A bunch of notables for anybody fancying a change of scene…
The Federation of American Scientists have launched a couple of blogs: Secrecy News, which is a mirror of Steven Aftergood’s estimable Secrecy News email newsletter, and the Strategic Security Project Blog, which is going to cover all kinds of goodies such as nuclear weapons, arms control and biosecurity.
I found the PhysOrg mailing list via Warren Ellis‘ site. It details what’s hot in science, physics and space and is great for the occasional “they can do what now?” moment.
PS. This is the greatest achievement of human endeavour. It’s the end of history. Pack up and go home everybody.
Try it, it’s life affirming. When the cataclysm finally strikes and those of us who survive are eking out our miserable, brutal existence in the Arctic Circle, it will come as huge consolation when you remember you once got the best Doctor Who to ring your Mum and Dad to tell them you loved them.

Excellent. I love all that shit!
I got one of those Tom Baker messages a couple of days ago when BT wanted to tell me they’d fixed a fault on my other phone line – it was really weird, it just BOOMED out of the handset.
Two problems:
1) The full stops in the message were read out as “dot”
2) he was telling lies
( The fault on the line wasn’t fixed at all
But it was quite an experience nonetheless.
