Today I decided to design a practical light fixture using LEDs, which are about ten times more energy efficient then compact flourescents and also emit more light. Hopefully I will complete it by the end of February. There are already some light fixtures like this and they are currently being commercialized. Also, my second letter finally got mailed today.

Lately I have been working on two pages: the paleoclimatology page (linked to through the global warming page) and the yet to be released page on rainforests.
