- Richard “the Hamster” Hammond is back home after being discharged and walking out of the hospital. Doctors say he will take six months to recover fully though. His fans’ fundraising efforts have netted over 200,000 pounds so far, with the target set at 500,000 for a new air ambulance helicopter which will be dubbed “Hammy’s Heli’. Filming of Top Gear has resumed.
- My favourite web comic, SinFest has a particularly poignant strip today.
- I’m reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell at the moment. It’s taking forever but I think it will be worth it.
- Nick Heidfeld ranted at Yamamoto after the Chinese Grand Prix, using all sorts of bad words, before realising that Yamamota was not Sato, the driver who had blocked him. Oops.
- McGill have a new science outreach program running right now. Every Friday between today and December 7th there will be a scientific lecture followed by a tangentially related science fiction movie. Tonight’s lecture is “Sea Monsters Unmasked” followed by the movie 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. “Overpopulation of the Earth” followed by Soylent Green (Nov 10) is the most inspired though.
More Mish-Mash

I tried reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but couldn’t really get into it. Let me know if it is worth it, because I gave up about a quarter of the way through.
