A recent German study, found here, claims that worms produce greenhouse gases 290 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
That tells us that Mr. Gore (pictured) isn’t the only alarmist. Gore is, however, the only alarmist getting rich from the warming scare. In fact, if he can keep the frenzy going, it just may propel him into the White House.
This is about a proposed coffee maker that will use artificial intelligence software to make your coffee just the way you want it at the time you turn it on.
JL Hufford Coffee and Tea announced that it has begun provisional patent exploration into coffee machines that learn and react to their users.
The company believes that the technology enabling an appliance to learn and react to its user's preferences, so-called "ubiquitous computing", is already both available and affordable.
This is just a concept with no word on availability or price.

The old Loveland Memorial Hospital building is getting a new lease on life.
The hospital become too crowded in the 1960s and 1970s when Hewlett-Packard and Kodak opened plants in Loveland and Windsor.
In 1976, Loveland Memorial Hospital closed and McKee Medical Center opened at 2000 North Boise Avenue.
The old hospital building at 6th and Douglas had just been vacated at the time of the Big Thompson flood on July 31, 1976. The building was pressed into service as a temporary morgue for many of the 144 people who lost their lives in the disaster.
The building was then used as the Thompson School District’s administration building for several years.
If the building at 535 N. Douglas Ave. were a book, many may have thought its final chapter was written years ago.
It was an empty dilapidated building, designed as a hospital and full of asbestos. The remodel was a daunting task but the building will begin its new lease on life as “The Hillcrest” in August of this year.
