LifestreamKind of slow around here so I thought I would make a recommendation in the realm of music. Namely Blackmore’s Night.
Legendary Deep Purple and Rainbow guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (b. April 14, 1945, Weston-super-Mare, England) shifted his musical focus away from hard rock in the late 1990s and started concentrating on his love of Renaissance-era music. [...]

The pair of shelled eggs is the first of its kind found inside a dinosaur, said researchers who reported the discovery in Friday’s issue of the journal Science.
Scientists found the dinosaur produced eggs in some ways like a crocodile and in other ways like a bird. Crocodiles and similar primitive reptiles have two ovaries enabling [...]
I noticed that Gizmodo (and here) was raving on about the SleepTracker again so I had to make a note of it.
How does SLEEPTRACKER work?
SLEEPTRACKER continuously monitors signals from your body that indicate whether you are asleep or awake. Because you wear SLEEPTRACKER on your wrist like a watch, its internal sensors can detect [...]
Boing Boing posted a VERY informative article on Peak Oil and what to do about it here. Well worth a read. Also deals with the future of nuclear power and renewables. Quite extensively updated and it shows that more and more people are thinking long and hard about “new” sources of energy. At least more [...]
Awapatent (in Swedish for the time being) sent out a report on the status of Swedish (and European) companies with the US patent office. Apparently they’re not happy. So, what else is new. But then they go on to say something that really pisses me off … paraphrased, translated and shortened …

The year is 1715 and James III (the Old Pretender), from exile, stands poised for a foolhardy attempt at reclaiming his birthright. When Queen [...]
Yeah, I’ve had it with flash content and ads. I would recommend everyone to install Flashblock for Mozilla / Firefox. This has to end. I don’t think there is any software that is so overused as Macromedia Flash is today. Even with broadband, it slows down page load times (it’s not like those ad servers [...]
Via Warp2search. Popular technology poses the question whether the iPod series is in fact hyped up far beyond what it actually delivers. Perhaps nothing really new but it’s worth pointing out nevertheless.
Though hinted by the author as a possible problem, I would like to see more data on the life span of those microdrives that [...]
Via Slashdot. MJ Simpson has posted an early review of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie. The movie is described as follows:
“Bad”
“Really bad”
“Vastly, staggeringly, jaw-droppingly bad”
“Bad on a big scale”
“Bad on a small scale”
“Staggeringly unfunny”
“Unfunny, pointless crap”
“An abomination”
“Amazingly, mindbogglingly awful”
“A terrible, terrible film”
That is pretty much it … and … don’t panic!
From what I [...]
