Torsion Fields?

I just returned from a conference with David Wilcock, and I'm mulling over all of the stuff with which I was presented there.  Chief among these concepts was the existence of "torsion fields".  These invisible fields are supposedly capable of incredible things: healing, stargates, etc.

So I'm wondering if there is any real evidence of such things.  So I've started with the ol' Wikipedia even though that is a fairly weak starting place.  But it serves it's purpose.

I will post more as I find it.

Wolfram Alpha? For What Do You Use It?

Ok, I don't know if you've heard about this yet, but this is a new sort of search engine.  WolframAlpha is billed as a "computational knowledge engine".  Instead of giving you long list of websites that contain the search term entered it gives you a concise view of the actual information for which you are searching.  

I'm just wondering who is using this right now, and how they are using it.

So far the primary use I've found for it is figuring out how many days I have until a given date.  Just type a date in and it will give you any pertinent information relating to that date.  Including the aforementioned calculation.  That is moderately useful, but not by any means earth shattering.  So what uses, if any, have you found for this new search engine?  Please comment!

My Beginning with jQuery

I recently taught a class in JavaScript, and while I still don't consider myself an expert in the subject, I now feel fairly proficient in it. Be in an effort to furthe my knowledge of JS, I stumbled across jQuery. jQuery is a JavaScript framework that enables a developer to get more done in shorter amount of time.

So I've been looking for good examples of jQuery in use, becuase it is always easiest to learn a new language by seeing practical applications of it.

Here is the first that I've found.

Here is another.

Cheap Books?

Well, I'm on a search for a web reseller that traffics in cheap used books.  Now, I'm not talking about used books that can be sold 'like new' or 'great condition'.  No, I'm looking for books that are in 'fair'  'acceptable' or maybe even 'poor' condition.  You see, when I want to read a book, and that is all that I really want to do, then I would like to buy that book very cheaply.  I was wondering if there is a web site that caters to such a need.

I'm starting my search here  - at Student Hacks.

I like this one.... BookFinder.com

I will update this as my search progresses.
