100 Incredible Lectures from the World’s Top Scientists | Best Colleges Online

The link above is to a page of links to video lectures on all types of subjects.

To my way of thinking, time is used to educate ourselves (whether we mean for it to educate us or not) so watching things like this is more interesting than most TV and again, for me, more fun than video games.

Have a look. See what you think.

Why I am an Optimist

GivesMeHope - Like FML, but for optimists!

I offer the link above as an example of a useful Blog. Here folks like you and I can post messages of time you were given hope in this world. What a wonderful way to use computers.

Believe me I have plenty of opportunities to feel things are hopeless, but remembering these things help me keep them in perspective.

Hope you enjoy it too.

Good Grief! UK being PC...

A former soldier who handed a discarded shotgun in to police faces at least five years imprisonment for "doing his duty".

Paul Clarke, 27, was found guilty of possessing a firearm at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday – after finding the gun and handing it personally to police officers on March 20 this year.

The jury took 20 minutes to make its conviction, and Mr Clarke now faces a minimum of five year's imprisonment for handing in the weapon.
