Sunday morning grin

Just had to share this one from UserFriendly.org.
I may well put up something about how ill informed (trying not to say stupid there) the worries of strangelets and rogue black holes are, but right now I'll let it slide.

Aside from that, it's a Sunday morning and while I'd rather be asleep for another couple of hours various doorbells rang earlier, none of them mine. But it's still a lie in from my normal 5 am wake up (or start to wake up). With me being such a morning person, it's probably a good thing that no one sees me until almost an hour later...
Well, time for the Lie In on Radio 1, probably the best two hours they do.

More geeky than c:/Spot/Run

I'll have a full post up soon but until then there is a great "cartoon-off" between the New Yorker and Randall Munroe of XKCD which includes this picture:

If I say that most geeks wouldn't get the joke you might get the idea of how geeky this is, but I laughed lots. The joke relies on a property of higher dimensions and string theory, although the New Yorker was also right about String theory...

In case anyone is wondering, the joke I mention in the title goes:
c:/
c:/Spot
c:/Spot/Run
Run/Spot/Run

I'll soon have photos of what I've been up to the last couple of weeks, it's been brilliant!
