Carnivale I

Summer begins with a happy physics blogging day. Christine Dantas is celebrating her blog's first birthday with guest posts from Daniele Oriti (spin foams), our dear Quasar9 and yours truly. Over on PF people continue to discuss the new heavy baryons and Carl Brannen is blogging from the Particle Physics conference in Hawaii, which Woit also reports on. Cheerful as always is Louise Riofrio, who today has another interesting post on our future in space. And we must not forget our respected colleague Motl from Harvard, who has an entertaining post on the anthropic principle.
