I may have referred to awkwardfamilyphotos.com before, but this is simply too good to be true

Hilarious post on emailsfromcrazypeople.com.

Well worth a read... If you're a Star Trek geek or if you're a linguist... or maybe both?

Check out Joel's new site, dedicated to his podcast Angst a Schrecken zu Lëtzebuerg.

If you her the acronym HM and think of neurons and anatomy instead of clothes, chances are you had a couple of neurology courses during your career. H.M., one of the most famous case studies about amnesia, died on Tuesday after a long life. Read the Times article here.

Pianocktail is taking up the fight for a better Web2.0. Bravo! However I'm with Grommel on that subject, i.e. that a web 2.0 community should fight against extremisms from left and right. I welcome this action nevertheless, being fed off after so many Facebook groups where Luxembourgish nationalistic views just seem to flourish.

For any lazy Müesli fan, this page should be a blast! Somewhat expensive, but I like the idea!

Since everybody seems to endorse a number of Facebook groups on their blogs, I thought I'd finally give in and promote a truly important one: The TOR (Target of Rapamycin) including mTOR Facebook group for desperate TOR scientists with no social life (such as we are)... At the moment we're (i.e. the Hallies) recruiting new members for the advancement of humanity and all that stuff... So remember, if you're not joining this group, you're killing kittens...

no it's not what you think... does this stuff work on your blog?

I discovered this amazingly inspiring blog through the artistswanted photography competition. The Portland based Photographer Tine Louise is spezialized in child portraiture and publishes on this blog poetic quotes with dreamy pictures series that I found truly touching. In her work, she seems to master capturing the innocent and honest expressions you can only find in working with children. Her work reminds me of the great American photographer Sally Mann. Her professional website is here, flickr here.

Nice and informative site if you like to know which seafood you'd better not eat in your region (for conservation purposes). Unluckily it's mainly US.

I'm not sure if I posted this site before, but every now and then, I like to pay it a visit to get some mouth watering inspiration. It's a French blog about mostly sweet goodies, with very nice pictures and interesting recipies. Mhiam!

As you may know, caffeine is a nerve poison, but have you ever wondered how much of that good stuff it takes to let you cross Jordan's river? Well I have, and I found this practical site that lets you calculate the amount of tea, coffee or any given energy drink to amount to a lethal dose. Fascinating!
