Hub Travel: The Anti-Hacker’s Guide to Seeing the World Without Stressing Out, Going Broke or Losing Your Mind. I am always impressed and a little jealous when I see travel hackers outline the way they organize their trips around the world. A recent example was this über-post on how to organize an international adventure. Tyler covers it all: From budgeting your trip and earning airline miles to hiring tour guides the smart way. The hacker’s tricks, discipline and organizational talent can certainly make travel classier (airline miles used for free upgrades, anyone?) And save you money. I’m a bit wary of the downsides of extreme travel hacking, though. The good news is that there is a double remedy at hand! First, there’s Chris Guillebeau.

The Romantic Scholar: A New Approach to Student Life. September 24th, 2010 · 35 comments The Age of Wonder Around midnight, on March 13, 1781, William Herschel, an amateur astronomer from the West Country of England, was surveying the northern sky with a custom-built reflector telescope. As the Gemini constellation slid into view he noticed a new object moving slowly across the foreground. On a lesser telescope, the object would probably be dismissed as a new comet — one of the hundreds being discovered at the time. But the precision of Herschel’s five-inch, hand-polished reflector mirror was unmatched in England, if not the world, allowing him to note the absence of a comet’s distinctive tail.

This was something different. If you review Herschel’s journal entries from this period you’ll notice that he’s no stranger to hard work. The attraction of these “Wonders” is made clear by the events that followed that long March night. The Romantic in the Classroom As a young scientist myself, this era is appealing for obvious reasons.
