A Word on Supplements
Anyone who has ever been involved at a fairly serious level in the world of sport will have come across nutritional supplements of some kind. These can range from having electrolytes in your drinks to constructing entire meals out of powders and vitamin tablets. [more...]
Drawing Molecules
When you were a little kid, you probably came across quick step-by-step guides in children's books on how to draw things. My views on the faults of modern educations systems are perhaps best left to another post, but for now, I present a how-to guide for drawing molecules. [more...]
Musings on Economic Inequality
One of the most fascinating machines I've tried to understand recently is the way we allocate scarce resources - economics. It is interesting for many reasons, and one of them is... [more...]
Core Conditioning

Let the Right One In

Polarize This

App Store Trigger App-y
I love my iPhone (can you tell?). Having owned my iPhone now for nearly a month, I can finally comment with some validity about the rest of my favourite apps. These are apps that take longer [more...]
Wishlist – The World
I'm not happy with the world. I should be more specific - the world is great, but I'm not happy about the way humans conduct themselves while they are on it. It's no secret that I have a strong [more...]
Favourite iPhone Apps
About two weeks ago, I received a long-awaited package in the mail - my new iPhone 4. My previous phone was the original iPhone, purchasedin September 2007 about two months after its initial release [more...]
