A while back we talked about Andrée's photographs -- film found at the crash site of his Arctic ballooning expedition, found 30 years after he died.

Still on hiatus as we try to find some direction, blog-wise. But in the meantime, a reader submission.

Livemarks, a real-time narrative of what people are interested in, at least del.icio.us people.

MIT's Society of Women Engineers listserv seems to have reached consciousness and gotten out of control, signing up half the world. This protest reached my email box (and I imagine the rest of the list's) this morning:
