I have just created a business-like web site. It is amazing how quick it is to create a professional-looking web presentation.
I have spent some time creating the header image and am thrilled by the capabilities of Expression Designer. This tool is all I imagined a nice drawing tool should be like. It has lots of features that were present in Corel Draw years ago but I haven't seen Corel around for a while.
Anyway, I'm thinking about having a nice web site that I could use as my business presentation. Obviously, I'm now considering going private sometimes down the line. This is the option I used to avoid but lately it seems more acceptable.

Science Books to Read

Couple of my work colleagues were discussing some interesting titles so I'm putting their titles here in order not to forget. As the saying goes, "When putting something into memory, always remember where you put it."

So, the titles are... Down to the rabbit hole, and Elegant Universe. Some of these are books and some are documentaries. Good preparation for a YouTube night, I guess.
