Neofonie WePad Named Using MS Word Find-and-Replace Tool [Tablets]
I realize comparisons to another "Pads" are unfair, especially given the Tablet Wars I just invented by saying Tablet Wars haven't even officially started, but surely the WePad's name is some kind of backhanded compliment/joke from its creators at Neofonie? More »

Deb Blum’s Great New Book, The Poisoner’s Handbook | The Intersection
I am currently reading The Poisoner’s Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York, by one of our great science writers, Deborah Blum. She will, I hope, be a guest on Point of Inquiry at some point.

Move over, CSI Miami–here’s CSI 1920s New York. Just amazing stuff; no wonder Blum is at around # 240 0n Amazon right now….
