2 shows that I enjoyed, check it out if you like…
The first was Nova – Newton’s Dark Secrets. Enjoyable documentary, there was so much more to Newton than i knew, preety interesting.
My little reminder about refraction of light – Swimming in the pool last friday, underestimating the distance to the wall…yeah i have a bump on my forehead. silly!
The second is ‘The Dark Side’ – After 9/11, ‘…the battle between the vice president and the CIA — a battle that many believe has destroyed the CIA.’ More info about the pre-iraq war cabal. You can watch the program on the link above on Thursday June 22nd. (Whis – Where are you?)
spicey I will get to the tag soon 
The Dark Side just popped up on my torrent site …. no guessing what I will do next

Newton was quitet the chap….
LOL! Iwe funzo kwako. You probably swam out of the pool and into the changing room!
haki woiyee unanicheka?! its all good ngoja tu.
I just happen to be reading Timothy Ferris’s Coming of Age in the Milky Way, a splendid history of astronomy. The chapter on Newton does indeed go into his mystical pursuits and that thin line (which we so-called moderns have tried to abolish) between “empirical” science and our deeper mythic longings.
I am a new reader, and how I came to find your blog is another story, a more pressing one having to do with my insomniac attempts to help a family friend, a Kenyan, stay in the U.S. I think I will lurk politely around the wonderful KenyanUnlimited ring for a day or two until I know how to approach this question. As a fellow blogger, I wouldn’t want someone like me just crashing the party. Where are my manners?
great work, I will come back to read again.
Loved the “Dark Side” – I love such analytical behind-the-scenes in-depth pieces. You might like “The Architect” and “The Choice 2004″ also from FRONTLINE.
Heh heh, pole sana about the bump.
i love Nova! rarely do you see such a well-made and educative show that is a pleasure to watch! PBS rocks!!
