Here’s a fascinating story at Discovery News about the planetary composition of Neptune and Uranus being perfect incubators for liquid diamond oceans with solid diamond icebergs. In related news, Harry Winston Inc. recently opened up a space exploration division. Read the full article here: http://news.discovery.com/space/diamond-oceans-jupiter-uranus.html
For my very first background image I felt compelled to use the dome of the Pantheon. When I was in my fourth year of Architecture studies I did a semester in Rome in the fall of 1998. Every morning at 8:30am, and then again at 5:00pm, our professor Tom Dubicanac would rally us together to begin and end our day. There will always be a massive spot in my heart reserved for this building. Truly one of the most mind-blowing treasures on the face of the earth (if not THE best).

One of my biggest passions is trying to understand the complexities of the human brain and conciousness. How is it that an 8lb lump of fat and water can have conciousness? It is the holy grail of neuroscience and lately it seems we’re getting an itsy-bitsy tiny bit closer to the answer (although I am convinced we will never truly know how this happens, and I think we’re much better off not knowing). Scientific American has a brilliant new article about the latest research in this field. You MUST read this: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=neuroscience-of-selfhood
