The pirate bay has been in the news recently, the cluster-dumb surrounding this case has driven me to write down the facts that our main stream media seem to be incapable of reporting on or even understanding.

I've added an opinion piece on the state of desktop operating systems. I was provoked to thought by a tweeple called @d_whiteplume so I scribbled thoughts for a bit.

Added some final touches to my opinion piece on religion.

Did a little work on the RPG pages, still very much a work in progress, corrected a few bugs and tried to clarify some of the descriptions. Still a lot to do in here even though I'm deliberately trying to keep the system as tiny as possible.

I've been tinkering with the site, added a new theme for a change. I'm still loving my easy-to-template system. I've also integrated twitter into the site so that my random mutterings are included for your perusal.

I've read an interesting article on rice microRNA making it's way into the bodies of mice (and men) where it messes with the hosts own RNA in a bizarre way.

I've been reading a paper about The Myth of Green Jobs, specifically looking at green power generation and government policy from an economists perspective.

I found a cool little tool called scratch that will help me teach my son programming. I've created a new scratch page in the programming section where I'll keep a log of our progress.
The Point
Initially Vorax was setup as a sandbox for me to play in with new web development technologies. Nowadays Vorax is a hard working little box that lives in the garage. While I no longer use Vorax very much for sandboxing new development ideas, I do use it as a blog and as somewhere to host a couple of sites for family and friends.
