I just can’t help reading about Richard Feynman without being inspired.

Word of the day: trichotillomania - an abnormal desire to pull out one’s hair.
Employees “more of a disaster threat than terrorists”. I would have thought the answer to that one is simple - employ more terrorists.
Laughing till I wet myself: kids from the Playstation generation review arcade greats from years gone by.
I would never pay to play something like this.
I’d sooner jump up and down on one foot. By the way, is this supposed to be tennis or Ping-Pong?
This is a really rather beautiful piece of animation. More at Martin-h.com.
Warren Ellis is posting a new story on the web every day this week - today’s is a real corker.
Well, here goes… I’m in the middle of downloading iTunes. Let’s see if it’s as good as every Mac user I’ve ever spoken to says it is. I sincerely hope so, because if there’s one thing Windows suffers from a dearth of, it’s MP3 player/cataloging apps. Microsoft’s own offering is, of course, utter pants, anything from the Real stable deserves to be shot, the Sony player that came with my Vaio and Clié desperately wants to get me to pay for every bit of music that I own, heaven forbid, various other doo-dads that I’ve downloaded have been good in one respect or another, but not quite up to what I want out of an MP3 app, and even the great grand-daddy of them all, Winamp, is a bit slow to start up and occasionally buggy (though this is most likely something to do with me, other people I’ve spoken to find it OK), and it doesn’t do a great job of organising tracks.
So… I’m pinning all my hopes on iTunes. (Oh yeah, I’m also hoping that the bank will give us a hefty buiness loan with a “must invest in capital” clause, so that I can go out an buy myself a G5 and do it for real).
