Check out my friend (and favorite scientist) Phoebe's new venture, The Call of Science: how we became scientists, and why.
From Lens Culture: "In 1936, a 16-year-old Dutch girl played a shooting gallery game at the fair: hit the target and a camera takes a photo, which the girl receives as a prize. Almost every year between then and now, Ria van Dijk shot the target and got her prize." via.
And more great photos: Skeletons in the Closet documents the behind the scenes workings of the Natural History Museum in Vienna. Great stuff.
Good question: why can't Jimmy Smits hold down a tv show? It's true! He's totally charming, was great on Dexter and NYPD Blue, but his attempts to headlining shows recently have been complete disasters (Outlaw was even worse than Cane).
This is how I make a quick cup of (decaf) coffee every morning - I'm always impressed by how simple it is and how well it works.
