Совершенно замечательный автор, которого я совсем недавно открыл для себя. Встретил в ЖЖ (теперь уже не вспомнить, где) ссылку на его рассказ "Эпос Хищника". На его сайте ещё много замечательных текстов, например, "Нульгород", "Черная кровь Трансильвании", "Нежилец", "Жесть"..

Ещё недавняя литературная находка: smooph, которая публикует репродукции Яцека Йерки в журнале и на русскоязычном сайте, написала необычную сказку..

"We'll be trying out a mechanism for publishing comments from a special subset of readers: those people or organizations who were actual participants in the story in question. Our long-term vision is that any participant will be able to send in their comments, and we'll show them next to the articles about the story. Comments will be published in full, without any edits, but marked as "comments" so readers know it's the individual's perspective, rather than part of a journalist's report."

Manuscripts of Sir Isaac Newton – never before revealed to the public – are on show at the Jewish National and University Library at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem until July 17:

The manuscripts include details of Newton's alchemy experiments, his interest in ancient history and apocalyptic prophecies. Furthermore, they reveal his decipherings of what he considered to be ''secret knowledge'' – knowledge encoded in the sacred texts of ancient cultures and other historical records – including his attempts to extract scientific information from the biblical and Talmudic descriptions of the Tabernacle and the Temple. Newton's writings on Judeo-Christian prophecy reveal that he thought of himself as a kind of prophet.

Digitized manuscripts are available, e.g.

A nice collection: the English translation of the orginal "On a new kind of rays" by Röntgen and a number of other seminal papers (each no longer than 5 pages, the typical length is 2-3 pages, all are in English):

I was loitering around Coolidge Corner today. There is a very nice bookstore there, Brookline Booksmith, and they also have an interesting calendar of events. On Thursday, Jan.13, 7pm there will be a meeting with Gabriel Jeffrey who runs a popular Web site for making and reading anonymous confessions, grouphug.us, and compiled a book out of them called Stoned, Naked, and Looking in My Neighbor's Window.

There is also a brief Wikipedia article about them. Besides voyeuristic value, this seems to be an interesting phenomenon to look at.

:-) Happy New Year :-)
