My friend Tom left this link on a previous post about science and art: Bathsheba Grossman. I’d looked at her work before, but I don’t think I’d posted it. Science, math and 3D printing- what’s not to like? Another friend, Eric, left an interesting comment on my post about November writing lessons. Eric’s comment, reprinted [...]

Neat stuff
I’ve been accumulating things. Time to pass them on. The Moscow dogs and the Chicago coyotes: fascinating examples of canine adaptability to urban environments.

Using graphics to convey relations: the [...]

Band OK Go wins the Internet. (via Topless Robot) Edit: Wired has an article on the making of this video, with videos of its own. It really was done in a single shot!
New Year’s
I rarely cross-post material from my other blog to here – that’s cheating, isn’t it?
