Good morning, art lovers! These are the last of my photos of my trip to Japan and Singapore. In particular, these are the photos from Singapore. Hence, the entry under the cut is likely to be photo-heavy. But before you click on it, did anyone see the episode of House…
But before I get to the pictures, I’d like to randomly link to this guy. His videos are well made, and his arguments are more respectful than some, but I’m not quite convinced. (Well, I couldn’t be “convinced”, anyway, seeing as how I already share most of his end-views –…
So can I just say that Japanese video games make SO MUCH MORE SENSE now*? *ahem* Another month, another blog entry. But don’t worry, I intend to get back to my weekly blogging regime. My tardiness has an excuse: I spent the last four weeks visiting awesome friends in Japan…

While discussing Lewis Wolpert’s Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast (2006) with my suitemate last week, she made an interesting point. As I complained about the oversimplification of various philosophical and logical points, she said, reasonably, “Well, these books aren’t written for us.” What she meant was that popular science books…
