Now this is almost too much for my pea brain to comprehend, but..... if you go to this website, download the seti@HOME program, then every time your computer is lying idle it joins a network of millions of other idle computers to help analyze data in the search for extra terrestrial life. How this all works is beyond me but it makes me wonder what you could achieve if we could harness all those moments of human downtime during an average day. Learn a language? Learn to knit? Or just watch more YouTube?
Hey you the Jock Steady Crew, show what you do make a blog make a move.. sorry! This is the Weblog of Edinburgh and Glasgow's Focus Skateboard Store. Bringing you relevant news, happenings and random musings, details on some of the fine products we sell and anything else that crosses our collective minds when we should be doing real work. Cheers. Focus 2011.
