At the cottage I read an article on Tieteen kuvalehti (a Finnish science magazine) about how semen acts as an antidepressant in women. I finally remembered to search the net and it seems to be based on legitimate scientific research. I wonder, if I could find that original article at the Uni library... Nope, they don't have access to that journal. ( Read more... )

I watched We are wizards, a documentray mostly about the musical fandom that has arisen from Harry Potter, today. I was reading a HP fanfic of the next generation and there was a reference to Wizard rock song. I couldn't find the song itself, but I found this blog post about Harry Potter references in Nerdcore hip hop songs. Nerdcore being a ( Read more... )

In Finnish. Oon katsonut Teemalta ja Areenasta pari mielenkiintoista dokkaria mitä mun on ollut tarkoitus suositella immeisille. Dokkarin nimi on Mielen salattu voima ja siinä on kolme osaa. Yleisellä tasolla aiheena oli mielen ja ruumin yhteys, sekä onko tajunta/mieli/sielu ja aivot sama asia.

Mielen salattu voima:

I've been reading manga again. I read quite a bit of manga at the start of the year but then I read books for a while and didn't read manga. (I'll have to decide on what book to read from my list next.) As I've been searching for manga to read I've also learned what type of mangas I like. Sure it depends on my mood but I keep coming back to some ( Read more... )

I listened to this music a lot around the turn of the year. But somehow I didn't want to post it then. Especially the song The Sound of My Goodbye really gets to me everytime I listen to it. I can be doing something on my computer but the part that starts at 00:50 makes me stop whatever I was doing and just listen to the music. Also, in my mind the ( Read more... )

Okey, something is making my Firefox freeze so badly that it freezes my whole computer and I have to boot it. I'm thinking that the problem has something to do with NoScript, because Firefox freezes when I allow some site to run scripts (temporarily or for good). But I've been using NoScripts for a long time, at least a year, and I haven't had ( Read more... )

I watched an interesting documentary on television tonight. In Finnish it was Ulkolinja: Taistelu avaruudesta and in English Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space. Finnish readers can watch it from YLE Areena in the next 26 days. The documentray was about the possibility of war in space and how the US has aimed to dominate space for decades ( Read more... )

We have this great channel in Finland called Yle Teema, which might be similar to Discovery channel or BBC (something), based on what I've heard of those channels. They air high quality documentaries and talk shows (which admittedly are a bit too dull for me usually), but the documentaries are great. Today I saw a document, which made me think: ” ( Read more... )
