There’s a lot of stuff about Darwin circulating the interwebs at the moment because it was his 200th birthday on the 12th – along with Abraham Lincoln. This is an interesting run down of Darwin’s impact on history and science. Worth having some idea of regardless of your thoughts on the man.
Alternative title – why you should probably get around to working out twitter. Or, at the very least, claiming a username that doesn’t suck. Just in case.
All these Darwin tributes are a pretty interesting revisiting of technology from the past – and the evolution of gadgetry. All the links – though they have the same title – are to a different series.
I’ve always wanted to do this, but I’m told it’s very dangerous. And given my track record with electrical equipment, probably not a good idea.
I hope this is true and Starbucks dies a long slow death.
Dan knows about philosophy and stuff – so this idea probably has merit. Invest the $42 billion into Australian cricket. The graph in this post demonstrates the undeniable relationship between the world of finance and the Australian cricket team’s form.
