‘resolutions’ are essentially attempts at neocortical suppression of limbic/reptilian impulses (and therefore can only be partially effective)

Very well put I'd say!

Wow, watching Adam Gussow is such an inspiration to practice the harp every damn day in 2010!

Another interesting looking usability testing application. I've seen a few of these recently, need to find the time to give them all a go.

A quick pint at the bar on Atlasov Island

I've always been intrigued by far, far, far flung places. What do they do for fun on a Saturday night? Do they have bar snacks? Is smoking banned in public places?

There probably isn't a bar on Atlasov island, a volcanic rock and member of the Kuril Islands on the far northen edge of Japan. But you never know.

Vegetable and coconut curry recipe-Yotam Ottolenghi

Vegetable and coconut curry

Yotam Ottolenghi's vegetable and coconut curry: the spiced seeds add an extra layer of taste; they're also a fab nibble with drinks. Photograph: Colin Campbell

Making this right now! The fennel and sunflower seed mix is very very tasty. Will report back on how it all goes.

Postcript:

It turned out well, despite not using enough coconut milk.  Also, I threw in another chilli seeing as Jo isn't around this evening, very yum indeed.
