Belief and science – all mixed up
Reading about the Spaghetti monster on Boingbong has been both fun – and scary. Not scary beacuse people make a very intelligent joke about the Spaghetti monster. But scary because there are educated people who believe that Darwin and all the science in his footsteps for hundreds of years are wrong.
Mixing up belief and knowledge [...]

Lego making OS X software!
I can’t believe it. Lego is actually making a Mac version of the Lego Digital Designer. If you’re a Mac user, head over to Lego and download it. And yes, there’s a Windows version too. Start building!
When the model is finished, you can upload it to Lego.com, and buy a kit with your model.

CIA, Area 51 and the Newton easter egg
Maybe it’s very old news, but still cool: Back in 1995 the Apple Newton came with a new model, the Newton MessagePad 120. One of the engineers on the Newton loved Area 51 and all the stories surrounding it. So he came up with the idea that if you chose Area 51 as your howetown [...]
Customer for 70 years
What if someone is a customer in a bank for 70 years, and still they check her signature every week when she’s in the bank? Seth Godin has the story.
Minus points to Seth for not telling which bank this was.
Free broadband in hotels
Radisson SAS today announced that their hotels now will offer free broadband for guests. Most hotels also have wifi. So now you can surf from the lounge or stream “The girl from Ipanema” in the elevator!
This is a good thing. Start the competition! Hotel wifi has been too expensive for long, and hopefully others (like [...]
10 things that need to be set free
Ross Mayfield is at the Wikimania conference in Frankfurt. And blogs about Jimmy Wales’ “10 Challenges for the Free Culture Movement”.

Something wrong with the RSS feed
Do you read brilliantdays.com in a RSS reader/feed? There’s something wrong with my setup for the moment, articles that should be full-text are not. I will fix it asap.
NetNewsWire needs tags
I have been using NetNewsWire as my main RSS reader for some time now. It’s a brilliant app – I highly recommend it! It’s like a Ferrari: Fast, good looking and going where you want it to go.
But that doesn’t mean that it can’t be improved. Being an avid Flickr and Del.icio.us user, I [...]
