360 degree mirror

Still can’t make up my mind about this, even though it’s been widely reviewed. Check the comments on Gizmodo. Feels like one of those viral April Fools. A 7-sided mirror you can mount on the wall with suction pads… The gadget folds out with three mirrors on either side, and the central mirror lights up for added value. Looks very practical… $40 from Get Organized.com

Comply or Die - wins the Grand National

Comply or Die ridden by stalwart Timmy Murphy, wins the National. “It’s the best ride I’ve ever had,’ said Murphy, moments after the race. “He’s got into a lovely rhythm, jumped fantastic and picked up for me again when Paul Carberry came up to me [on King Johns Castle]. It hasn’t sunk in yet.” The ride was Murphy’s 11^th attempt at the Grand National, and a beginner’s luck victory for the nine-year old Comply or Die, his first National. Full story

Beyond UFOs - Jeffrey Bennett

According to the buzz of reviews surrounding Jeffrey Bennett’s new release, Beyond UFOs is a fascinating read. In a nutshell, Christopher McKay at NASA describes the book as: “Precise, accurate, lucid, and engaging. This is popular-science writing at its best.”

“Planet by planet, moon by moon, [Beyond UFOs] explores the possibility of life elsewhere in this solar system. It then speculates about other solar systems in our galaxy where, according to the prevailing scientific view, simple life almost surely exists and intelligent life is plausible. For the most part, Bennett’s search for extraterrestrial life adds up to a very satisfying package. . . . At its core, this book delivers a combination that is hard to beat: solid yet highly speculative science plus accessible prose that add up to an out-of-this-world reading experience.” Fred Bortz, Seattle Times

Jeffrey Bennett is an astrophysicist and an expert in astrobiology – a new field of study that draws on geology, biology and astronomy to look at the origin and evolution of the universe. Beyond UFOs is said to be an astonishing journey through this new field, and a humanitarian call to arms.

“Science is a way of helping people come to agreement,” Bennett says, and he argues that in order to be prepared to meet intelligent life, “we must solve global warming, debilitating disease, terrorism, poverty, and war. We must use our compassion to teach all people to respect all others, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or gender.” Publisher’s Weekly. “[A] political message couched in fascinating and completely accessible science.”
