Wii Remote Internals

SparkFun Electronics has an article up documenting the Wii Remote internals. I love these internal/undocumented type articles, which is probably why I always liked to read John Carmack's agony-inducing .plan updates.

Study Shows Why the Flu Likes Winter - New York Times

Study Shows Why the Flu Likes Winter - New York Times covers a recent study on the transmissability of flue -- it's the cold, dry days. This is fascinating, because for years the fears were about being in crowded spaces or something to do with schools. It turns out flu survives much better in cool (41°) dry air. Flu doesn't live well at room temperatures or high humidity. Good to know.
