  1. Reading Bill Bryson’a a short history of nearly everything. Had to pull out my microbiology with taxonomy textbook. Thank you for your detailed presentations they are helping immensely with understanding this tip of the iceberg.

  2. The 7th kingdom is upon us and will soon be even more influential than
    humans… The Technium, or the kingdom of technology. With it's own
    evolution, laws and agenda, The Technium will be the future.
