boosting the signal The CBC is asking for help. From the link: "Would you like to go to the moon?" CBC reporter Walt Lacosta asks a young girl in this charming 1969 interview.
"Yes," she responds without hesitation.
When questioned if she thinks she'll ever make it there, the young girl smiles and responds with a simple "no."
"Why not?" Lacosta asks.
"Because I'm not a boy," she says says shyly but definitively.They're looking for the girl who was in this interview. (Hat-tip james_nicoll.) | | Thursday, July 9th, 2009 | | 9:01 pm |

someone's bias is showing
At Barnes and Noble's web site, the Historical Dictionary of Islam was misnamed as the Historical Dictionary of Terrorism. There actually *is* such a book, it's just not the one pictured. Pandagon has a screen capture, which I'm linking to because I hope the problem is fixed soon (and thus the documentation would be needed). I sent customer service a note via their online system: "I wanted to let you know about an error on your web site. "On the page for the Historical Dictionary of Terrorism, by Sean K. Anderson, the image used is for the Historical Dictionary of Islam, by Ludwig W. Adamec. I'm sure this was accidental, and figured you'd want to make the correction." | | 8:45 pm |
online book swap recommendations?
So, I have some books I'd like to find a new home for, and I figure that I may as well use a service that will enable me to get some of the books I would like to have. I know there are a few programs like this. What are your experiences with them? Recommendations? Warnings? | | Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 | | 11:52 pm |

Leverage (TV)
So, I missed this show last season. I just watched an episode. It's like the A-Team, only smarter. | | Monday, June 22nd, 2009 | | 8:41 pm |

Your mind bubbles with ever more ways to discern Creation's fundamental principles, and your daily workload is capable of frying the neurons of a casual reader. The income can be solid, but woe betide the scientist whose work lacks the appeal needed to obtain a sponsorship! Such a person might easily find themselves reduced to scrubbing apparata in their peers' laboratories for days on end. Scientists of the mad variety usually only suffer this sort of meddling in the final stages of their experimentation. Take The Steampunk Character Test at HelloQuizzy

art show (prep)
Purchased: jewelry-making supplies backing boards for prints flint-knapping tools Also: I have this idea for a monochrome painting with vultures. Probably not the most marketable idea, but I need to do it anyway. It will be called The Afterparty. | | Monday, May 25th, 2009 | | 9:22 pm |
Shameless Promotion: Gallery Reception
In June, I'm one of the featured artists at the artist co-op. I and the other artist are having a joint gallery reception on June 6, at around 4 or 5 pm. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to implement my original plan, but I'm still going to create some new pieces. I'm going to try a few different things, and see what I can pull off successfully in the next couple of weeks. I expect to do some freehand engraving, some detailed ink drawings, some paintings, some jewelry. I'm going to try knapping some glass, too, but that may not be so successful this time out. All y'all are invited. Google Maps location link, here. |
