- British Prime Minister's Speech -- a huge amount of the speech is given to digital issues, including the funding and founding of an "Institute for Web Science" headed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. (via Rchards on Twitter)
- Periodic Table of Science Bloggers -- a great way to explore the universe of science blogging. (via sciblogs)
- For All The Tea in China -- a tale of industrial espionage from the 1800s. The man behind the theft was Robert Fortune, a Scottish-born botanist who donned mandarin garb, shaved the top of his head and attached a long braid as part of a disguise that allowed him to pass as Chinese so he could go to areas of the country that were off-limits to foreigners. He forged a token and stole IP, in some ways it's like the reverse of the Google-China breakin. (via danjite on Twitter)
- Nature by Numbers -- relating numbers, geometry, and nature. Beautiful and educational. (via BoingBoing)
