Seriously considering getting offline altogether if SOPA/PIPA passes. It will for sure give me a lot more free time, though I'll have to find other ways of making a living.
Started my first petrified-wood experiment today. Made a very unscientific, watered-down waterglass using silica gel (without crushing it first, as the instructions indicated I should) and approximately an equal amount, by volume, of pure lye drain cleaner. And I'm soaking a couple of small pieces of dowel in white vinegar. Chances are it won't work at all, and due to my failure to measure anything means I won't know what in particular went wrong.
