Heavy snowfall means that some people got to flee the office earlier than usual. Yay!

• Files 'overloaded' Mars probe -- even little mechanical space explorers can get information anxiety
• U.S. Uranium Stock in Peril -- "Security guards at the country's leading nuclear storehouse have been cheating during antiterrorism drills -- perhaps for as long as 20 years.... And now, watchdogs in Congress and beyond are questioning whether the tons of enriched uranium at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, are really safe at all."
• Matt Jones is looking for Brian Eno [Addendum 01 Feb. 2004: Eno was found, and it only took 3 days]
• A Better Night's Sleep, Flat Out at 35,000 Feet -- I've always been stuck flying "egg-crate" class; flying business class sure sounds nice (NYT; reg. req'd) (via v-2 Organisation)
• Eye candy for math geeks -- "These are some applets I wrote to help visualize various concepts in math and physics. You should be able to view them with any Java-capable browser." (via McGee's Musings, who credits BoingBoing, who credits Oblomovka; yeesh)
• Beware the Googlerank feedback loop
• Neanderthals 'not close family' -- "The Neanderthals were not close relatives of modern humans and represent a single species quite distinct from our own, scientists say. " (via Hotlinks)
