Science Fiction Author on Trial (NIH trial, that is!) — The fundraiser for my NIH collateral expenses continues. If you haven’t already done so, please do check it out and pass the word.

The London Array — The world’s largest wind farm has been planted just off of the mouth of the River Thames. Oh, cool photos.

Are We Alone? NASA’s 30-Year Goal to Answer Astrophysics’ Greatest Question — “For the first time, we will identify continents and oceans—and perhaps the signatures of life—on distant worlds,” says NASA in its 30-year vision for astrophysics.

Moreover, Brother King was not beholden to either political party. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. held the Republicans in especially low regard. (Via threeoutside.)
