Linkedy Links

click-me.jpgIn the spirit of Steinn Sigursson’s periodic “Linkedy Links” posts on his blog, I present my own roundup (most courtesy of him, actually):

There is an article in New Scientist (free login required, or go here) about the new wave of archaeology SETI, including work by AstroWright buddies Lucianne Walkowicz and Andrew Howard.

Centauri Dreams is on the Dyson sphere beat with two entries, including coverage of the New Scientist article:
Archaeology on an Interstellar Scale
Finding ET in the Data

Speaking of, here is an interesting argument by Armstrong and Sandberg that Type III Kardashev civilizations are not ambitious enough:  if you can travel the stars then you should inevitably span multiple galaxies.  I think this might be right.

Popular Science online had an initial reaction to the IAU press release here. They fixed it, and interviewed me for the longer article here.

Finally, more pics and text about the first telescope of the Minerva array here on John Johnson’s blog.
