Winter

Sweden in December. Red and pink twilight from 2 to 5. Frost and cold. High-speed internet. Getting hold of a beer requires some actual calculation.

Today's online gems: One Laptop Per Child NEWS site, How To Get Into Grad School article (poor but probably useful), TechnologyReview's SENS competition leaves us none the wiser, The US federal trade commision approves the heavily cricitizised Google/DoubleClick deal, hope it goes well.

Finally, via gapingvoid I came across this blog entry on midlife crisis and the death of dreams. I don't know that we need to give in like that but it's a good entry.
