我们都知道这种感觉。你在悲伤的夜晚失眠，或者在朦胧的周末清晨蹒跚而行，需要一些阅读的东西，而那一堆未读的书并不能阻止你。为什么不从Twitter和RSS的消防水龙带中休息一下，看看我们每周从网络上收集的关于技术、文化、媒体和未来的重要文章？当然，坐在Instapaper队列中你会感到内疚的还有一件事，但总比再次在Twitter列表上徒劳地拉好。

论视觉

罗斯·安徒生讲述了詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜的故事，这是一个跨越文明的探索，以扩展人眼的能力。

洛杉矶书评：罗斯安德森-金眼

The search for life among the stars will hang suspended in the imagination, an impotent question posed to the sky. Science asks a mythic task of America: that she coil the strength of her economy and sling a golden mirror into cold space.

论图书馆

本月早些时候有消息称，加州图书馆的州资助已经取消，于是MetaFilter上出现了一条活跃的线索，用户codacorla写了一篇令人大开眼界的关于数字鸿沟的个人故事。

If you can take yourself out of your first world techie social media **art-shoes for a second then imagine this: you're 53 years old, you've been in prison from 20 to 26, you didn't finish high school, and you have a grandson who you're now supporting because your daughter is in jail.

论阅读

蒂姆·帕克斯认为，电子书可以提供阅读体验，而不是“拜物教满足”的束缚，这让我们更接近“文学体验的本质”。如果在Kindle上注释文本更容易，那就更容易了！

纽约书评：蒂姆·帕克斯——电子书不能燃烧

But in fact we all know that once the sequence of words is over and the book closed what actually remains in our possession is very difficult, wonderfully difficult to pin down, a richness (or sometimes irritation) that has nothing to do with the heavy block of paper on our shelves.

在一个拱廊项目上

马克·奥康奈尔（Mark O'Connel）对马丁·埃米斯（Martin Amis）的《太空入侵者入侵》（invision of the Space Invaders）的评论（除了史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格（Steven Spielberg）之外，没有其他人作过介绍）让我们整个星期都很开心。

His advice is to concentrate stolidly on the central business of dot-munching, and not to get distracted by the shallow glamor of the fruits: "Do I take risks in order to gobble up the fruit symbol in the middle of the screen? I do not, and neither should you."

论博客

还有什么比在情人节博客上给你最喜欢的科技博客写一篇更能结束这周的方法呢？

Gizmodo:Mat Honan-科技博客，情人节快乐

There's been so much hate and self-righteous indignation in tech blog circles lately. Name calling. Ugly accusati***. Petty bickering. It's even divided good friends, brother against brother. Can't we all just get along?
