Skip to content Asymptotia Sidewalk Colours CicLAVia April 2012 Published by Clifford on April 27, 2012 in cycling energy energy policy environment Los Angeles and personal 0 Comments Tags : ciclavia It was a perfect day for cycling , back on April 15th when the 4th CicLAVia took place . Sorry it took me a while to report on it . A lot of people turned out , and it was as good as it has ever been We set of from the HelMel area again and went to Bolye Heights and back , breaking for an excellent lunch at Guisados again . Just like last time . The photo below featuring the 4th Street bridge over the LA River is my favourite single photo of the event this time : Of course , there’s not just the one photo for you . I took hundreds of other great ones for you and put them into a time lapse film

A flowchart I put together for The Particle at the End of the Universe. Feel free to spread around, with appropriate attribution. Sorry for the tiny writing, there are a lot of particles! Click to embiggen and get a legible version.
Speaking of writing popular books, I’m at it again. I’m currently hard at work writing The Particle At the End of the Universe, a popular-level book on the Large Hadron Collider and the search for the Higgs boson. If all goes well, it should appear in bookstores at the end of this year or beginning [...]
