"I can sense stars, and their whispers amid the roaring of our own Sun." So goes one poetic status of the
Voyager 2 twitterfeed, which appeals to my sense of wonder like nothing else on the internet. Interstellar space probes and microblogging go hand in hand in the 21st Century.

One of the songs on the Golden Record included on the two Voyager spacecraft was
Flowing Water performed by Guan Pinghu on the guqin. The guqin, Confucius' favorite instrument, has been played in China for at least 3000 years. There's a lot of
guqin videos out there but the two players I listen to the most are
jts1702a and
Charlie Huang (who is the main contributer to Wikipedia's excellent
guqin article).
