I paid very little attention. I was in full-blown “It better be likeFinal Fantasy VIIor I don’t care!” mode, which in hindsight is pretty sad to think about, but that’s the honest truth about my mentality back then. Shiny objects and everything. OK, maybe “shiny” isn’t the...
I recognized the species instantly asEuchroma giganteum, perhaps the largest jewel beetle in the world (interestingly, there is a related but slightly smaller species calledEuchroma goliath), and the obviously very old locality label on it stated simply “Peru”. That wasn’t the problem—the s...
In hindsight, though, those key elements look a lot like the lecherous predilections of their all-too-human god-complex founders. That’s not to say that their social critiques were entirely wrong, or that middle class normalcy is necessarily right. But these parallel trajectories remain ...
In hindsight, Stephen Pannell would like to call his Grenache "Garnacha" in recognition of its Spanish origins. He feels French grape varieties have dominated the Australian landscape and there's certainly a bias – even snobbery – from some winemakers and wine writers who believe they are sacr...
In hindsight that may not have been all that necessary given that the Marcus Chronograph Manual Wind – named after Dion’s late, watch-obsessed brother – sold out in next to no time. Theskeletonized Charles X type bridges, visible through the display back, strongly characterises the movement...
Unfortunately, I had no identified specimens of any of the subspecies with which I could compare the specimen, nor was I able to find images of any of the subspecies online. All I had was the literature, and most of it was written in German and French and published more than 100 years...
In hindsight I am really glad this worked out. I had never grown wheat grass before and I had no party centerpiece back-up plan. No centerpiece back-up plan? I am constantly living on the edge I tell ya! After a bit of searching online, I learned that red wheat berries are the ...

In hindsight, this album contains perhaps the richest examples of achievement reached by ‘first phase’ Eyeless in Gaza. We were still using our ‘first thought’ approach to recording and rehearsing, right enough – but, by this time, we’d honed the beast and were staring to control it ...
Forty years ago we had less scientific evidence regarding all the factors that we can identify as weaknesses in Luhmann’s theory with the vision of hindsight. But already in the late 1990s, during Luhmann’s lifetime, educated people had access to plenty of indicators and warning signs, that...
