Hello!
For links I’m discovering in REAL TIME, you can check out my del.icio.us feed to the bottom right side of the page. The list is constantly updating and full of whimsy – promise.
But today, I’d like to highlight a few that deserve special recognition:
www.edge.org This site is all deep stuff, all the time. It’s stated goal: “To arrive at the world’s knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves.” Heady! One of my favorite psychologists slash philosophers, Steven Pinker is on their front page – so I gotta respect.
UNIVERSE A friend sent me this link a few days ago – and it gave me a fuzzy feeling inside and made me smile. After finding out a little more about Jonathan Harris, the creator of ..uh, the Universe, as well as the project’s origins, I became even more intrigued. (And not just because he’s a tall drink of water. Okay, maybe a little bit because of that – so sue me.)
Home is where the heart is. I may be thousands of miles away, but I’m still thinking about you, Shanghai. Thanks to photographer Jakob Montrasio, I can remember it as the comic book Future-Fantasyland I had dreamt it to be. Oh man, my poetics are making even me nauseous. I’ll stop here.
