Daily moment of zen
Clear your schedule for the next 9 minutes. There are times in life when you sense the very limits of mankind’s potential, of life, of the edges of our universe - moments of perfection, flawlessness, mindblowing coolness. Summits (vertices?) of life’s multiple-dimensioned box. You sense you’ve arrived at an edge, actually touched the fabric. It’s electrifying.
As a molecular biochemist and a new media geek, I think that’s perhaps what I spend my days searching for, right at the cutting (bleeding!) edge of just two of the many dimensions of humanity’s potential (though I usually just pass it off as neophilia). I give you Freddie King, Sweden, 1973.
“This is the blues, are you listening”
This may not be such a moment for you, but one young human to another, I hope your weeks and months have plenty of others.

- Godwin’s Law?
- Godwin's Law states: "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." It's often mixed in with Reductio ad Hitlerum: Invoking Hitler automatically makes you lose the argument. On that basis, given the video below, should Obama bow out of the US Democratic candidacy race? ;) (the video, by the way, is an absolutely brilliant instance of a novel Internet meme, putting new subtitles over scenes from Downfall, a good film recounting Hitler's last days before his suicide oin a Berlin bunker - but it's doubtless very offensive to HillDog) ...
