EMBODY by Herman Miller - Chairholder News - the Aeron chairs are already super expensive, but super good. The Embody is even better. Does anyone have 1600 Euro to spare for me?

Radio UserLand: Auf Wiedersehen, und danke für den Fisch - or something like that. Radio Userland is being shut down. It's a bit sad - my blog originally started with Radio Userland, then I hosted it myself with the Python Community Server (and also gave other Radio Userland users a virtual home there), then I wrote my own Radio clone, the Python Desktop Server. But now all of that is gradually disappearing from the net. Even Phillip Pearson has taken his PyCS stuff offline bit by bit.

Yeti programming language - I should take a look at that, an ML for the JVM. Scala offers many of these features as well and certainly has much more momentum at the moment.

Although Yeti is really only an ML-style language, not really ML (significant differences in syntax).
