DNA/How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet This piece first appeared in the News Review section of The Sunday Times on August 29th 1999. A couple of years or so ago I was a guest on Start The Week, and I was authoritatively informed by a very distinguished journalist that the whole Internet thing was just a silly fad like ham radio in the fifties, and that if I thought any different I was really a bit naïve.

One for the Kids: Houdini's Copy of the Book of 'Scientific Amusements' - Alexis C. Madrigal A relic from the age when the magic of the fundamental properties of the universe was embedded in the everyday. Harry Houdini liked a good science experiment. He was a magician, yes, and an escape artist, too, but both of those pursuits also made him an amateur scientist. Science found, Houdini applied, audiences raved.

The book was gifted to the Library of Congress and now available as part of a special collection online.
