It seems great satire is alive and well at the The New Yorker. Click the link to read some very humorous depictions of how kids/teens/us imagine things to be in the 'grown up' world around us. Hilarious.

Our boy the C.H.R.O.N.I.C. just got back from a (likely) well deserved vacation in the land of [pad]Thai. Check out the story and some sweet pics of his kick-ass sun burn on his new blog over at bradstronach.com.

Wil Wheaton (whom many of you - well, Hanni at least - will more readily recognize as Wesley Crusher, Ensign, Enterprise-D) has recently done a two part article about meeting William Shatner. (part I, part II).

Both of these articles are fantastic reading for anyone who even passively watched ST:TNG, and would be interesting reading for anyone who knows of William Shatner (and really, who doesn't).

As previously covered in The Han-Man's great piece about single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs are single nucleotide variations that often define the observable genetic differences between individuals (ie: like hair colour, and eye colour).

Although the basic understanding of genetics and heredity is probably safe, there is some new information regarding eye colour SNPs that may cause a few folks with genetics training to take a closer look. Then again, this 'new info' isn't really all that strange either.

Basically it's all about a spectrum of variability for eye colour, which I think is really only a specialization of the age-old "blue->recessive/brown->dominant" adage.
