1. Can Science Explain Religion? | The New York Review of Books

   I remember finding this interesting when I read it, but was offline at the time. Similarities and things between the major religions.

2. The Design of Understanding

   This looks like it’ll be good, Max Gadney’s one-day conference at St Bride Library in 2011 about “how ideas are designed to be more understandable”.

3. Home - ExtensionFM

   This is rather slick — a Google Chrome extension that makes a nice iTunes-style library of MP3s on web pages you visit. (via Yoz)

4. LRB · Christopher Turner · Missionary Work

   On Henry Wellcome’s amazingly vast collection of stuff from around the world, most of which was sold off in the mid-20th century. Huge.
