20 january 2011


A text-heavy day. A break with LA Times style on the banner font. A world in peril. A special shout out to Brian Kloppenborg for being the unwitting below-the-fold talking head in today's drawing! Go follow Mr. Kloppenborg and let him school you on the mysteries of what was happening in 2009 (you need to update your twitter feed, Brian!). And read about his work on Epsilon Auringae here. And read about it here, if you have access to Nature's website.

Also, maybe you noticed that today's front page looks...different. More like the original drawing, you might say, if you had seen the original drawing. Well, I have seen the original drawing and this image is the closest thing to it without being it. Thanks, new scanner! We live in a truly magical age. All future posts will avail themselves of this new technology, and I intend to scan the early drawings and repost them at some point in 2011.

  1. Hi Erik! I tend to post most of my epsilon Aurigae activities to the Citizen Sky website, http://www.citizensky.org, rather than on twitter as they often require a little more than 150 words. You're right though, my twitter feed was quite outdated!

  4. hi blog! i have to say, i'm surprised to be getting comments this late after the blog's completion (not that i don't appreciate it). my average reader is probably someone who loves newspapers. and maybe people who like odd little drawings. as you might have guessed, i would sit squarely in the intersecting point of that venn diagram.
