Bookmarks for May 4th from 08:15 to 11:06

These are my pinboard links for May 4th from 08:15 to 11:06:

• PHD Comics: The Higgs Boson Explained – Excellent animation of some basic particle physics (and theory). Mass as evidence of a force? Craziness.
• How to Make Observations like a Scientist | TIME Ideas | TIME.com – Interesting piece on observation and notetaking (via Lifehacker). Ed Vielmetti had some good bits on lab notebook use back in the day which may be useful cross references. And in line with some other current thinking, original research is behind a SAGE paywall and can be accessed for *$25* for a day. Outrageous.
• QLOCKTWO BY BIEGERT & FUNK – Purty.
• The truth about caramelized onions – This is a good truth. Good things take time.
• 5 Scientific Explanations for Game of Thrones’ Messed-Up Seasons – "Winter might be coming"
• Prismatic wants to be the newspaper for a digital age – Yet another social news app, but noted as getting good results.
• Taking E-Mail Vacations Can Reduce Stress, Study Says – NYTimes.com – A five day break? That would be a stiff challenge indeed
