To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Flores Hobbit Update
Tonight Nova broadcast a show about the Flores Hobbit. I had not been following the continuing and sometimes vicious debate as to the fossils' significance, but John Hawks has. He live-blogged the show and added expert commentary at the end. Whether or not you caught the show, it is worth checking out here.
Anything for an excuse to repost this picture.
