Michio Kaku: The Universe in a Nutshell
This was filmed before the Large Hadron Collider was built and the Higgs Boson found.
Sorry for the goofy-delayed subtitles but that’s what we have.

Google+ mentions make their way to Blogger
Now, Blogger users can put a "+" before a person's name, and have a link to their Google+ profile automatically included in their post.
Google's Blogger platform now comes with a way for writers to link to a friend or company's Google+ page.
When typing out a post in Blogger, users can now input a "+" before a person's or brand's name. Upon choosing the right profile, a link will be displayed in the published post, allowing readers to go to the subject's Google+ page or profile. Hovering the mouse over the link displays a card showing a profile picture and a little more information on the person or brand.

We remember Carl Sagan today
on the 16th anniversary of his passing.
(image courtesy of Wikipedia)
We remember you fondly. Maybe I’ll watch Cosmos again. Or better yet, re-read The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, in my opinion his best book, and I read many of them.
