  • Podomation Update - 22
    As I move to carrying weights while walking I will have to get a microphone while podcasting. I also discover audacity tricks of a label tracks in the long quest to make a synthetic multiple choice podcast show. This report is really only for those who are following the software development side of things. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • New Scientist 6 Oct_1
    I really feel they missed the point about the discrimination in Physics. I just feel that really too few people understand it anyway, and fewer understand the impact of this. The counter arguments raised were such that you couldn't counter counter argument them as low quality too. I am actually quite moved by the CRISPR article and think we should pause to consider what a great epoch of world history is unfolding. That's just me though.

  • Reveille Mag Oct 2018
    Actually interesting to hear about the ANZAC house in central Sydney. I might drop in with friends. It was very interesting to find out about the fire base Coral and Balmoral MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

    What makes us human or how we should ask that question. There is a interesting review of new London Science museums that seems to avoid the question of enshrining conceptual blunders that plague our Australian ones. There is actually a quite interesting response to questions about boiling potatoes. I like the idea of diluting hunting license lotteries.

  • Parmenides the Greek_5
    In this final tilt at understanding this interesting old Greek bloke, we encounter ideas so complex that it definitely blows my mind. But, on reflection, he is not taking a short cut by suggesting its all God, ie this is the first non theological system of thought, only that it is communicated by a goddess.

  • Periodic table recital 8
    Rubbish day podcasting ending with Blogger on the blink. I talk through the mountain of programming to create a podcast multiple choice show that remolds voice, Finally an almost smooth run the periodic table being snagged by doubts about Pr and then remembering the bonds on DNA bases. Now lets hope Blogger is on air! MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Parmenides the Greek__3
    What does this Bard/Philosopher mean if he so massively contradicts himself? Here we get through 3 of the 5 interpretations. My personal opinion is that the journey is more important than the destination, and the classical way to resolve contradictions is to posit multiple authors or writing over time or poor management. The are many modern day ministerial government documents that have bigger contradictions in them. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

    A really painful read on the Reimann hypothesis, and a really rather disappointing story on quantum mechanics. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • New Scientist 29 Sep _ 2
    A range of stories like octopuses on MDMA being a little less unsociable showed flawed thinking about charateristics evolving several times. I am left wondering why your hair knows to grow with artificial sandlewood and not the real thing. The story on the health risk from obesity is actually a bit disturbing. The idea of China funding the Greenland independance movement is delicious. In general articles appear to venture into low logic areas to get the length and story they want. Perhaps I am just not in a very receptive mood today. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.
