While that means you could make a tomato out of pumpkin puree, or an exact replica of the eiffel tower made out of liquorice, these folk have other ideas:<br />
<blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Imagine [a food] almost like a meatloaf that absorbs sauce like a sponge. That is cool — much cooler to me than printing some ersatz steak.</span></blockquote>Yeah, they want to play around with textures and create something not possible with any other techniques.<br />
Sounds cool. I just hope it doesn't get used for something like Paris Hilton's next <a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=184431752743&notes_tab=app_2347471856">cake</a>!<br />

It's 13.4 meters long, which isn't too bad when you consider its ROCKET is 3.6 meters long on its own.<br />

If you have a Mac, run system update from the Apple menu and install the system update that is available to access the new Mac App Store.<br />
The Mac App Store is the new shiny place to go to find, buy and install apps for your OS X Snow Leopard machine. It works just about the same as the iTunes app store- you browse for the app you want, click buy, your card is charged and you download your new app!<br />
For more info, go to <a href="http://www.apple.com/au/mac/app-store/">www.apple.com/au/mac/app-store/</a><br />

CAKE, my fav!My <a href="http://sketchysantas.failblog.org/">Christmas</a> present for this year is coming next year. <a href="http://www.cakemusic.com/">Cake (the band)</a> is releasing their new album, 'Showroom of Compassion' on January 11 (Happy Birthday <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=394204965414&set=a.394204460414.172749.296249640414">Jeff</a>!).<br />
My <a href="http://cake.hasawebstore.com/">pre-order</a> went in as soon as it was available, which means my Vinyl LP copy will be SIGNED BY THE BAND!!!!<br />
<br />
This album's been a <a href="http://www.cakemusic.com/songs/showroom/cake.longtime.mp3">long time</a> coming: Cake's last release was the "B-sides and Rarities" compilation in 2007. The last new music album was "Pressure Chief" in 2004 (when they toured Australia and I saw them LIVE). Last year they re-released their first album, "Motorcade of Generosity", digitally remastered & beautiful.<br />
<br />
Here's the band talking about the Showroom of Compassion and the first official music video from it (Sick of You):<br />

If you know someone like me, here are some ideas!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://www.apple.com/au/ipad/">iPad</a></b>: If you don't know why someone like me would want one of these, you either don't really know someone like me, or you need to learn more about what an ipad is!</span> <br />
<div class="p2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://www.google.com/chromeos/pilot-program-cr48.html">Cr-48</a>:</b> I don't really need one, and I'm know there are better notebooks around, but the Cr-48 is exclusive! And it's perfect for the OS tinkering I like to do- nothing fancy, just trying out different distro's of Linux.</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://www.saddlebackleather.com/">Saddleback Leather Co</a> Bag</b>: The manliest man-bags around!</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.atailoredsuit.com/"><b>A tailored suit</b></a>: A man's gotta look sharp!</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://www.aussiedisposals.com.au/">Camping gear:</a></b> Since coming to Broken HIll, I've been on a few creek-bed sleep-outs. I'd love to get my own gear to head off for a weekend every now and then. Oh yeah, Tab likes camping too.</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://www.garrettwade.com/default.asp">Tools:</a></b> Tab and I have some tools, but there are a few that would be handy and others that make my toolbox frequently inadequate! Top of the list includes: a drill bit set, a jigsaw and my circular saw could use a new blade. A router would be awesome, as would a Dremel set.</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://bunnings.com.au/">Timber/building supplies:</a></b> Honestly, some planks of Australian hardwood would make an awesome present, even just sticks of pine would be useful! Timber is expensive, so getting some as a gift would enable me to build an assortment of projects- shelves, cabinets, a larger chook pen..</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://www.cigarworld.com.au/cigars/">Cigars/pipe</a></b>: I know, smoking is bad for you- really bad, but I currently don't smoke at all, and would only like to take it up as a luxury (once or twice a week at most). Like coffee, I enjoy the ritual and 'earthy manliness' more than the taste etc- hence cigarettes are not very appealing to me.</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_wine">A bottle of Port</a></b>: Who doesn't love to sit down at the end of the day to admire his handiwork with his pipe/cigar in one hand and a glass of port in the other?</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, that's my brief list! Of course, there are a plethora of other things I'd love, but just haven't thought of them right now- also, often the best gifts are ones the person didn't even know they liked!</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I don't know if the Australian mainstream media got wind of NASA's announcement about arsenic-based life last week or not (I heard from everyone's fav nerd news aggregator, <a href="http://slashdot.org/">slashdot.org</a>), so here's the rub:<br />
<br />
<u>29 Nov</u>: NASA releases <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2010/nov/HQ_M10-167_Astrobiology.html">this media alert</a>, making it sound like they found something <a href="http://gawker.com/5701940/did-nasa-discover-life-on-one-of-saturns-moons">really awesome</a>!<br />
<br />
<u>2 Dec</u>: <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2010/dec/HQ_10-320_Toxic_Life.html">NASA Press conference/release</a> explains that a bacteria in some lake in California apparently is using arsenic in a way the rest of life uses phosphorus.<br />
The world is disappointed- the internets cry "Come on, NASA! :| Bacteria? On Earth? Surely you could do better" (just check out the <a href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/12/02/1934223/NASA-Confirms-Discovery-of-Organism-With-Phosphorus-Free-DNA">comments on the slashdot page</a>).<br />
<br />
Now, the latest is a whole bunch of people are saying the study is crap! A good summary of criticisms can be found in<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2276919/pagenum/all/"> this 7 Dec article </a>from <a href="http://slate.com/">Slate.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Way to go NASA! Freaking awesome! First, you make us think you've found ET, then tell us it's only bacteria - and you didn't even leave the country?!? On top of that it was a really poor study?<br />
Just go back to getting us on mars, ok?<br />
BTW, where's my moon-city? It's late.A.

