I am probably late in this, but it’s a blog and I never promised timely coverage. As we all know, the agricultural subsidies given by US, EU and Japan to domestic interests hit the developing world hard. The New York Times has a series of op-eds on the topic from different countries. These op-eds do… Continue reading Agricultural Subsidies

A Good Reason to Exercise
I guess I should start exercising regularly. 🙂 A new study offers an additional reason for men to exercise: It could add years to their sex lives. Researchers hope men will learn from this, and exercise to protect their potency even if they haven’t exercised to protect their hearts. Men over 50 who kept physically… Continue reading A Good Reason to Exercise

Do they agree with the young earth creationists?… Continue reading Muslims and Evolution

Frida: I liked the way they used the paintings for some animations and moods. The Quiet American: I… Continue reading Movies We Watched
Doing Website with MT
I like Brad Choate’s idea of using Movable Type to write the static parts of one’s website. I have been extremely lazy about developing the rest of my website and even my school web page is a few years old. Also, I don’t have FrontPage or Dreamweaver. (Aside: Should I buy such software? If so,… Continue reading Doing Website with MT
