To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

The Future Is Now
Some months ago I had posted about "bendable concrete" which is much more durable than the regular kind [here]. It has the potential to dramatically reduce construction and maintenance costs. Popular Mechanics has now designated it one of the ten new technologies that will be changing our lives in the near future.
Check out the list here. It's pretty amazing. At my age I am particularly impressed by the "smart pills" that can replace some of the more disgustingly invasive diagnostic medical procedures.
