I'll openly acknowledge that most groundbreaking inventions should be revealed only in the province of the super-privileged; I've never been beaten as badly and as frequently as when I rode my Segway around my ghetto-ass nabe, shouting things like, 'gaze upon your Golden God, filthy rubes!"
Still, the announcement that "a new science, a Super Material" that "will contribute in a major way to reducing climate change" will debut at a £1,000-a-head dinner in London has me both curious and wary. The super-luxe dinner (which, for that price, better have glazed baby on the menu) happens later today in London, and Al Gore is in attendance, so maybe it will be a BFD after all. Then again, that guy will fall for anything as long as there's glazed baby involved.
