For the science geeks among you – this picture, taken during the fifth conference on physics organized by Ernest Solvay in 1927 has (hold your breath) Einstein, Schrodinger, Pauli, Heisenberg, Bragg, Dirac, Broglie, Bohr, Planc, Madam Curie, Lorentz and Langmuir, among others. More at Astroseti. (If the anecdote about Einstein and Bohr at the botom of the post on Astroseti leaves you scratching your head, blame it on machine translation. Here’s the anecdote described in english.)

Ancient wisdom has it that if you think you have it bad in this world, you are wrong – there is always someone who has it worse. Philip Wang tries to find out why Asian men have such bad luck with white women, until his Indian friend tells him that at least he has a chance that’s not one in a million. But like O Henry’s Social Triangle Wang learns some facts about White guys too in this funny documentary! (thanks Madhu!)

I enjoy cooking, and sometimes I take pictures of the process so that I can recall what I did later. Those pictures often end up on flickr, but I”ve always wanted a better way to put up the recipe without having to write paragraphs of text that no one wants to read. Yesterday night while playing with Comic Life, I tried putting up one of my old recipes as a comic strip and I kind of liked the idea. Here’s how it turned out. If I’m patient enough to document my other cooking experiments, I might just put them up as comic strips too! (Click on the images to see the full size versions)
