1 – NASA Ames’ ‘Second Life’ Blends Cyberspace with Outer Space
“Taking a step into the new frontier, NASA Ames Research Center, under the direction of Simon “Pete” Worden, has launched an island in Second Life…” Better late than never. Have to go and see this.

4 – Greenpeace rebuilding Noah’s Ark as a warning on climate change
“Greenpeace activists have started construction on a replica of Noah’s Ark, 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) above sea level on Turkey’s Mount Ararat.” Wait, what?
