Illuminati-R-Us

Truly one of those instants where deep in your gut you feel this urge to inflict very, very much pain on someone.

When you present a 19 year old friend with bound volumes of Scientific American that go all the way back to her birth.

And in the end, as the man suffers from incurable cancer nearing end stage, it was simply an act of mercy. I see no injustice from this to the victims and the ones they left behind suffering.

They were nice? Must be a grand government conspiracy.

Hear, hear, hear, hear...

And what's more, I actually found out that the recordings I just bought (now sitting on my desk one day later) are not the ones I audacityed from vinyl: Alfred Brendel really recorded the whole set of 32 sonatas TWICE, in the 60s and 70s, and now I own them both. Ha!

Project Status Report 7: OK, due to the roaring success of my updates, here is the latest milestone: All my remining few cassettes, and therefore, all my analogue media, are now digitized. As it is with eradicating a disease, the last steps were slow and painful. I rarely worked on the project anymo...

Well, "they" is an American cartoonist...

I do like opinions from my news media. I frequent the ones I do frequent for the excellent quality of their reporting and their high production standards (language, referencing, well-judged balancing of opinions, clear journalistic writing).

I must admit that my respect for Mr. Obama has severely waned for his soft-glove, make-no-inappropriate-remarks approach to what is happening in Iran. While it may be true that any word of criticism towards the current government coming form the US would automatically increase support for Ahmadineja...

No no, not "on" anything hot. Buy a good, fat tuna steak and steam it in white wine for 15 min or fry it with just a bit of olive oil and very gently in a frying pan. Rice, cooked in vegetable broth and with a bit of curry. Steamed broccoli. You get the idea. Or, if it has to be canned tun...
