Yoni has moved to a new site: http://www.yonitheblogger.com/

He's still blogging on news from Israel and Lebanon.

If you happen to be in an enclosed space without adequate cooling today, here's a post that might be useful: It describes how animals evolved fins, how they developed the concept of sides and symmetries, how they determined top from bottom.
