So here’s what went down since you logged off.

iFest is over for this year - did you make it out? What did you think? Did the life-size rock-hewn church live up to the hype? The Chronicle has coverage of the festival’s last day.

Did you hear? Lucy is staying in Houston a little while longer.

I said, I’M AWESOME!!! But, self-esteem this high isn’t necessarily a good thing.

Operator, put me through to the rainforest. I hear insects are using plants like telephones.

Well, it does speak in code…And it turns out, my computer might be spying on me.

There’s been a bit of a kerfuffle over CERN’s Large Hadron Collider – like, whether it will create a black hole that will swallow the Earth. The Bad Astronomer did a great post debunking this theory, and he’s just posted a video tour of the Collider that shows just how big it really is.
