A French Nightlife partier André who won’t give his last name has a started a very unique and interesting clothing line, with lots of color and style. The clothes include blue jeans in Japanese denim, classic polo tops, black chinos, old-school college belts and Char vet-inspired shirts. He is a staple in the night life and has created hot spots in Paris Le Baron, Paris and the Hotel Amour as well as New York’s Beatrice Inn. It'd the perfect blend on preppy and punk.

I’ve decided to change my assignment a little bit and I came to the conclusion I would look for blogs that I would be interested in, rather than something related to a school assignment. In contrast to my last blog entry it discusses how I haven’t found a blog I’m interested in and the new assignment is to find three blogs related to my first two blogs on science and astrology. Well this isn’t my passion, it was an assignment. So I’m going to find three blogs that I like and I might even visit more than once. But in further research I’ve spent 3 days searching the web, and I’ve yet to find a blog that reaches my expectations or standards. So the only one that slightly steeps my interest was http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/ which is a blog dedicated to fashion. It consists of pictures of the moment, somehow related to fashion in one way or another with a brief explanation and people can comment on them. There are also posting of Paris’ fashion week, and all of the designers and individual show. So instead of finding three blogs which was the original plan, I’m going to write about three different blog entries within The Moment.

Blog comparison from Time Magazine

More or less I don’t have much of an opinion of blogs, maybe I just haven’t found the right one for me that interests me and entices me to come back and read it every day. I know its hypocritical coming from someone with a blog, but more I less I was pushed into it by an English teacher encouraging the sharing of information between classmates.

The first blog Lifehacker is my favorite because it bright and colorful and interesting to look at yet at the same time a lot of the reading material doesn’t really interest me. It’s about How To Get Out Of Debt (which I’m not in) US Hospital Finder Locates the Nearest Hospital (I already know that Yale is the hospital I’d go to) What's the Best Keyboard You've Ever Used? (I don’t think it matters all that much to me) Pay Bills Quickly to Manage a Two-Week Pay Schedule ( I’m not paying any bills yet) but that general range of the topics is nice it grabs the attention of a broader crowd and I’m sure if I kept looking I think id eventual find something in there that interests me, there’s hope.

The second blog Huffington Post which I didn’t like at all, mostly political and that isn’t an interest I like at all. I feel that if you read one political blog you’ve read them all. It’s also not flashy just the standard three patriotic colors red, white, and blue. Then there are the same pictures over and over again, McCain, Palin, and Obama, oh and I can’t forget the American flag. I’m not saying my country isn’t interesting but the elections this time of year become a broken record to me.

Finally, dy/dan which was my least favorite, it’s very boring and…white. I don’t know how this one got into the list of Time Magazine ranking of the most popular blogs on the internet. I wasn’t even interested in any of the Blog titles and I easily forgot its existence until I had to write this little paragraph. I read one blog, Sup Teacher? And I was a little annoyed that I had wasted my time reading it. Overall it was a little bland and I lost interest in the blog site after a few moments, I attempted to explore the page but I simply found no interest in it.

Gliese 581 c, Possible Earth-like Planet

Rather than finding anything on the sun-like star on other people's blogs i found a ton of blog posting on this earth-like planet instead by other bloggers. There is a new Earth-like planet that has been discovered by European astronomers, using a telescope in La Silla in the Chilean Andes, located in the constellation Libra. It is truly a great discovery the first possible planet containing water and possible life. Its sun is a third the size of ours, and 50 times colder. This planet known as Gliese 581 c, is closer to its sun but is still the same range of temperature as we have here on earth, between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 and 40 degrees Celsius).

This thought of a planet reflecting our own is so insane to think about. I think it would be amazing to find forms of life, we could also learn so much from this as I said in my other blog, just observations could teach us a great deal. I was looking for information on the newly discovered planet and when I went to read about it, this is all I could find, everyone else was blogging about Gliese 581 c.

Possible Planet discovered orbiting a Sunlike Star

From a photo taken by the Gemini North located on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea, they have discovered a possible planet that is 7 to 12 times as massive as Jupiter. It orbits the star 1RXS J160929.1-210524 and is 30 billion from its star. The New York Times reported that it will take years for scientists to determine if it is an actual planet. They determine this by whether or not it travels through space with its sun. The huge question on scientists mind is its vast distance from its sun, it is 60 time further from it sun then Jupiter is from the Sun.

This is a huge step in discovering another planet that exists like our own, another blue planet like earth. Finding another planet that supports life would be one of the greatest if not the greatest discovery of all time. We could learn infinite amounts of knowledge just from observations let alone hands on learning and experimenting. This could also be a huge problem if we ever did discover another planet, what if there hostile and we become engaged in an intergalactic war, which I feel we would be defeated if based on how far along there technological advances are. If the planet is still in its early stages of formation of single celled organism, or even cave men like species our presence could have large negative impacts on the development of a new planet. It would be like us playing god and messing with natural growth and harmony.
