Dr. Who and new science

Watched "New Earth", the first episode of the second season of the New Doctor Who, last night. It was not bad, I had heard, well, not good reviews of it. I mostly liked it, it suffered from a lot of very typically Dr Who plot holes and hand waving, which I ignored while watching. Dr. Who manages to get through my nonsense filters apparently. Not great, but not bad. The special effects were solid and the make up for the cat nuns was quite amazing.

In other news, scientist develop an artificial compound eye.

Read about the redescovery of the Palace and Cultural History of the Shang Shung in Tibet. Quite fascinating.
