Who Needs Harvard? The author argues that students can get just as good an education at schools other than the "top" schools. I agree--education is what you make of it and not where the school is ranked.
Feynman Lectures. Eeee! Okay, so I didn't really scream like a crazy fangirl when I came across this link, but I was excited. All three volumes of the late great physicist's lectures are online in pdf and mp3.
Lakota Winter Counts. "The Lakota marked the passage of time by drawing pictures of memorable events on calendars known as winter counts." Awesome anthropological exhibit from the Smithsonian.
Flesch-Kincaid: Threat or Menace? The works of bestselling authors have surprisingly low reading levels--which makes sense if you think about it. "Normal" people won't buy your books if you use too many big words.
Admission. (via Reflections in d minor) Oh great. Do I really have to spill the beans? Well, I have only two words for you: Microbe Overlords. (What? And you thought all my science posts were just for fun?)
Hugo Award Shortlist. I've only started reading one of the novels, I've read one of the novellas, seen two of the movies, read stuff that have been edited by three of the editors, remember two of the artists, seen three of the semiprozines, only heard of one of the fan writers, and visited three of the nominated websites. I am such a sci-fi slacker.