About $200 more is expected to clear the bank soon too. This is a great result. Thanks to all who donated! </div><div>Not only did my team raise such a great figure, but almost all the information leaflets we made available have gone! The guide to what works for depression was the most popular, having only 10 copies they disappeared fast. Also going quick were the Beyond Blue flyers for Depression in Men.</div><div><br />
</div><div>My goatee is coming back well. I'll try and find some pics from Movember to post this week.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Study:</div><div>My Spring Semester uni results were released this week! I'm happy with the marks. For the 3 units I did, my marks were 72-73-73, all credits. Not too bad, since I felt like I bombed the exam for the 72 mark. This makes my GPA so far 5.333, which is just above a credit (4=pass, 5=credit, 6=distinction, 7=high distinction).</div><div>I hope I can keep it up- I've got <a href="http://handbook.uws.edu.au/hbook/unit.aspx?unit=300469.2">chemistry</a> this semester, which I've heard lots of people say is hard :( </div><div>The other subjects I'm enrolled in for Autumn are <a href="http://handbook.uws.edu.au/hbook/unit.aspx?unit=300626.1">Epidemiology</a> and <a href="http://handbook.uws.edu.au/hbook/unit.aspx?unit=300664.1">Science in Society</a>, which look interesting.</div><div><br />
</div><div>That's all for now,</div><div>Andrew</div><div><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If you aren't familiar with <a href="http://au.movember.com/">Movember</a> here are the basics:</span></div><div><ul><li>People sign up to participate</li>
<li>On November 1, all the guys shave their facial hair off</li>
<li>For the month of November, men grow moustaches</li>
<li>While doing this, everyone raises awareness and funds for men's health issues (especially prostate cancer and male depression).</li>
</ul></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I like my facial hair as it is, but this issue is important to me, so I'm doing it. I'm hoping to get a few guys to join me as a team. I'd like to have my team raise a few hundred dollars over the month. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">According to the Movember website, <u><b>3300</b> men will die from prostate cancer this year</u>. <i>That's tragic</i>.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><u>1 in 8 men will experience depression in their lifetime</u>. Help is available. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">According to Lifeline Australia, <u>suicide is the <b>leading</b> cause of death for people under 44 in Australia</u>. <i>That's unacceptable.</i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />
</span></span><div><b>I urge you to participate. Do something. <i>Anything to help</i>.</b></div></div><div><br />
