I thought the author of this post did a great job explaining the experiment and the point of his research. Additionally, he was able to clarify complex scientific words and processes, without spending too much time explaining every detail. The overall structure of the blog post is well done, as the author progresses from an explanation of the experiment, to the meaning of certain results, to the results themselves.
Astronomy is a very interesting subject but also a very complex one. I picked this article because the author does a good job of making a complex subject simpler to understand, while keeping the topic interesting by addressing the reader with a natural and creative tone.
This particular blog post caught my eye because of its funny, and somewhat goofy, title. Instead of simply listing the facts, the author describes a piece of history in a comedic and entertaining manner.
This site has some really neat pictures and a video detailing Babbage's Difference Engine. The pictures are gigapixel, so they are incredibly detailed.
A breach in supposedly secure keys given to employees by private companies vindicates previous warnings by cryptographers that companies should use more difficult keys, and that companies have not been cautious enough using such keys because of their assumed security.
This blog post interested me with the vast history of rabies, how people attempted to cure those infected, and how some civilizations used this deadly disease to their advantage in times of war.
This article is interesting because the author makes an unusual comparison (between a controversial art piece and the far reaches of space) in order to make his point. Despite the differences between these two topics he melds them together in order to show the reader a new way of thinking about the concept of nothing.
I thought this was a well written article because the author is informative without being too dry in her descriptions. Blogs do tend to be more conversational and this one is no exception. The academic focus on this relatively historic topic is still present, but the article is written for a wider audience than the academic community.
This blog post was a very entertaining and read. The concept that the reason people get scammed because of their strengths (trust in authority/desire to follow) and not our weaknesses is a bit mind boggling. It was very well written and kept me interested throughout the entire post.
This article is particularly well written because of the amount of background research that was done. There were tests performed and their results were used in the article.
