I had today off - spent a big part of it travelling back to my own flat, waiting for my new mattress to be delivered, washing the first load of clothes, etc.

But... then I geeked out with Game of Thrones and Dr Who.

Game of Thrones - S3E1 - Valar DohaerisThis was waiting for me on my DVR - see, with the German Sky Atlantic, we get it "On Demand" ( Read more... )

...I talked about then turned into a different topic.

Due to time-constraints, we had to hold the presentation in a team of two. So Dr. Who was out of the question.

But true to the geeks both of us (me and my presentation partner, that is) are, we did:

"Romanticism vs. Enlightenment. Or: Star Wars vs. Star Trek"

I've been feeling quite geeky lately, and I HAVE to share some of these links with you:

First there's Mathematical Doodling!. Doodle games that include things like Pascal's triangle, the Ulam spiral and Apollonian gaskets with Infinity Elephants! Also Graph Theory with SNAKES ON A PLANE.

... I'll just wait until Christmas to see if prices will drop.

It's a sexy-as-hell Asus EeePC 1015PW in "Purple Rain". Technically, it's similar to the 1015PEM which is getting a lot of good reviews - dual core, but long battery life, etc.
