Byliner Follows

Some people I'm following on Byliner.com:

1.) Bill Donahue - When I logged into Byliner this morning, Bill's recent story for Wired, "6 Guys in a Capsule: 520 Days on a Simulated Mars Mission" was on the lineup of current new stories. Well, I love space, so obviously I clicked on it. It's great, and I figured if this is the kind of stuff he writes about, I definitely want to read more. Hence, the follow.

2.) Christopher Hitchens - I'm pretty sure I've talked about Hitchens a bit before. I really admire his journalistic work in addition to his more opinionated essays. Currently, he published pretty regularly for Slate in his column "Fighting Words"; it's usually about current events in world politics - like the recent flotilla to Israel/Gaza, or the United States' escalating drone war in Pakistan. Hitchens helps keep me informed about the wider world, and subscribing to him on Byliner reminds me when he publishes new material.

3.) Stephen Jay Gould - The only one of the three here who's no longer living (though Hitch isn't far behind), Gould was a famous well-known biologist who focused on the field of evolutionary biology. He proposed the concept that if the course of evolution were to replay itself, it almost certainly wouldn't turn out the same way again. As famous as Gould is for his work in science, he's almost as popular for his essays; I recently read an excerpt and decided I wanted to read further, so I subscribed on Byliner to help me find more.
