In no particular order:
Gecko's amazing sticky feet via BBC.
Bought a new VCR (to replace our aging 8+ year old one that has become intractable) over the weekend. A third the cost of the old one (not surprisng) but smaller and feels much less substantial (like there's a couple LEDs, a tiny Hot Wheels motor, and a single computer chip running the whole thing).
Of PowerPoint and Pointlessness via Wired. I'm not a fan of PowerPoint, though I end up using it (adjusting/tweaking others presentations at a very late stage) at work. Giving a person a hammer doesn't make them a carpenter.
Today's art: Empire of Light (L’Empire des lumières). Used to have a framed print of this in my office at t previous job. Magritte's probably my favorite 20th century painter.
