Feed Your Brain

By Darryl Mason

So, plenty of interesting things I come across online I would have once blogged about here, or at least included in an infrequent collection of short news bits called Feed Your Brain, but I now post them on Twitter here instead, neglecting this blog. Then again, the Twitter version of what I do here contains far less waffle from me.

This is a round-up of tweets of interest from the past month. Enjoy.
