Erratum

I just got back from your website. Love the design, minimalist Okudagram is an excellent format and it definitely achieves the stated aim. Fascinating content, even if I only understood about half of it! I haven't started trying to decipher preamble yet, but it's the sort of thing I've been into before, so I'll probably give it a go soon.
Two points: in the bit about genetic engineering you mention the movie "Gattica". It should be spelled "Gattaca". In much the same way as you only realise some of the significance of links in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency much later, it was a good six months before idle reflection made me realise why the title of a film about genetic engineering would be spelled using only the letters A, C, G and T....
Also, in the section on Douglas Adams, you've (a) not mentioned his recent death and (b) not mentioned the excellent "Meaning of Liff" and "Deeper Meaning of Liff" which he wrote with John Lloyd.
Great site though...
