Mapping with google, and free dutch research

For those of you looking for a bit of fun on the web (no, not that type Jordi!) get on down to google maps and try searching for your local brothel, corrupt politician or whatever takes your fancy. The accuracy of the results is astounding :)

Ever wanted to read through a load of research papers from the Netherlands. Well, now you can, after scientists from all the major research institutions got together and released the info on the web for free. Another step toward Total Information Freedom...

Well, not much else happening around here at the moment. Lobelto is back from Hamburg but went straight off to Spain (can't blame him). And with the weather doing what it does best here, there's no point even going out any more. I think I'll just resign to the fact that there will be no summer in Mainz this year...
