Imagine Science Film Festival 2009.
Of all the short films we saw last night, our hands-down favorite was Naming Pluto. This little ditty (starring, among others Dr. Allan Chapman, from my Oxford days!) explores the events leading to the naming of the planet Pluto. At age 11, Venetia Phair suggested the name. On her 89th birthday (in 2007), 77 years after Pluto's discovery, she views the planet for the first time. Her response, "I can't say that i was dazzled."

Tragedy: Condé Nast to Close Gourmet
Condé Nast announced just a couple of hours ago that it will shutter its food Bible, Gourmet, which has been published for the past 69 years.
And you should all pick up October's issue of Gourmet, with a charming poll of how the editors would spend a theoretical $1000 on food in their hometowns, a brief but sweet piece on salt & pepper shakers at Chicago's Alinea, and the 126 American restaurants worth the money (Grammercy Tavern, DBGB, & Le Bernadin get shout outs).
