Sunday roundup

It has been a long and busy week. So by the time Sunday comes around I am feeling rather tired and not wanting to spend too much time in front of the computer.



Through the week i came across a few web sites that I thought I might post to the blog. In order to de-clutter my FF browser here they are:

• First of all, BBC reports of the annual Zombie walk in Brisbane. Always knew the further north you went the weirder the people got!
• Richard Dwarkins (re-)posted a review he wrote on Intellectual Impostures. The same review was also published as Postmodernism Disrobed in Nature. If you like Dwarkin's writings then you will like this one too! Find it here.
• One of the links from the bottom of Dwarkin's article is to a post modern essay generator run by a guy from Monash Uni. While the link from the article didn't seem to work, I managed to track the page down and it is quite funny. Hit the refresh button on your browser to get a new, fully referenced pomo paper - here.
• Thanks to Neatorama blog I found a nice little game called "Five minute to kill (yourself)" to take my mind of work - enjoy!
• My favourite enviro-watch website, Treehugger, had a couple of interesting articles on solar power. One was on the largest thin-film solar plant opening in Germany (here) and the other was a snippet from elsewhere claiming that with six global solar sites running on 8% efficiency they could produce enough energy for the world (here). Depressing to think that such global cooperation seems so distant.
