Internet 1.0?
I’m sitting and wondering this morning what on earth I did during Internet 1.0 (i.e. before it was fashionable to call it Web, and give it a version number).

Greenpeace Founder Goes Nuclear
Greenpeace Founder Goes Nuclear: “Nuclear energy is the only large-scale, cost-effective energy source that can reduce [CO2] emissions while continuing to satisfy a growing demand for power.

Forever Young
Forever young, forever young… I wanna be forever young Do you really wanna live forever? Forever… forever… Gah! I’ve had this song in my head for nearly 3 days straight now.
