Time magazine in the US has just published their list of the Coolest Inventions of 2003. You can see the list at:

There’s some absolutely fantastic stuff in here. I thought that the invisibility cloak, amphibious roadster and fire logs made from coffee were particularly interesting.

We just got back from watching Matrix: Revolutions and, well, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Going in, most of the reviews I’d read were pretty damning. They varied from ‘Can’t live up to the original‘, to ‘Marginally better than the second one‘ to ‘Worst of the three’. Anyway, I went in prepared for the worst and was, kind of, pleasantly surprised.
One of the more interesting news stories I’ve seen for a while. According to an article in Russia’s Pravda newspaper, a psychologist hypnotised Hitler during WW1 to help him believe in himself, only he never got over it.
Truly illuminating reading. Truly. Kind of.
