I'm buying myself an SLR camera. I need that for my photography lessons, and to do those things my digital camera won't do. I was thinking about buying Nikon F65 together with a couple of lenses (a 28-80mm and a 75-300mm sniper-like lens). However, I'm quite undecided now. I definitely need both zoom lenses, but are there better cameras, like those manufactured by Canon or Minolta, in the same price range? Leave a comment if you would like to recommend something.¶

I've been playing Uplink which is, quote, "high tech computer crime and industrial espionage on the internet of 2010". Yes, yet another hacker/cyberpunk computer game. This one, however, has a very distinct feel that makes you think you are a script kiddie on a trenchcoat, even though the ultra-powerful 60GHz computer you have in 2010 shouldn't find the File_Copier 1.0 such a complicated program.¶

I read Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, that famous book about darwinism where the word 'meme' first apeared. I didn't think the book was that revolutionary, but Dawkins connected the dots very, very well. ¶

Direct Connect: Yet another P2P app, this one a Hotline-style affair where you can download a bucketload of illegal w*rez and MP3. Which is nice.¶
