, high-efficiency solar panels nearing mass production.
Astronomers have modeled 14 planet types to help them spot an Earth-like planet elsewhere.
New studies show that the Amazon rainforest recovers better from drought than previous models suggested. I guess that gives us some hope.
Arthur C. Clarke comments on the Google X Prize award.
