Star Trek 9. Insurrection
Movie number 9, the third TNG based one. And another good one if you ask me. It has drama, suspense and mystery, betrayal and even a love story with Picard as one of the lovers. Of course it stays all very dignified, Picard never losing control. The movie starts with Data malfunctioning and being out…

This 500+ pages book contains all the stories from Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman and What do you care what other people think. If you have already read these 2 books and maybe own them then there is not much new. Unless you are a true fan. There is a foreword by Freeman Dyson and…

Star Trek 8. First Contact
This is the first completely TNG movie without any TOS characters involved anymore. In it 2 stories are cleverly intertwined. The first one is the one about how humankind developed the warp drive and made contact with the Vulcans, the First Contact with extra terrestrials. The second one is about the Borg attack on Earth…

What do you care what other people think, Richard Feynman (ISBN 978-0393355642, W. W. Norton & Company)
This is the follow up of the bestselling Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman. It is quite a bit thinner, only 230 pages or so and of a different nature. Where Surely You’re Joking had a lot of relatively short funny stories with Feynman playing the ‘comedian’ this book is a lot more serious in tone.…

Star Trek 7. Generations
As the title suggests this is the first Star Trek movie with the TNG crew starring. It is actually a transition from TOS to TNG in the sense that a couple of the old crew still appear at the beginning of the movie when Kirk, Scottie and Chekov join the maiden voyage of Enterprise B…

Philips Natlab. Kraamkamer van ASML, NXP en de CD, Paul van Gerven (ISBN 978-082707410, Techwatch Books)
Ik kwam dit boek toevallig tegen in een artikel en heb het gelijk gekocht vanwege de link van Natlab met ASML. Het is een kleine 400 pagina’s dik maar ik heb het deze week voor de tweede keer gelezen en het was in 4 dagen uit. Voor wie interesse heeft in technologie uit de lage…

Star Trek 6. The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek 6 begins like many of the previous Star Trek movies with titling against a starry sky. But the accompanying music score is uncharacteristically ominous. This creates certain expectations and the movie doesn’t disappoint. This is the last Star Trek movie with the TOS crew and it ends with a thriller in whodunnit in…

Writing Fractions In HTML
I have been thinking about digitising my notes of mathematics and physics exercises done over the years and one option would be to add them to my blog. As I don’t have a business subscription I cannot use a math editor. One option available to me is to use LATEX but for some of the…
