Clive Thompson on Science Fiction
"If you want to read books that tackle profound philosophical questions, then the best — and perhaps only — place to turn these days is sci-fi. Science fiction is the last great literature of ideas."
Have you ever wondered what space smells like? Yeah, me neither.
NASA beams the Beatles into space
NASA broadcast "Across The Universe" into outer space using the Deep Space Network. Asked to comment, Paul McCartney wisely noted, "Amazing! Well done, NASA! Send my love to the aliens."
The Environmentally Non-Disturbing Under-ice Robotic Antarctic Explorer (ENDURANCE) is a $2.3 million project funded by NASA's Astrobiology Science and Technology for Exploring Planets Program. It's autonomous underwater vehicle designed to swim untethered under ice, creating three-dimensional maps of underwater environments, and ostensibly is a test for exploring Europa, the icy Jovian moon that just might harbor life.

I love it when the New York Times gets all tripped out on science stuff.

Universe goes analog!
Archived From January 18, 2006
In a classic temporal reversal, this advanced self-publishing machine (ie, the "web-log") has been converted into a bi-monthly print column in the LA Alternative, a Los Angeles-area lifestyle newspaper, now the only alternative weekly in the city since the LA Weekly's deep sell out. Logistically, the switchover means this: I will be writing a new "Universe" every other week which will appear first in the LA Alternative, then, a few days later, on this blog. This blog itself will remain an exclusive source of "Recent Mountain" links, web-only entries, and discussion. I will also get paid.
This development has only increased my befuddlement regarding the sudden legitimacy of the "blog" as a format, but I am running with it. Homies, I am excited for a new inter-media, inter-textual, scientific discourse. Readers of the paper column will be (and are) prompted to continue the discourse on the more communal, more expanded internet format. If you will, the column is a hyperlink to a larger conversation.

Don't forget CityBeat/ValleyBeat...the only newspaper which features old hippy Mick Farren continuously writing about how much better they are than the LA Weekly because they didn't sell out.

This makes me so incredibly happy! You deserve it so deeply. Man, URHO needs to just take over all medias, analog and digital. Television is next, dudes!
