Hi --
For those of you who may be interested in following Garrett
Lisi's E8 adventure, here are some resources:
Garrett Lisi's own site, serving has his "personal notebook"
including slides from his recent talks:
http://deferentialgeometry.org/
Cute movie showing some rotations of the E8 root diagram,
nice kaleidoscope effect:
http://deferentialgeometry.org/anim/e8rotation.mov
Blog by Sabine Hossenfelder ... starts with nice summary,
then lots of back-and-forth involving people who know
what they're talking about, including Garrett.

Blog by Peter Woit ... lead-off posting that didn't do much
for me, followed by good back-and-forth, including Garrett:

There's probably other good blog action that I don't know
about, but those two should be enough to get started with.
