Matrix Twins

Some folks here provided their charity event promotion with some special Christmas eye candy:



There was something about those two. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I expect every Christmas angel to look baroquesque. It was just this vague sense of having seen them before...

Off To Rome

I am heading to Rome tomorrow, so please forgive the lack of new postings during the next days. I expect the city to be dead on my arrival as Italy will be playing against Ukraine in the soccer world cup at that time. Forza Italia!

The Big Bang And Creationism Podcast

Robert Lippens provides a scientific discussion of the big bang, inflationary theory, and general cosmology and takes a close look at creationism's conflicting views. I am still trying to catch up with all podcast episodes from the start - very interesting material. I am quite impressed - I don't think I would have been able to come up with something at this level as Robert does at the age of 17... and of course I also got caught by the theme music of "The good, the bad, and the ugly" at the beginning of the first episode. Now that was a movie I was watching frequently back when I was 17. ;-)

I seem to score higher on geek tests than on entrepreneur tests, so I guess I'd rather stick with what I am doing already... ;-)

OK, it's not "Me Thinks It Is Like A Weasel", but not bad either for a start. E.g. note the root shell prompt at the beginning.

Of course I had to preserve the text for ensuing ages. ;-)
