The Comic Book Reader allows you to view scanned comic books on your computer. The comic book is scanned and saved as Jpegs and are numbered in order starting from 00.jpg. You are able to browse for your folder containing the specific comic book you want to read within the application. Also, the application loads a brief description of the comic you are about to read from a stored text file in the specific comic book folder, so you don’t have to remember or search the Internet for a description.

Phiculator (pronounced "fye·cu·la·tor") is a simple tool which, given any number, will calculate the corresponding number according to the golden ratio. Useful to anyone wishing to create anything with divine proportions!

On this page we meet some of the marvellous flat (that is, two dimensional) geometry facts related to the golden section number Phi. A following page turns our attention to the solid world of 3 dimensions.

A number of researchers now argue that talent means nothing like what we think it means, if indeed it means anything at all. A few contend that the very existence of talent is not, as they carefully put it, supported by evidence.
