New Media!

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy shared my quantum dots story with its Twitter followers today. I thought I should catch that tweet and put it on the blog before it faded away into Twitter oblivion. Like catching a firefly in a jar.

Whether or not I, as an ethical journalist, should relish this occurrence, is beside the point.

In other news, Rolling Stone just changed the world.

Shachtman on Breitbart

Noah Shachtman's Wired profile of Andrew Breitbart solidified my image of Drudge's partner in crime as online media's version of a low-talent rapper who knew the right people in the recording business, and struck it rich by throwing thoughtless lyrics over a few can't-miss beats.

He does sound relentless though, so I guess he deserves credit for that.
