In an effort to unify my professional web presence and my blogging I have moved this blog to www.sebastian-sanne.com/journal. Please head over there to grab the new RSS feed, in case you are a feed subscriber.

This move is also meant to make blogging easier and more enjoyable to me, potentially resulting in a more steady publication frequency.

Since I’m still trying to find a new style for blogging – the blog being on my professional website – I ask you to bear with me until I’ve accomplished that. If you don’t like what you see, please let me know!

Thank you for reading this blog, and see you on the other side!

Follow me to the new blog now, if you like.

According to information of the New York Times the US Government has ordered the killing or capture of the islamist terrorist, Anwar al-Awlaki.

The target is suspected to have had dealings with several terrorists in the US and elsewhere. Although a US citizen, this guy has no access to a lawyer, will not be tried, and has no means to show proof of his innocence.

Don’t get me wrong, I am willing to believe that al-Awlaki is a dangerous terrorist.

You have to ask yourself, though, what it means for a western country to break the division of power this openly, and putting a kill order on a citizen.

It seems that European bees are dying unnaturally fast.

With pesticides being the most likely reason, this could be disastrous for any culture. Bees do most of the pollinating, so “no bees no food”.

Combine that with a loss of crops from climate change in the next thirty years and you have a global catastrophe. Jiminy.

Researchers at Princeton found out that high-fructose corn syrup can lead to a much higher weight gain than other sugars, thus providing evidence for rumors that I’ve heard floating around for a few years in North America.

I knew that stuff was evil. And it’s everywhere in the US (but not in Canada).

Fascinating to find this to be written like a business textbook.
