Killing the e-book softly…
(Title should be sang along the melody of ‘Killing me softly’)
This is the way to kill the e-book, yet again. Please keep fighting over copyright, keep trying to get the price as high as possible. That way copying a book will become the norm, instead of something that happens occasionally :-(

I knew people have aquariums, of course. I would even like to have one myself. (But I don’t have the space!). But hat people would have aquariums without any fish in them (or rather, the fact that de aquarium is not about the fish!) is something I did not know…

This is not a outlet – it’s an inlet!
Of course, this is just a joke. But you could ask – why not? For instance in a gym, you might even get some decent wattage…

Has Darwin failed? No!
This year it is 200 years ago that Darwin was born. The simple and clear explanation he gave for all life on earth is still not as widely accepted as you might expect…
For me, as an atheist, it seems strange that this is the case. But it is… this a nice article about the struggle that is still going on.
