Much to do and less time to do it in
I've been rather short on blogging energy lately, mostly due to a bunch of Real Life -stuff which had to be attended to. One of the biggest things at the moment is the possibility of buying an appartment of our own. I've been assessing our economy and it looks like we could get a pretty decent loan. Even though the idea of aquiring a debt which would take at least twenty years to pay off scares me, the idea of living on rent for the rest of my life scares me even more.
The main thing is the simple fact that all the money you pay for rent basically goes down the drain from your point of view. Paying off a loan, on the other hand, is money in your pocket. Given that we have a fair chance of getting a loan there's really no reason to wait.
Antimatter
There's been lot's of interesting stuff floating around lately. Something that I think stood out was a Slashdot discussion on antimatter, in relation to a report on the US Air Force researching the possibilities of antimatter weapons. Cool, yet very scary stuff.
