I'll be at the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering in Sarajevo until June 26. I will probably be reading email sporadically, but don't count on it. :)

Science Made Stupid
All you ever wanted to know about the Universe, Matter & Energy, and the parentage of Adam and Eve's daughter-in-law.
A full discussion of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle may be found in the Appendix. (Then again, it may not.)
Hilarious!

Supreme Court Restores Rule Of Law To Guantánamo
This is a landmark decision. Of course we will have to see whether it is actually implemented, and naturally it won't apply to any of the black sites, but if nothing else, it has an important symbolic value. It is inspiring to see that at least there are some men and women still willing to defend the rule of the law.

kyrah's book recommendation of the month
A brilliant introduction to our current understanding of the universe. In presenting the beautiful mathematical principles that lie behind the laws of physics, Penrose goes far beyond the superficiality of most "popular science" books. Yet he develops all the more advanced concepts from the basics of undergraduate maths, so you don't need a PhD in physics to follow him on his amazing journey to the frontiers of what we know.
This is the book I've been looking for for the last decade, without ever truly beliving it had actually been written. Awesome.

HeinleinSpecialization is for insects.”
