2,700-year-old marijuana found in Chinese tomb
Researchers say they have located the world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.
The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly ``cultivated for psychoactive purposes," rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

Optical Illusions - the top 20
Try and count the black dots....
If you keep your eyes on the black dots, they appear to form and vanish at the intersections of the horizonal and vertical lines. The effect is diminished if one is very close to the screen, further away or if one views at a 45 degree angle.

We've all felt that haze that forms around your eyes when you're trying to study lines and lines of code from a written tutorial. After an hour or so, you're eyes simply become too weakened to continue reading. That's why I'm such a huge fan of video tutorials. You can sit back and learn at your own pace. I've compiled a list of over thirty screencasts that are guaranteed to help you.

Online Video Not Killing TV
Earlier this month, we heard how online video was cannibalizing TV consumption, thanks to data coming out of an IBM study that polled people across six different countries worldwide. The study showed that 36% of people watched "significantly less" TV as a result of their online video viewing. This week, however, a report from Nielsen contradicts that study. Their "A2/M2 Three Screen Report" released yesterday shows that TV viewership isn't declining at all...in fact, it's at an all time high.

Die Woche mit Peter Glaser
Mehr oder weniger regelmässig gibt es hier zukünftig “Die Woche mit Peter Glaser”. Peter Glaser begleitet seit Anfang der 80er Jahre als Schriftsteller und Ehrenmitglied des Chaos Computer Clubs (CCC) die Entwicklung der digitalen Welt. Seit einiger Zeit bloggt er auch bei der Stuttgarter Zeitung. Ich freue mich, ihn als Kommentator gewonnen zu haben, der mir Fragen beantwortet.

Glassbreaks (MP3)
Bob Cronin, aka dj BC, is best known as the creator of such memorable mash-ups as The Beastles (Beatles vs. Beastie Boys) and Wu Orleans (Wu-Tang Clan vs. New Orleans Jazz). Boston Phoenix magazine declared him Boston's Best Lawbreaker, and his progressive attitude towards copyrights might also be responsible for the fact that his mixes usually disappear from his website after a relatively short time. One of my all-time dj BC favorites is his album Glassbreaks, mashing up Philip Glass with hip-hop. Here it is, for free download, and hopefully for a longer time.
