From tweets of yesterday (edited by rephrasing, adding words, etc.)

About Books

"Book Review: The Twilight of the Bombs by Richard Rhodes," NYTimes. – The reviewer Nicholas Thompson writes, "Rhodes is now 73, but I hope he writes a fifth book on this subject, perhaps a decade from now, that describes how we truly moved to a world free of nuclear weapons." I hope so, too!

[Retweet of newscientist's words with an addition to the version here] What's the most underrated popular science book of last 50 years? Nominate in the comments here: "Win the best science books of the year," New Scientist. – The article cited describes that the Royal Society has just announced their shortlist for the 2010 Prize for Science Books and that the list includes two physics books, We Need to Talk About Kelvin by Marcus Chown and Why Does E=mc2? by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw.

About Cosmology

[Retweet of newscientist's words with an addition] "Black holes + dark matter = light," New Scientist. – A story related to the paper "Probing Dark Matter with AGN Jets," arXiv:1008.2230v1. (AGN is the acronym of "active galactic nuclei.")

About Internet

My activity on Twitter can be seen at "LinkedIn: Tweets".

About Peace and Politics

[Retweet of mdnjp's words with an addition] "Japan should maintain weapons export ban," Mainichi Daily News. – I completely agree with this editorial about the proposal of an advisory panel to Prime Minister Naoto Kan on national security.

Words to Friends

[In reply to Barry K's words at asahi_weekly, "Thanks! I will be wearing my blue belt proudly today as I go to my karate lesson. I won't be embarrassed anymore, wearing white. Barry K"] Congratulations on your getting the blue belt of karate! (Retweeted by asahi_weekly. Strangely, at the twitter home of asahi_weekly, the rewet comes after Barry's words. Therefore, another member of asahi_weekly must have learned about Barry's getting the blue belt by my tweet and retreated it.)
