fleep.com Awesome deep house mixes from a DJ in Japan… (tags: blog music mp3 house) The Magical Number Seven A good essay (article?) that talks about human attention spans and puts it into a scientific context; understanding this goes a long way for understanding usability principles – – especially when it comes to things like […]
Having finished her doctoral work, A. and I have moved on and are looking for a place to live and a way to make ends meet. We move to London. (Only London is a suburb of itself and is half-suspended in the trees like Jedi‘s Ewok village.) We maneuver through the town on sidewalks that […]
What to say about Doctorow‘s write-up of This Film Is Not Yet Rated? My inner libertarian is screaming out: “Heck yes! Fuck ’em and their so-called ratings! Vive le Rated X!

Between classes is snack time; the halls are lined with buffet style tables. Everything from egg salad sandwiches to sticky chocolate sweets. I’ve been trying to […]
Via Autoblog: Apparently some crows have learned how to use vehicular traffic as nutcrackers. And they’ve also figured out how NOT to get run over. Simply put: wow. (YouTube video after the jump.)
A. and I are on vacation in a tropical location. The major tourist part of the island is like a military base or fortified parking garage or some other tough nut to crack. It is not so much that it is military or industrial looking as it is rock solid. A show has just finished […]
Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a truly remarkable book that has already taken a high place in my literary pantheon of Sheer Genius.
