Updated 10 June 2008: Here’s a brief story on Snow Leopard.

I saw something the other day (sorry, no link) saying that the next version of OS X, 10.6, will be called Snow Leopard. What happens when Apple runs out of big cat names?

Here’s a good, though long, article on caffeine. Hightlights:

• Per capita caffeine consumption in the US increased almost 20% since 1995. Starbuck’s, anyone?
• Caffeine can cross the blood/brain barrier, unlike many drugs.
• In 30 to 45 minutes after ingestion, it is in every cell.
• Caffeine consumption is self limiting as at higher dosages one gets the shakes, etc. This is unlike other stimulant drugs such as cocaine.
• Women metabolize caffeine twice as fast as men.
• The most serious ill effects are sleeplessness and stress.
• … there’s more, you’ll have to read the linked article.

For me, caffeine is vitamin C.
