It's very peaceful because everything's closed! Except for the ubiquitous Starbucks where I am taking advantage of the free internet connection. (Unlike Edinburgh, where you had to pay for it.)

A team of Helsingborg, Sweden, high school students has won a national award for its invention — men’s underwear with pockets for condom storage.
Underwear condom pockets earn award

Just a quick shout-out to all my friends, family and loyal blog readership in the Hoosier State to remind them to grab their government-issued ID and “get thee to the polls” today to cast a vote that might actually have some impact for a change.

Dr. Darling’s Mom is down for the weekend and the two of them made a rather spur-of-the-moment decision this morning to go to Copenhagen. I’m still dealing with the remnants of the Spring Cold from Hell and decided to pass on the excursion. I’m also

Pain at the pump: a little reality check for Americans
Friday, 2 May 2008 7:21 P GMT+01
I’m hearing plenty of griping about gasoline prices from my American friends and family lately, but it’s hard for me to be sympathetic when I don’t even own a car.

Thursday, 1 May 2008 11:19 A GMT+01
In the “most important voting rights case since Bush v Gore,” the Supreme Court validated GOP voter fraud talking points.

How did I survive so long without an iPod?!

Caffeine kick: short shots are better than 'big gulps'
Wednesday, 23 April 2008 6:32 A GMT+01
