The CERN rap

Everyone seems to be talking about the Big Bang experiment now taking place at the HQ of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) on the Swiss-French border. No! The World has not ended (yet). However, very few people actually understand what's happening there and how the Large Hadron Collider works.

23 years old Katherine McAlpine, has become famous for her "CERN Rap" video, which has had over 1,700,000 views on YouTube. Even my daughter understands the Large Hadron Collider now. Thanks AlpineKat.

Wanted List

Going through blogs, I noticed that several bloggers have a "wanted list". I keep a list of things to do, but not a "wanted list". Actually, there are a lot of things I want but out of the reach of my hands and pocket. Of course, as they say, human wants are unlimited. So I decided, I don't want to have a list as they keep changing but instead, I will write about a new "desirable" product I just came across, starting this week. Just came across this wonderful product, the Digital Binoculars from Bushnell which combines a powerful, long-range binocular with a .35 megapixel digital camera. 

A perfect accessory for birdwatchers (and perverts, I guess). If they could just add a telescopic microphone.. and a video recorder + a higher resolution. Why don't I just get a high-resolution video camera with a zoom lens? 

As I said, we will never be satisfied. Oh! And yes I want World Peace.
