  1. Not far from collisions then! RT @j_timmer: LHC has gotten both beams up near 1.2TeV, making it the highest energy accelerator ever built.
  2. Heading for Seattle to chat with the UW science writing class and generally wreak havoc.
  3. @jayrosen_nyu Shock and luck took my brain there! Backchannel for @dangillmor's talk at same mtg was interesting case study also.
  4. @jayrosen_nyu 1st time I was backchannelled I had to ignore, but talked about it with audience as an example of needing to filter.
  5. Anybody sharp-eyed enough to see a Higgs in there yet? :P http://bit.ly/91pDoJ http://bit.ly/4VLqQD http://bit.ly/5n5pdB
  6. First collisions at LHC. Our story here: http://bit.ly/91pDoJ
  7. Used @googlewave on Friday for the first time to co-write a story for @symmetrymag Worked really well!
  8. RT @CERN: #LHC prepares for magnet precycle. No beam at til 8AM. Some settings also to do before next steps...Be patient-Stay tuned! #CERN
  9. Action continues at LHC, with beam being "splashed" into ATLAS and then CMS for a while. Splash pics: http://bit.ly/5n5pdB
  10. Ahh, how soon we collectively lose interest in the #LHC startup... what's next on the entertainment schedule for tonight?
  11. RT @ivanoransky: I'd rec Fountains of Wayne's "Supercollider" > REM's "End of The World as We Know It" for LHC startup http://bit.ly/8QrFdK
  12. Huzzah! RT @CERN: Beam 2 captured! #LHC #CERN
  13. OK, #LHC, you can do it... catch that second beam!
  14. RT @CERN: Second circle completed!! Hats are up on air in the CERN CCC (photos to follow) #LHC #CERN
  15. CERN and US press releases about the LHC first beams for 2009: http://bit.ly/7h67Qz
  16. CERN just issued a press release announcing circulation of first beam for 2009. Press conf Monday. Web link to come when it is up.
  17. The LHC startup is like watching the World Series but for geeks. First beam round, now the next on the way! On the edge of my seat!
  18. Congrats to the CERN team! RT @CERN: We have captured it! First circulating beam of 2009!
  19. RT @CERN: Beam 1 has made more than 500 turns of the LHC. The beam orbit is improving fast.
  20. Exciting news - LHC restart moving faster than expected RT @CERN: We have completed the ring!
