This blog is supposed to be a collection of random, unrelated, little ideas, thoughts, and discoveries, which I assume to be helpful to a negligible part of the world's population and wish to share out of pure altruism. If posts appear really weird, maybe you have the wrong kind of humor. Many of the posts are science/technology related. If you are opposed to that, stop reading here! Comments, criticism, corrections, amendments, questions are always welcome.
