The news
I just read an interesting article from The Guardian: Lou Gehrig killed by baseball not Lou Gehrig’s disease, study finds Well, that’s pretty interesting, right? Let’s read together: Lou Gehrig killed by baseball not Lou Gehrig’s disease, study finds Fascinating! The headline really grabs you, doesn’t it? There was a study, and it had a surprising but definite...

I was a big fan of The Audience Is Listening, so I was excited when I saw that Cut Chemist’s new album is available for streaming in its entirety online.

iPad Couch Pouch
I always slide my laptop under the couch when I’m not using it, but I didn’t want to do that with my iPad since it’s basically a big sheet of glass. I didn’t really have a great place where it could be handy but wouldn’t be at risk of falling off a shelf or something, so Leslie made a little pouch that buttons on to the side of the couch: Sort of the exact opposite...

Switch back to the old Facebook layout
I got an invitation to become a fan of a page on Facebook called “Switch back to the old Facebook layout”. At first I thought it was just another “We liked the old layout better” group but it’s actually more evil than that. Following the directions here isn’t going to do anything but annoy your friends. The happy user comments are fake (just an image!), the...

Gingerbread House party
Every year Leslie’s microbiology lab has a Gingerbread House competition. This is the seventh year overall and the third year Leslie and I attended. Instead of gingerbread, which takes a long time to bake, we use graham crackers for planks. Everything must be edible and this year we had a new rule, only provided candy was allowed. Expectations were high going into the contest, with Leslie...

Twilio Contest
So sometime earlier this year I found a service called Twilio that I thought was pretty cool. They offer a service that basically makes it really easy for web app developers to offer telephone based features. Not mobile features, like iPhone apps- actual honest-to-goodness POTS features. Hit a URL, and your phone rings. Answer it, and it will speak to you in a soft robot voice. Dial a number, and...

The Same Old Thing: A gallery review
In the history of Art, few mediums have been as inextricably linked to a single artist as with the readymade with Marcel Duchamp. While others have tried- and certainly many have- few have met any measure of success. Indeed, Duchamp’s work so scandalized the art world that few were ever even exhibited, and most discarded as rubbish. Perhaps his most famous work, “Fountain”, was...
