Lunchtime conversations with my work mates revolve around all sorts of topics, from food to dreams to siblings to every possible aspect of the lives of young, geeky geneticists.
Whatever the topic however, we always seem to be able to find a resemblance with something that happened in a TV show. Friends, Seinfeld, House, The [...]
This is one of the best movies I have seen. After “The Pursuit of Happiness” I knew Will Smith had a lot to offer, more than Independence Day and Men in Black that is.
But it’s not only Will’s amazing performance that makes this movie so awesome. What did it for me was the story. When [...]

How nice are these?
Even if the 14th has passed, these are such a wonderful reminder of love.

D was telling me about the game called Go and how computers are not very good at playing it. Unlike chess, at which computers can beat a human even with half a processor
Anyway, D was reading something on the AAAS website and had this page opened in his browser.
