TK in USA Today?

[egb groupie]

Was reading through USA Today this afternoon (7-30-08) and ran across an article that disputes NC State University's find of soft dinosaur tissue back in 2005. It quoted Tom Kaye, leading a team of researchers, as saying it is modern-day bacterial goo that coated the fossils, not soft tissues like blood vessels.

Page 5D of the Life Section.

Hmm TK and dino bones.....coincidence, or just another person named Tom Kaye?

[luke]

No, probably him.

I checked the his site beforehand to see if he was affiliated with the museum that was mentioned in the article, but no luck there.

Sorry Luke, forgot a word. Meant to say I checked before I posted originally, to see if there was any mention of that museum...

wakka wakka wakka!


Thats awesome Tom. Seriously cool stuff.

[Shane-O-Mac]

Quoted from the Burke site:

"recently developed the world’s first fully automated micro-fossil sorting machine. "

Any pics you can share or cool info about this?

Nice work! Keep disproving the stuffed shirt crowd.....lol.

[warbeak2099]

Tom, you just get cooler every day.

[AGD]

Shane,

Go to my website under Publications - Talks and download the fossil sorter video and you can see it in action with the full explanation I gave at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting.

You know.... This could be an opportunity to grow TK's persona into something larger than life a la Mike Ditka and Chuck Norris.

Did you hear... TK is heading up a project to colonize the moon!

[cyrus-the-virus]

Hey TK, When you're rich and famous you're going to come back and devlop the next generation automag right ;)

Chuck Norris can watch '60 Minutes' in 20 minutes. We should time TK.

i dont think i am going out on a limb when i say that tom kaye is and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, the smartest man to ever touch a paintball gun.

we are in your debt, and i am personally happy to have had you in our sport for as long as you could be.

thank you!

you are a role model to me, and i thank you for what you have done.

[Miscue]

I ran into that article today at work... Tom's goo makes headlines! Congrats!

[Thordic]

I actually saw it this morning at breakfast, I cut it out to make sure everyone saw it, glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.

Congrats, Tom!

Would that be this? http://www.tomkaye.com/publications_talks.shtml

I see you have added more COOL stuff to your site. :wow: It has been awhile since I was there.

Hey post up a pic of the mirror. TK building a Ship or what? :headbang:

Did you ever call NASA back. :ninja: Nobody knows they used the AGD A.I.R. to deploy an air ship. I have the Pics and links somewhere. Can I borrow one of your flux capacitors?

If you made a perfectly round paintball people would buy them.

edit to add... priceless quotes.

"In subsequent pictures you will see the new yellow boom that I fabricated so as not to try and kill myself again." :wow:

"The whole assembly is now rigid and you can hang on it and go for a ride!" :eek:

i hear he does it in 19 minutes flat.

[gunangel]

hey Mr. Kaye, if you ever want to play a few rounds, the UW huskies would love to have you for one of our outings!

Tom-

Heres an article from sciencenews.com



http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/34579/title/Soft_tissue_in_fossils_still_mysterious

[manike]

Great article bunny, thanks for posting the link.

I've been following this with some fascination. It seems like the original team to find this soft tissue is getting more and more upset. The quotes from their lead researcher Mary H. Schweitzer seem to be getting more and more aggressive.

I think this one is going to take some time to settle down, but I can't wait to see Tom's Discovery channel special (I don't know if they will do one, but they should). I watched the original about the soft tissue discovery and really enjoyed the possibilities.

Good luck Tom. Awesome stuff. :) :tup:

[AGD]

Manike,

Yes it seems the same to us that things are getting more hostel as time progresses. I have always been a big fan of her work and continue to do so.

Just remember if she gets too far out of line, bunker her from the other side of her desk. Then she'll really know who she's dealing with.

Seriously though too, congrats Tom. It must be quite exciting for you. Always wishing you the best!

PERFECT!

Hey TK, When you're rich and famous you're going to come back and devlop the next generation automag right ;)

HA! The automag is finished ... He perfected it (almost) only thing left is get it to take higher pressures!!! and well we all know what happens when you crank the pressure on an x-valve.

simply put next gen isn't needed ;)

haven't checked out his site in a while either... he did add some stuff...

[ElPanda]

wow I had no idea that tk was so smart in so many diverse areas

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Tom actually didn't find dinosaur goo...he found me...now you all the old people know why I'm back posting again after a few year hiatus...
