Thoughts from the Loo

what's this?

Random thoughts (often deteriorating into rants) that came to my mind while in the loo. Half-baked reactions to something read, heard or experienced. Some in English, some in Croatian. More here.
An interesting word on blogging in general here.

What do those silly letters between brackets mean, anyway?

Hardly anything there, just ancient bookmarks and list of my sizable CD collection

Photos (with an occasional caption) from my stay in Paris. Hundreds are yet to be posted. I plan to make similar pages for Zagreb, but I have to get there first :-)

Anna's land
Anna is an Italian lady who has a way with words, and with whose opinions I tend to agree. Her blog contains links to several other interesting people.

A slightly different prespective on (mostly American) media; take a look through the whole site.

If you think there is world beyond CNN, there indeed is; take a look at these 'alternative' news & views sites. Audiatur et altera pars...

[E][P] Who Gets Hit on the Head

'Forbes' has an article on steroids being more harmful than useful in treating head injuries. While mildly interesting as kind of medical trivia I like to read about, what makes the article appearing in the blog is this:
In general, Roberts said, "there is little clinical research in brain injuries. Most treatments for brain injuries are unproven. They may be useless or harmful as well."
Roberts contended there is a lack of interest in head injury research because "the people who suffer these injuries tend to be poor." Many of the injuries are caused by person-to-person violence, he said, and "there is a strong relationship between pedestrian injuries and poverty. Poor people are the ones who walk around, and they are the ones most likely to by hit by an automobile."
In other words, better to spend research money on something important, like liposuction.
