Subscribe to RSSWe're finishing up the first week for the new blog design, and although there may be a few tricks I still need to learn, the process so far has been fairly painless. One of the new features is the ability to publish "clippings" from other sources on the Web. This is a nice, easy way to supplement your daily dose of science, but it doesn't really give you a chance to comment on the links or talk more generally about what's on your mind. So I'll continue to offer a weekend roundup of Web links, just like this one. Feel free to leave comments about other reports you've seen on the Web, or weigh in with your own cosmic commentary. Regular postings will resume on Tuesday.
- The Economist: A robot in every home
- The New Yorker: What did Jesus do?
- New Scientist: Nanofoods on the menu
- L.A. Times: Trying to predict pre-terrorism
... And a closing thought: Remember the reason for the Memorial Day season.

Here's a report from my colleague Bob Sullivan's field trip (literally) that may put you in the right frame of mind for Memorial Day: http://redtape.msnbc.com
Adam Gopnik wrote a fantastic article for The New Yorker: What did Jesus do? The debate will never end. It seems easier to have a personal viewpoint and beliefs. But if you let them be known to too many people who don't feel the same way...It's amazing how the pendulum swings back and forth. Same old story, in a way, just a different author.
But it looks to be a good year for really interesting Jesus books.
The video of The Onion article was hilarious! "Christian groups want Armageddon taught alongside global warming." Now, if the Christian schools would make a real video on teaching kids about global warming...well, I can see why a lot of home schooling goes on in some Christian families.
I remember the scene from Sybil, where her mother would scream out Armageddon! That was scary!
Hey Alan, I just figured out how" spellcheck" works on this blog. It's different from the one on my computer (really). This one even has the wrod "Armageddon" programed into it. I know--I just did that on purpose; "wrod"--so my dyslexia doesn't feel too ignored. ;-)
