Hi Antje ZZen Blue,

I hope you enjoy watching this film of beauty unfolding

Hugs,

In conjunction with the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, CBC assembled a panel of 10 prominent physicists from around the world, and asked each of them what they think is the biggest question that science has, so far, been unable to answer. They gathered at Glenn Gould Studio at the CBC Broadcasting Centre in Toronto, before a live audience, and made their arguments. Then the audience had a few suggestions of their own.

You can listen online or download the show at

Fascinating! Enjoy.

"The $200 Microhouse" in The New York Times

thanks to Ms. Bliss for finding this video.

Well, we all know how one web link leads to another. The NY Times article on houseplants that survive led me to this other web site, with a list (near the bottom) of "Plant Difficulty Levels, So Far (from most to least difficult)"

And this link is to the easiest species of them all.

Seriously, now.  Well, I know that Steven at least will appreciate this (in light of previous postings by Mr. Harper).

Need I say more?

While any structure built in a way that lessens its footprint is welcomed, some of the buildings that people try to turn green simply make no sense.

LEED certification, in all its greatness, does not take the building’s intended purpose into account; this leaves us with some hilarious, unabashedly self-contradicting buildings. Here are the ten of the most laughable green buildings.

http://greenbuildingelements.com/2008/12/01/hand-build-an-earth-sheltered-house-for-5000/

There are just a couple of solar panels – just enough for for lighting, music and computing. It’s a simple life. A skylight in the roof lets in enough natural feeling light, and water is fed by gravity downhill from a nearby spring. There’s a compost toilet. Roof water collects in a pond for gardening

Says Simon: “Our house is unusual but the aesthetic appeals to lots of people and perhaps touches something innate in us that evolved in forests.”

Want to try making one too? Simon will show you how or check out other green homes for more ideas and inspiration like this post on building a cob house.

Okay, I admit it; my sense of humor isn't all that elevated today -- I do find this very funny.

Here is a list from the CBC web site of books recommended by Canadians

 This a really honest interview. It starts about a minute in, as the BBC Player has a scrap of the previous program on at the very beginning.

Wonderful.

I give thanks

"Avast belay, yo ho, heave to,

A-pirating we go

And if we're parted by a shot

We're sure to meet below!"

"Yo ho, yo ho, the pirate life,

The flag o'skull and bones

A merry hour, a hempen rope

And 'hey' for Davy Jones!"

"The superstition the book denounces is the belief that science will one day give us a complete account of things. Science is admirable, Wendell Berry says, but it can only be deployed wisely when we recognize the limits to our knowledge. Science must submit to the judgement of Nature. In this episode, Wendell Berry unfolds this philosophy to Ideas producer David Cayley."

The interview is Episode 8 on the webpage. http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/episodes/2009/01/02/how-to-think-about-science-part-1---24-listen/

And the other interviews are good too. There is one with Rupert Sheldrake (Episode 9).
