Techgnosis?

Well I rarely get excited about new technology. I have never been awed by new whiz bang gadgetry (although I must confess that I have ordered SPORE, which is being shipped as I type, because the breakthrough animation corresponding to the game's evolution theme speaks to my biology nerdiness).

However, I picked my brain for some sort of technological advance which had recently piqued my interest. I recalled this article: http://www.realitysandwich.com/collecting_sun

My wife and I have been researching adding solar panels to our home but are waiting for Ohio solar incentives to increase, because right now the cost of a homeowner adding enough panels to their home to make a significant difference is still quite expensive. Hopefully this solar energy storage breakthrough will help Ohio, and other states, encourage solar energy even more.
