From the marvelous BLDG BLOG, comes this riff on the Ice Cube project: man's latest attempt to peer at what lurks in the center of earth.

What I like about BLDG is the tangental approach to science and technology. Within the same article is speculation that maybe machines like this already exist and we've looked right past them, what would happen if the face of Jesus is revealed, Eggo waffles, and C4 explosives.
All in one magnificent link-strewn blog posting. Check out the whole site; it's worth it.
