I came across Gimundo today, a site dedicated to spreading some good news. It might be accused of being a little twee, home-made-apple-pie and all that, nevertheless it's refreshing to have a site out there designed to strengthen the heart muscle through uplifting news and stories. It can join TED, another favourite in my list of internet-trawling regulars, to help me balance out the bad news and bad celebrity that too often makes up our news today - boring.
Nice too that one of the first stories I read was about amazing work being done at Sydney's very own University of NSW. Researchers have found a way of assisting those blinded by corneal damage, by attaching their own stem cells to contact lenses. The stem cells reattach to the cornea and begin the body's own process of repairing them, helping patients to see again. Cool.
