You may have noticed the stealthy new arrival of a “Technology” category on the blog. I do get some whizzy gadgets to review every so often so I figured some of you might be interested in whether to hand over hard-earned dollars, pounds sterling, etc on these shiny things.
The latest I’ve got is the Miglia TVMax+, which lets you record video on your Mac. Anyone interested in my well-thought-out opinion on it?
Y’all remember Stargate when Kurt Russell and James Spader meet the nice Egyptian descendants and offer them chocolate as a sign of friendship, right?
Well, isn’t the ability to process lactose in adulthood a relatively recent (c. 3000 years ago) genetic mutation that originated predominantly in European farmers? Since the alien humans are descendants of Egyptians from 10,000 years ago, wouldn’t they be lactose intolerant and therefore likely to get diarrhoea as a result of their chocolate bar gifts?
Maybe it should be in the standard “meeting alien” protocols: don’t offer them milk chocolate, only dark or white chocolate, in case they’re lactose intolerant?
Just a thought.
No more news until Tuesday, but there’ll probably be other stuff over the weekend, probably about my impending heart attack from over-work.
