Big bang
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/UkV2lswOOv4/
The Big Bang was an explosion of space, not in space. The Big Bang wasn’t an explosion of stuff like atoms or molecules, it was an explosion of a place and instance, it was the creation of when and where. Before the Big Bang there was simply nothing, there was no ‘where’ nor was there a ‘when’. It doesn’t even make sense to say ‘before the Big Bang’.

A bewildering tangle of options. To manage your privacy on Facebook, you will need to navigate through 50 settings with more than 170 options. The site has gone from walled garden to glass box on a busy street corner.

Gopher archive
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/tPDTJh0TmQw/
John Goerzen has archived Gopherspace (all 40gb) and made it available as a 15gb compressed torrent. Gopher was around in the 1990s before the World Wide Web, it was similar, but not hyperlinked. I remember using Gopher in high-school, it was the first time I ever came across the CIA World Factbook.

Sushi at home
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/RhQWQ0C2zU4/
For sushi at home, skip the fish. Sushi really isn’t that hard to make, as long as you don’t mind the odd fail piece. Chicken teriyaki and breaded prawns are also good to throw into the mix.
