Bye to a fantastic entrepreneur. He did change the way we use computers, buy and listen to music, watch animated movies, etc. I’ll miss the “One more thing…”

A very powerful XKCD comic. The mouseover reads ‘I calculate that the electrons in radiation therapy hit you at 99.8% the speed of light, and the beam used in a 90-second gamma ray therapy session could, if fired with less precision, kill a horse (they did not let me test this)’. Go Randall!

“One of the men contacted his wife via cellphone about 4.30pm, saying they believed they were in the Mt Fraser area, but we[re] lost and it had started snowing. The woman notified police about 10pm, and a search and rescue operation was launched.”

‘Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis and I were having a beer at the pub, when someone bumped on Bruce…’ Colleagues tell me that my story doesn’t sound very plausible but—in my humble opinion—it is preferable to the ‘I hit my eye on a shower door knob while washing the dog’ one.
