These are the magazines on the back of the toilet at work
For the longest time I had to thumb through this one:
and it is not nearly as exciting as your initial gut reaction (OHHELLYEAH LASER MAGAZINE!!!!) would lead you to believe; it’s all super-technical boring, boring, boring engineer stuff. And when I had almost lost all hope, prepared to accept the fact that my afternoon constitutional would be made forever dull by this same issue of Laser Focus World, this riveting gem showed up:
“GO!” indeed!
The thrills! The chills! I laugh! I cry! And these aren’t just US-based plastics mind you, I can read up on what’s happening with plastics worldwide. Ahhh-mazing.
Now I have to drop the sarcasm and start confessing. There was actually an interesting little article in MPW about how they can make an eco-friendly plastic out of chicken feathers. As opposed to pitching all those plucked feathers from all those tasty chickens (I’m suddenly thinking of me and Hooper’s glorious chicken planet), they can strip them and make a reliable polymer out of ‘em. I can’t remember the details but if everything goes smoothly (haha poo joke) I’m sure I’ll get a chance to read up on them on monday.
