Another crazy week I don't have to comment upon gone the way of the Atelopus zeteki.
No more obligations to appear both smarter than the general English speaking Malaysian and in sharp contradiction, non-judgemental.
It does get tiring when one has to once more be the cynic. Better to walk around one the few remaining tree-endowed housing estates that hosts my humble abode.
Don't believe me? About 24-hours ago, I got a non-YouTube experience of not one, but TWO HUMMINGBIRDS!
The tiny things were black with orange-streaks of fire-sparks. Deftly weaving between the multitude of twigs and leaves with such skill and stamina (at least 15 minutes of non-stop flying), they put all WW1 era dogfights to shame. No larger than wasps, yet the resemblance is too striking to deny. The wonders of evolution have bred a creature too insect-like to be a bird, yet too independent to be insect.
Anyway, two links for the week.
One pointing to a human-powered car. Looks like the stone age is the new age.
Another link by a friend showing the universe in scale. This links primary purpose is to allow me to visit the site when I have acquired the services of a mid-range high-speed connection known as broadband.
