Rooftop with a view

I discovered today that my building has a rooftop patio with an amazing view of the surroundings mountains and the Goettingen valley. I even sunbathed. :) I would post pictures (of the view, not of me sunbathing) but alas, still no digicam. *Ahem* *birthday present* *cough* --clears throat-- Excuse me. As I was saying...
I also discovered that it's vital to have good, inspiring books with you at all times. In those moments when inspiration is lacking, I turn to one of my favourite science books (no, not the textbook kind) and read about all the cool things people have thought and done and the interesting stories associated with this event or that discovery. That all said, I also found a cute little program called VoiceCandy that will record anything you say into your computer's microphone... and if you should so desire it will even lend your voice one of eight cool themes, including Darth Vader, Old Radio and Chipmunk. Oh, and by the same people who make VoiceCandy is Podcast Maker, which I have yet to try but would in theory enable me to join the ranks of such eminent internet-enthusiasts as Munir Squires (no relation) and Co. But before that, I'm going to try using VoiceCandy to dictate to myself, as I've found writing off the cuff to be a great challenge.
