Welcome to the ramblings which are Sparkspin:- my precious (or maybe precocious?) web site which has endeavoured since 2001 to discuss the way things are inevitably going to be someday soon (that is: assuming we don't entirely eliminate ourselves along with the planet in the meantime)... New Game:- Fly over imaginary Cydonia:~ Diminishing resources and expanding populations seem to point to a sad end for our little bubble of existence and the Internet is stuffed full with prophets of doom so we won't linger there but instead, I will offer my two pence worth of hope. A guitar is born Like it or not (and if you are yet another blinkered book-learned scientist you won't like the "science" presented herein), there are some answers here and if you have a couple of million to spend and fancy a real technological adventure, you have come to the right place. If you don't have the millions, read on anyway:- !!! Enjoy !!!
