So I have gotten into alternate reality gaming before playing this crazy thing called Perplex City. But it just got more interesting. Nine Inch Nails is about to release a new album called Year Zero. Over the last few months they have been placing USB thumb drives in bathrooms at shows. These drives contained a song from the new album and other interesting things. There were also new tour shirts that had a hidden message in them sending fans to a website. I'll just leave it up to you from there... but I have spent most of the day following this... and I don't see it ending anytime soon. If nothing else it is a great marketing tool, I will go to the store (not iTunes, I want the disc) and buy the album the day it comes out.

Ever heard of ferofluid? Here are some of the cool things it can do. It's a liquid with magnetic nanoparticles suspended in it... how cool.

"Ferrofluids are composed of nanoscale ferromagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid, usually an organic solvent or water. The ferromagnetic nano-particles are coated with a surfactant to prevent their agglomeration (due to van der Waals and magnetic forces). Although the name may suggest otherwise, ferrofluids do not display ferromagnetism, since they do not retain magnetisation in the absence of an externally applied field. In fact, ferrofluids display paramagnetism, and are often referred as being "superparamagnetic" due to their large magnetic susceptibility. Truly ferromagnetic fluids are difficult to create at present."
