Want to work with the atom smasher in one of the best cities in the world?!
Then check out the Staff Employment Opportunities at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, which fired its first beam today.
According to wired.com, it is the “biggest, most expensive scientific instrument in history” that will, amongst other things, “change our fundamental understanding of the universe”.
The atom smasher goes live hot on the heels of a report of the World’s Best Places to Live where Switzerland scored 3 of the top 9 cities in the world.
Munich is also up there, tied in 7th place with Frankfurt, which happens to be the home of my friend Allan, who I’ve visited several times since he moved there about ten years ago. It is a pretty cool town, home of the Oktoberfest, Paulaner, BMW, Hofbrau, Siemens, Microsoft’s European HQ – it’s near Salzburg, the Alps, many castles, beautiful architecture, and so much history.
Including the 2002 World Cup Qualifier. Ahem, 5-1.

cute but not inviting objectification
so i just (s)tumbld across Lisa Brewster whose website particularly caught my eye, as she’s integrated a bunch of cool things on her website – tumblr, flickr etc. I especially like how her photograph isn’t the usual taken-from-above-so-you-can-see-down-my-top myspace profile style pic.
This is Lisa’s profile pic to the right here, posted alongside her bio which includes current job of Senior Systems Engineer, and a tech degree, so far, so smart. I really like this girl already.
Unlike the ‘procrastinatrix’ Sarah McPherson. Who says she’s ‘ probably pointless, but can’t be stopped’ and invites readers to email her ‘love letters’.
She may well be smart, literate, interesting, witty etc.
However, she takes self portraits from above.

See here’s a photo of me that I, um, well, don’t want to post online. Except to make a point.
And here’s the one I like instead.
I just wanted to show me using my laptop in the van on tour. See, we had wifi! In the van! Then I realised that first pic was pretty, well, myspace-profile-from-above style.
So yes, more bloggers like Lisa please.
thesaurus 2.0!
yes, it’s not free but it’s AMAZING!
I seriously gasped out loud at this insanely cool app. It’s simply a treat for word-geeks *sigh*
