After eating all of those Doritos, I could go for some Aqua Colbert!

That was the single greatest thing i have seen in my life......(aside from last year)... but anyway that was prett godly......sigh...

I watched it and thought it was really cool. It's hard for me to imagine the kind of difference that thing can make, I hope he's able to get it placed everywhere.

Stepehn Colbert was in the running for President, I thought that was funny. And I think I might have voted for him. But would you guys vote Dean for president? (Just an idea to throw out there)

On a more relative note: I did not know Dean was going to be on and to my biggest surprised, there he was. I did not know about his water filter devise and of course it was amazing to see. It's funny how everything my elementary teachers said was impossible are now becoming more possible than ever. If history is any guide, it goes to show us that we are wrong about how we view the world. I always feel more comfterbale about the future everytime I hear Dean announcing his projects and researching new ones.

You really need to get out more.

I might be missing something, but just a quick look at the plans suggests that perhaps it is just boiling the water to get rid of impurities. Now, knowing Dean there is something much more to it that I am missing. If anyone knows what it is, please post it.

Also, as far as economical standards go it needs to either cost about $100 or less or be legally required to be readily accepted. Otherwise, I don't see this going big. For instance, I wouldn't get one because I already don't get sick but maybe once every other year. The only really good uses I see are for hospitals and retirement homes where people get sick alot. Perhaps third world countries could benefit, but it will take decades to spread these.

Overall, if there is something underlying that I am missing, it might be awesome. I just really don't see this hitting big anytime soon. I hope I am wrong though. If it does go big it will do great things, I just don't think people will give it a chance.

I'll have to go to comedy central and watch the video.

Dean talked about his water filtration system. Very cool stuff

And I'm very glad that Stephen is actually taking an interest in water conservation. I think it shows the direction in which the new media is moving and its clear that Dean is part of that movement.

No mention of FIRST, but a pretty good appearance nonetheless. I wonder how much one of his water purification devices costs...
