Went to see a half-hour presentation about Canada projected on the walls of the parliament house. A lot of patriotic backpatting, but well-done and occasionally amusing (the best use of “eh?” in a long while). The pictures did not come out that well - really could have used a tripod, or better and more stable things to lean on.
The moon was hanging low, but did not succeed in getting a good shot of that, especially one that would adequately prove or disprove the moon illusion theory.

The Science magazine puts forth a set of big topics indeed, ranging from astronomy to psychology. First fifth of them explored at length, the rest only get a sentence or two worth of a problem statement.

Scott Berkun has taken the trouble to discover why, and what to do about it. Good schtuff, and the other essays on the site seem interesting as well.

Anyway, seems that they’ve been adding psychoactives in the Massachusetts groundwater. Anyway, I expect a report from this occasion. With pictures. And paradox-inducing explanations.

Well, as Dan Brown’s readers know, Vatican is in for a spot of trouble, now that the conclave has been shut in.
And don’t believe a word what the evil geniuses at CERN are saying. They’re off to singularitetize the whole world!

Blogwise, that is. Otherwise, not really. Too busy week at work and a decent number of lengthy extracurricular activities prevented real entries…
Restaurant Koto in downtown Helsinki serves killer sushi. And the literate version of that shall be available soon, when the soon-to-be-opened Raku-ya
employs a fugu-certified chef.
Pinball is still fun. Had a lengthy game night at Lemmy’s place. Sucked at both Twilight Zone and especially Star Trek. Scores way lower than previously. Both Carcassonne and WarioWare proved to be amusing as well.
Finns continue to pester Arsenal. This time it was Jussi Jääskeläinen’s goalkeeping that kept the gunners from scoring against Bolton. Chelsea thus widened their margin on top of the standings.
Addictive, yet utterly mindless flash-games, part n: Tobby.
Hyugens landed on Titan. And is able to transmit images
and sounds.
