Really pretty artwork

Joe pointed out a great site to me this week. I seriously want to get some prints of this artwork to hang around my room, I like it that much. Please, if you want to see some neat stuff or at least put some neat new desktop images on your machine, go check out David Lanham’s artwork.

Prof. Walter Willett is an interesting doctor who manages to talk about health, nutrition, and balance in great terms while backing things up with data from some of the longest running nutriotional and epidemiological studies conducted. I learned an awful lot about what to eat and what not to eat… and what precautions are probably a good idea.

Clip-sized references of the info and updates can be found at the Nutrition Source.

This was one of the few Murakami books that I could nail down in my local library. It seems this man is hot hot hot.

Anyhow… i liked this book, though not so much as Dance Dance Dance. Why? Well… I just never really cared for the main character… rather i developed a sense of pity for the women who cared about him.

This is a book about bugs. It’s a great book. Sue Hubbell seems, to me, to be a great speaker of the greatness of critters with an exoskeleton. Seriously, this book, with each chapter devoted to another interesting thing with many legs, will give you at least some appreciation for creepy crawlies.
