Like interesting and nerdy stuff?  Here you go:

• Here’s a nice article titled Seti: why extraterrestrial intelligence is more likely to be artificial than biological.
• Did you know that our Milky Way is going to collide with another galaxy in the future?  It’s the Andromeda–Milky Way collision and here is the Wikipedia on it.
• Who gets hard thinking about tooling in manufacturing processes?  Here’s a good overview of tooling if you’re not familiar.
• If tooling doesn’t get you hard, perhaps the history of the lawn sprinkler system will.  Did you know it was first patented in 1871?  Eh, not much detail here.  Bummer.
• Finally, here’s an article titled New astrobiology research predicts life ‘as we don’t know it’.

Have a splendid day!
