Good news everyone, I’m now on Twitter. This means I can spam now in 140-character chunks, hooray. The latest tweets are also visible on this blog on the right side bar. Furthermore I’ve reorganized some small things on this site. For example I splitted nearly everything in two main categories. The Media Zap Oh Snap-category [...]

Yet another collection of interesting talks: First, a quite old talk about exponential growth and how we often don’t understand its implications. The talk starts quite boring with simple math.

Posted by gamlerhart in 42 on March 16, 2010

However the default fonts make your eyes bleed, at least on my Windows machine. It suffers from heavy aliasing, so that you have trouble reading it. Clear [...]
