13 things that don't make sense

The new scientist has a list of thirteen scientific question that don't quite make sense. Lists like this should be plastered on the wall of every high school science classroom. Kids don't get the feeling that there are unresolved issues in science because all the time in class is spent teaching them what we already know. Showing them what remains to be understood is the best way to awaken their curiosity and possibly push them towards a carer in science.

America don't gloat over Lebanon

Of course Syria should leave Lebanon, but the lebanese people are making this happen not the Unites States. If the neo-cons and the US administration keep taking credit for what is currently happening in Lebanon it could seriously backfire. Look at todays demonstrations for a serious wake-up call.

iTunes as a messaging system

Xavier sent me a link to a wonderful little story about iTunes being used as a to messaging system between strangers

I waited. I listened to selections from her library: Low, Manual. And then the sound skipped. I flipped to iTunes. Her library title had changed: try_the_new_dalek.

A conversation began, conducted solely by library title, and it continued for the next couple of hours.

Not only is itunes an extension of identity but its now also becoming a communication medium
