Thursday links, from life-changing to trite

Derek Lowe: Life, Maybe, On Mars, Unless We Change Our Minds. You may have heard that the Mars Rover may have found evidence of microbial life in the planet’s past. If like myself you couldn’t find time to watch the 1-hour press conference, this is the most concise yet understandable explanation I could find.
Nick Maggiulli: The Bar Only Gets Higher. On why it is becoming ever-harder to just get on with one’s life.
Scott Sumner: Less wrong. He seems to be sad that we don’t live in a world of rational people. I am not so sure.
Gina Trapani: Welcome to my blog. Her posts on Lifehacker are some of the first I followed via RSS at a time before even Google Reader was a thing (remember Bloglines?) Well, she is back blogging and I have started following for old times' sake.
Andy Baio: DOOMscroll. A simple online game you should not play more than once.
