Blood from a Petri Dish

This is hot. Transfusions are risky propositions, and synthetic blood just isn't working for anyone. So maybe stem cells can grow us enough blood to transfuse a pint of lab-produced, clean, safe blood when we need it. Now we can all bleed a little easier.

Ice Snobbery? wtf?

Shout out to Chez Nous

One of our favorite things about traveling is finding great food. This weekend, a little place in the Berkshires blew our socks off: Chez Nous Bistro in Lee, MA.

And the white sangria to wash it down was perfect for a summer evening on the porch.

Boston.com's Big Picture (not to be confused with the financial blog of the same name) has some spectacular photos, not just the previously mentioned Large Hadron Collider. See also Notions' Oceans new sidebar.

Right here on Earth. Well, not right here, but in Europe. The USA doesn't do bleeding-edge science like this anymore. The machinery looks friggin' awesome, too.
