So there, we have figured it out, go back to bed America, your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed America, your government is in control again. Here, here’s American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed America, here’s American Gladiators. Here’s 56 channels of it. Watch these [...]
I cannot say enough about the undergrowth of the Pac. Northwest
I’ve got a pretty good idea of the ID for a few of these…but if anyone reading this has thoughts on the fungi depicted, please leave a comment. Macro settings on cameras are really quite rewarding.
no homework
So I heard on the radio tonight a little bit about this book called the homework myth … and apparently this isn’t a new idea – there are other books written on the same subject, arguing that sending students (even in high school) home with more schoolwork “overburdens kids and limits learning.” I don’t [...]
mohels without borders
a week or so ago a second interim analysis was conducted, examining two hiv/aids trials being conducted in rakai, uganda and kisumu, kenya. these trials were looking at circumcision as a public health intervention method.* earlier today the WHO and NIAID released the information that these trials, like the orange farm trial [...]
UC Berkeley Free Speech Movement
Yeah, but different. More like, free speeches. UC Berkeley is doing a pretty sweet thing. While I have no real desire to pursue higher education in the near/future, I have felt slightly academically understimulated. I live with a 30 yr old woman and her 2 yr old, which kindof keeps the [...]
infrahumano
I have two roommates now. Also, the bats are on vacation because the moon is waxing (did I mention this already?) so we have time for such mind-numbing tasks as data entry and net repair. Also, the PI on this project was bitten by a vampire bat sometime last week and is apparently unable to [...]
enclaves and exclaves
The top google image search result (would the term “goggle” be a feasibly punny replacement?) for enclave. Fortunately, this is not about MMORPGs.
For the geographically/historically/politically minded, perhaps a brief introduction to actually existing enclaves and exclaves will be as genuinely interesting to you as it was to me. What are those two strange [...]
w.t.f.
Apparantly the cosmic combination of a blue star and some sort of smaller celestial object with a high density of matter (neutron star or a black hole?) is turning light into gamma rays. In other words, creating matter where none previously existed. (The picture is a computer simulation of the pair of bodies, [...]
thanks
Wierd holiday.
But anyhow, I am thankful for friends, meaningful employment, Bernie Sanders, the Pacific Northwest and all its beauty, hearing friends laugh on old audio recordings, Food Not Bombs, and food itself.
I was able to visit brother in Seattle, thanks to the fine people at Greyhound. They are magicians in their own right…able to [...]
clase king uno
I just arrived (well, JUST in the sense of a few hours ago) in Tapachula, a city of middling importance (as far as I know–which isn’t very far) in the Mexican state of Chiapas, a state of which I know at least some of you are very fond. But it’s not what you think. I’m [...]
