- Simon Schubert – Illustration by scoring and folding.
- Mars Global Surveyor MOC2-368 Release –
- Astrometry Bags a ‘Cold Jupiter’ – “We found a Jupiter-like planet at around the same relative place as our Jupiter, only around a much smaller star. It’s possible this star also has inner rocky planets. And since more than seven out of 10 stars are small like this one, this could mean planets are more common than we thought.”
- Meteorites a Key to Habitability? – "the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) some four billion years ago wasn’t an average time. The research team used models of meteoritic impact rates during the bombardment to calculate that billions of tons of carbon dioxide and water vapor would have been delivered to Earth’s atmosphere each year over the entire twenty million years that spanned the LHB. "
- INTERVIEW PROJECT – NEW EPISODE EVERY THREE DAYS – David Lynch interviews people and posts a video every three days for a year.
- Weird Science – Boing Boing – "Our conscious minds display some of the same features as quantum mechanics. When we're not thinking about anything in particular, our thoughts evolve in a continuous, multi-universe kind of way—but when we focus on something, we carry out something like the quantum collapse that characterizes the process of measurement.

- Possible site of free will found in brain – life – 07 May 2009 – New Scientist – "When a neurosurgeon electrically jolted this region in patients undergoing surgery, they felt a desire to, say, wiggle their finger, roll their tongue or move a limb. Stronger electrical pulses convinced patients they had actually performed these movements, although their bodies remained motionless."
- NATURAL HISTORY OF THE ENIGMA – "Eduardo Kac, Natural History of the Enigma, transgenic flower with artist's own DNA expressed in the red veins, 2003/2008."
- Lost in Space | Articles | Features | Fortean Times UK – "What really happened to Russia's missing cosmonauts? An incredible tale of space hacking, espionage and death in the lonely reaches of space."
- POLAROID KIDD at NEEDLES+PENS – "Mike Brodie aka 'The Polaroid Kidd' is a somewhat accidental documentary photographer. By photographing his friends, their homes, and lifestyles, Brodie has captured a marginalized segment of the American population that's not so prevalent in main stream society. His haunting photos of hobos, punks, and squatters criss-crossing the country in boxcars are reminiscent of Horace Bristol's Grapes of Wrath era pics that captured migrant workers on their way to California ….except now with facial tattoos. "
- Gliese 581d – Waterworld – "The planet is likely to have a makeup similar to Neptune or Uranus, which are dominated by ices of water, ammonia and methane. In the warmth of the habitable zone, these substances should form a sea thousands of kilometres deep"

Delicious bookmarks for November 11th through November 20th:
- Why the universe may be teeming with aliens – space – 19 November 2008 – New Scientist – "As astronomers explore newly discovered planets and create computer simulations of virtual worlds, they are discovering that water, and life, might exist on all manner of weird worlds where conditions are very different from those on Earth. And that means there could be vastly more habitable planets out there than we thought possible."
- The Last Viridian Note – Bruce Sterling – "The hours you
waste stumbling over your piled debris, picking, washing, storing, re-storing,
those are hours and spaces that you will never get back in a mortal lifetime.
Basically, you have to curate these goods: heat them, cool them, protect them
from humidity and vermin. Every moment you devote to them is lost to your
children, your friends, your society, yourself."
- Photo Gallery: The World of Trench Warfare in Color – SPIEGEL ONLINE – News – International – "The overwhelming majority of photos taken during World War I were black and white, lending the conflict a stark aesthetic which dominates our visual memory of the war."
- Jesus Christ » In the Name of the Gun – Jesus fights Nazis
- The Phoenix > Lifestyle Features > Space cowboy – "For more than 50 years, UConn physics professor Ronald Mallett had a secret. Now that it's out, we may be one step closer to traveling back in time."
