I was amused to see this piece by the Libertarian Alliance's Brian Micklethwait, mentioning a possible recent nanotechnology commercialization, in a paper-only article written by Michael Gross of Birkbeck College, London. Brian refers to me and spacer ally Dale Amon thusly:
"...I'm a big fan of skyscrapers, and skyscrapers are going to want this stuff by the square mile, and presumably they already do. I assume that technophiliac Samizdatans like Dale Amon and Russell Whitaker have known of these magic window panes for years but this is the first time I've heard about them, and I'm impressed."
I need to wack Brian over the head with a large fish again... we are Samizdatistas, not 'Samizdatans'.
