Winning Rice for the UN

FreeRice

And interesting site that tests your vocab and claims to provide the UN with 10 free grains of rice for each word you get right. Rather interesting and the words can get very very hard rather quickly with ones such as pettifogger, degustation and others. Also along with give out the rice it gives you a Vocab score which I think correlates to how harder a words you know.

So far my vocab score been hanging around 40-41, so have a go and let me know what sort of score you get on average!

The Diamond Age

If your looking for some interesting Science fiction I'd highly recommend Neal Stephenson's "The Diamond Age or, A You Lady's Illustrated Primer".
A very interesting book where societies, cultures and Nations are memes and Nanotech isn't so much technology as everything.

It's a very interesting book and I highly recommend it.

Suicide Bombing Makes Sick Sense in 'Halo 3'

It was after pulling this maneuver a couple of dozen times that it suddenly hit me: I had, quite unconsciously, adopted the tactics of a suicide bomber -- or a kamikaze pilot.

An interesting little article.
