Times of my birth

In this post, I will share some anecdotes concerning events on and around the day of my birth. I’ve already mentioned when and where I was born, and I’ve already mentioned Hadrian’s Havenue, but there are still some stories left to be told.

Website recommendations relevant to this post include Behind the Name (a comprehensive list of baby names) and Name Voyager (a graphical tool in Java showing the popularity of names over time).

The Web keeps on evolving

I’ve just learned from The Millenium Project that the works of Charles Darwin are now online.

While I’m on the subject, let me recommend the following related websites (I’ve been vaguely planning to do some sort of irregular “Websites of the Day” feature on this blog for some time):

• Australian Skeptics
• Talk Origins archives
• Evolving Thoughts by John Wilkins
• Australian Faunal Directory

[Update June 2007: there is a European equivalent of the above Faunal Directory which I think might as well be linked to from this post.]
