research that matters.
Aaron Swartz puts out a call for submissions of really important studies–science that matters:
In the comments, post your favorite study — the one that makes you sit up and say “wow, this result ought to change everything”. If you don’t mind, we’ll take the best to help fill up a new website we’re starting, collecting and sharing these new research results.
I’ll look forward to seeing what this new site turns out to be, and I’ll be mulling over my submission…
Read the full post and make your comments here.
quiet around here.
Pretty much all my attention is going to:
a) reading about classification, categorization, and representation
b) working on a clump of 16 films that suddenly fell into my lap all at once for the Folkstreams.net project
I’ve always liked henna/mehndi art. I used to do it a little, and I designed a line of tshirts inspired by the designs for my old company, leading to getting contracted by A Big Name Jam Band to design two shirts for them.
So, I have enjoyed watching Painted Bride, about the henna done on the hands and feet of brides among Pakistani immigrants in Queens.
All the trouble getting the sound right on the capture and streams? Didn’t enjoy that so much, but so it goes.
Yeah, back to reading.

Local people!
It has come to my attention that not everyone knows the joys of LOCOPOPS and their new Chapel Hill location. Inspired by paletas, Locopops serves one thing–POPSICLES!!!
Today I went and had three popsicles in the following flavors:
- Mexican gazpacho – made with pineapple, jimica, jalapeno, and cucumber. It was rather mildly flavored, except for theheat of the pepper. OK. Not great. Had to try it, though.
- Lemon basil – OMG to die for. I think I actually moaned out loud when I first tasted it.
- Blueberry buttermilk – this convinces me that I am simply a fan of any popsicle made with buttermilk. Divine.
Of course they have plenty of other, more “normal” flavors like chocolate and cherry/pomegranate and mojito (lime+mint). They also have chicken or beef pops for your dog. Blech. A partial list of flavors is available at their Wikipedia page, which I suspect they are using in lieu of setting up a real website…
Anyway, there is now, in answer to all my prayers and magic incantations, a location on W. Franklin Street. It is in The Courtyard, next to Penang, across the street from Chapel Hill Tire.
Open 12-9pm.
Small pops $1.25 (including tax)
Large pops $2.25
I no longer have to make runs to the Durham location with an ice-filled cooler, feeling guilty about burning all that gas. Now there are delicious, intriguingly flavored pops between campus and home. Danger….
progress.
Today I started re-reading Lakoff’s Women, fire, and dangerous things.
The first time I read it was in the first year of my masters program (2001-2). It was hard slogging through.
And now… I zip on through. I guess maybe I haven’t actually been getting stupider, despite the way it feels sometimes.
