Museums aren’t just for ancient artifacts—they’re also for blogs, wikis and podcasts. The Dana Centre at London’s Science Museum electrifies itself this week with a festival of “do-it-yourself media.” Researchers and artists will lead workshops (BYO laptop) showing novices how to mix their own digital music or use open-source publishing tools. Attendees will learn more about their newfound power at evening lectures on copyright protection, online communities and the like. Please, someone buy a ticket to London so that you can report back on what “Robotic Feral Public Authoring” is. —Lauren Aaronson

Science is reinventing play, from extreme sports to gamification to ridiculous roller coasters to the playgrounds of tomorrow, and this issue is chock full of fun. Also, on a less fun note: Did global warming destroy my hometown?
I'll go to London if someone will go halfsies with me on the tickets. ;)
