"I am so
lonely." Search Google using
that
phrase and you may end up
here. Some of
the posts in this thread really resonate, "I feel so much better
that I am not the only one that typed in "I am lonely" on
google. How pathetic that I have nothing better to do. It is amazing
that I can be so extremely successful at work and so lonely at
home."

Hubble
harvests 100 new planets during a 7-day sweep of the bulge of the
Milky Way.. If confirmed it would almost double the number of known
planets to about 230. "I think this work has the potential to be
the most significant advance in discovering extra-solar planetary
systems since the first planets were discovered in the
mid-1990s."

First sight of alien planets
First sight of alien planets
03/23/2005 08:36 PMDavid Pescovitz:
Astronomers used the
NASA Spitzer Space Telescope to see planets outside our
solar system for the first time ever. Previously, scientists have
inferred the existence of more than 100 planets by detecting a
gravity-induced wobble or shift in light in the stars that they orbit.
Yesterday, the astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics and the Goddard Space Flight Center announced that they
directly observed the infrared radiation emitted by two planets 153
and 500 light-years away. (Seen here is a NASA
artist's concept.) From the New York Times:
They said directly measuring light from the planets was a major step
in the quest to understand what alien planets are made of, because
different molecules in the atmosphere absorb infrared light in
characteristic ways and allow scientists to compare these alien
planets to those in the solar system. Ultimately, astronomers would
like to know if Earth, with its ability to evolve and support life, is
unique or common in the universe....
Dr. Geoffrey W. Marcy, a planet hunter at the University of
California, Berkeley, called the results "the stuff of history books"
and added, "With this result, we are closer to understanding our own
human roots, chemically, among the stars."

Alien Planets Tell Tales With Colors
Alien Planets Tell Tales With Colors
03/23/2005 07:57 PMTwo teams of Astronomers this week discovered the color of two
planets by using infrared radiation. This break-through will allow
experts to discover what the planet’s surface or
atmosphere are made of. This is a major finding. According to Astronomy Magazine,
Charbonneau's group used the Spitzer Space
Telescope's Infrared Array Camera to home in on the light from TrES-1,
a "hot Jupiter" zipping around a Sun-like star about 500 light-years
from Earth in the constellation Lyra. The astronomers tracked the
intensity of two infrared "colors" as the planet passed behind its
star, an event called secondary eclipse. The team subtracted the
star's radiation from the total seen when the planet was not eclipsed
by the star. Measuring the gas giant's infrared radiation allowed the
team to calculate its temperature — a sizzling 1,450° F
(1,060 kelvins). Charbonneau suspects his group has also found the
spectral fingerprint of carbon monoxide in the planet's atmosphere,
but, he says, "We're going to go back and get more data."

Lonely Brains Club - A Rambling,
Incoherent Thought
Lonely Brains Club - A Rambling,
Incoherent Thought
03/13/2003 10:23 AMA metaphor or scene I often envisage when I think about blogging and
the new forms social interaction it permits, is a scene from the Steve
Martin classic,
The Man
With Two Brains.
In particular, the scene in the movie
where Steve Martin's character, the fantastically named Dr. Michael
Hfuhruhurr, finds himself inside a laboratory where the brains of
several deceased people sit suspended in fluid filled jars, connected
to life support systems to keep the brains alive. In the movie Martin
discovers that he can actually converse with the brains, the 'people'
inside them don't realise that they're actually dead, if my memory
serves me, instead they think that it just happens to be very dark in
the room they think they are sitting in. Martin meets and falls in
love with one of the brains, a female brain voiced by Sissy Spacek,
and then decides to rescue her from the lab. See the movie, it's a
classic.
But this particular scene perfectly describes for
me the non-physical, disconnected nature of blogging as a social
phenomenon, just brains sitting around talking to other brains.
Blogging enables us to patch directly into each other's brains in an
unconventional way that, whilst having much in common with that plain
old form of social interaction otherwise known as reading & writing,
blogging increases the frequency of communication and adds a much more
flexible dynamism to enable a form of interaction more akin to regular
conversation between people in the same room, but conversation
unencumbered by physical appeal or revulsion, body language, accent,
race or sex..
The question is, as bloggers, is the thing
which drives us to blogging actually an intellectual desire or need to
be with and to connect with people of similar lonely brain
dispositions? Instead of the short-form lonely hearts adverts, where
BMW driving SWM's search out FLF's with a GSOH and affected short term
interests in the arts, good food and the interminable works of John
Grisham, blogging is a long-form and grey-matter cousin where
like-minded people with lonely brains, seek each other out and relate
on new, Web enabled socio-intellectual terms.
There is the
chance that we all suffer from the same kind of longing, a need to
connect with our intellectual peers in ways our offline relationships
either don't currently satisfy or cannot provide because of geography
or other physical impediment. I have 'conversations' with people
through blogging that my wife, my soul-mate, knows absolutely nothing
about. That's not to say that we don't connect intellectually, it's
just that other real-life stuff gets in the way and anyway, she'd
eventually bore of listening to me droning on and on about using
websites as impromptu torches. After all as bloggers it's not like
we're making love, just having sex, speaking blogaphorically of
course.
But am I being unfaithful in a different sense of
the word? Am I playing away from home by taking part in blogging? I've
only met a three other bloggers in real life,
Chris Locke,
Halley Suitt and
Euan Semple, and I
suppose in this equation that would be like consummating the bloggage?
In fact, I vaguely recall it being almost as much fun.

Xeni Jardin:
Last week in LA, I went to a
Channel
101 screening -- monthly events where a edgy creatives show short
films before a live audience, who in turn vote the work on or off the
proverbial viewing island. The project isn't a cable TV show yet, but
it ought to be. I understand they recently shot a pilot for Fox, so
perhaps it will.
One of the teams who participate regularly in the Channel 101
showdowns is The Lonely
Island, and they've just posted a bunch of their work online. It's
terrific stuff. One of their pieces, which screened at last week's
event, is a dry, deadpan music video performed by two guys, called,
uh, "Just 2 Guyz." (MPEG-4 Link,
MPEG-1
Link, 2 min.). I loved their "Nintendo" animated short, too (MPEG / Quicktime, 3
min.)
Episodes of the Lonely Island short series The 'Bu are here (Link), with Sarah
Chalke of Scrubs and Roseanne fame. Other celeb
links -- Brooke Shields has a 5-minute bit in the begining of Episode
2: Regarding Ardy. (Link). Kal
Penn (of Harold and Kumar and Gilmore Girls) plays
Fred in Episode 2. A source close to the project says, "Kiefer
Sutherland interrupted the filming of episode 1, then told all sorts
of fanciful embellishments about it on Leno and Letterman. (Link)."

Island, and Link to the Channel
101 site where you'll find more online shorts.
