It’s one of my former classmates from high school getting married. *ROFL*

If I ever look as ridiculous, please get me a gun, so that I can just kill myself. *ROFL* See the whole madness over here.

PS: Heroes and How I met your mother are back on air. This day keeps getting better and better. Still 5 minutes of it left. Really wanna see what’s gonna happen. *ROFL*

It’s by Timothy Brook and deals with the upcoming issue of globalization and all its various aspects.

As a liberal supporter of globalization you will love this book because it shows how adventurous souls from all around the world came together and exchanged goods and ideas. My favourite part is where the VOC (the Dutch East India Company) keeps hijacking Portuguese ships because they interfere with global trade.

Order it at amazon.com

I don’t like the idea of classifying people by geometrical or whatever measures, but at least Khan Amore provides a handy crashcourse on the golden ratio. Do you think, this will work on a male body too??

Steve Jobs

February 6, 2007

With the stunning global success of Apple’s iPod music player and iTunes online music store, some have called for Apple to “open” the digital rights management (DRM) system that Apple uses to protect its music against theft, so that music purchased from iTunes can be played on digital devices purchased from other companies, and protected music purchased from other online music stores can play on iPods. Let’s examine the current situation and how we got here, then look at three possible alternatives for the future.
