Chew on this: Vaccine against tooth decay?

Put down that toothbrush, Mickey! Time for you to get a shot!
Portuguese scientists said they had developed an experimental vaccine against tooth decay which was successful in laboratory tests on rats and could pave the way for a version that works for humans.

What we found is that the animals which were vaccinated with this protein developed much smaller lesions than the control group which had not been vaccinated

Hold off on applying to all those dental schools until you hear back about this vaccine. You may want to switch to podiatry (Unless they find a way to vaccinate against ingrown toenails)

Color schemes made easy: cool web site


A great tool for finding colors that look good with other colors. You can even get the hex value, export, and create a color theme. It will even make an Adobe Illustrator file for you. Only drawback is that it doesn’t use PANTONE colors, so you still have some work to do if you like the scheme and want to use it for print work.

I personally have been using it to help me find 9 different colors I can wear in harmony as I go out on the town.

One more reason to wait: Intel Macs might be very Cheap


If you are waiting to get a new computer for after the Intel drop - here’s one more reason to wait. Detailed specs are not available, but rumor has it that the iBook line may see a price drop by as much as $200 in some cases.

(If only the iPod Shuffle could shift to Intel - then they would be $-90 to $-110!!! Man, wouldn’t that be a steal!)
