Randall has figured out how to do many things, so he wrote a new book appropriately called “How To”, which promises to provide absurd scientific advice for common real world problems. Absurd?

Like the Hugo-award winning “Time,” a 3,099 frame animation that unspooled every hour for over four months.

Intelligence SquaredRandall Munroe with Marcus du Sautoy on Making the Complicated SimpleOn 2nd October, Intelligence Squared brought together two of the world’s best-loved masters of explaining and popularising science, who lifted the lid on the technology we love and on the cutting edge of current scientific research. Randall Munroe is a physicist who once built robots for NASA. His webcomic xkcd uses simple cartoons and diagrams to make science funny, touching and incredibly clear. It gets a billion hits a year. In his latest series, Munroe has simplified the workings behind everything from space rockets to smartphones, while using only the thousand most common words in the English language.

Back to WorkEpisode 265: Especially DorisTOPIC: Welcome to Costco. I love you.
This week, Dan and Merlin talk about breakfast sandwiches, the pain and suffering of dealing with Apple IDs, managing kids and their iOS devices, Merlin's weird week with Playstation Vue, and the science (or otherwise) behind iOS's Night Shift.
The main topic this week focuses on quality, values, and self-improvement. Are Dan and Merlin just cloud-yelling old men for wishing writers (and everyone for that matter) would try a little harder? Maybe. Maybe not.

M vs M12: En lingvistisk relativitetsteoriI det första skinande avsnittet 2016 pratar vi lite om att utmana sig och lära sig saker, och sedan jättemycket om påhittade språk. Allt från esperanto och volapük till klingonska och syldaviska. Tack till Niklas Sessler som sparkade igång diskussionen genom att skicka oss ett exemplar av boken Liftarens parlör till galaxen.
