Life, Dr Eve Glazier & Dr Elizabeth Ko, Published on 24/12/2024
» DEAR DOCTORS: I just turned 36, and I'm feeling the effects of drinking more than I used to. My boyfriend and I both have big families, so during this time of year, we have wall-to-wall holiday parties. Last year we did dry January, but this year we want to try a dry-ish December. How do you do that but still have some fun?

Life, Yvonne Bohwongprasert, Published on 15/04/2022
» A medley of fascination and fear exemplifies my relationship with flying. My brain goes into overdrive at the thought of how risky flying can be, but I put aside any thoughts of a crash because I trust in the cutting edge technology used by Boeing and Airbus, the world's two major aircraft manufacturers, to keep me safe.

Life, Chris Baker, Published on 21/01/2022
» The King Of Bangkok is a graphic novel that tells the story of Thai politics over a generation from 1982 to 2012 from the angle of a trio of northeastern villagers drawn to Bangkok. The book aims to subvert more conventional accounts by using fiction rather than "history", by leading with pictures rather than words, and by focusing on ordinary people rather than generals, tycoons and politicians.

Happy birthday, Windows 95
Life, James Hein, Published on 02/09/2020
» Exactly 25 years ago on Monday, Aug 25, Microsoft launched Windows 95. This was a pivotal time in computer history. At that time in the US, only about 20% of households had a computer and most of them were either techies or nerds. The World Wide Web was just starting to grow and the word processor and spreadsheet were also in their early days. Windows 95 changed the landscape from the earlier 16-bit technology to a 32-bit operating system and added a bunch of new features and extensions. It was the first time we saw the start button, long filenames, right-click context menus and the recycle bin along with Plug and Play technology. For those that had a drive, there was a CD for installing programmes and of course the FreeCell game, which I still play today. The marketing campaign, which featured The Rolling Stones, actually had people buying Windows 95 without even owning a computer.
