In a letter to a buddy I wrote: Here’s a small-but-powerful market for you: medical professionals. The other day my doctor walked in with this big, floppy laptop that he had a real tough time using (there was no flat surface that could accommodate it properly). I learned from my experiences at a clinical trial [...]

No front facing camera, so no awesome video chatting with your sweetie. No multitasking. Big, ugly etch-a-sketch frame. So much awkwardness. Small iPhone apps stuck right in the middle of the screen. The dock looks like it has the stability of a mid-game Jenga tower. Phil Schiller says, “it’s going to change the way we [...]

The emerald cockroach wasp or jewel wasp (Ampulex compressa) is a solitary wasp of the family Ampulicidae. It is known for its unusual reproductive behavior, which involves disabling a live cockroach and using it as a host for its larvae … A 2003 study[2] using radioactive labeling demonstrated that the wasp stings precisely into specific [...]

Just got an email that looked like it was a direct message from friend-band Wembley. It say “I found you on here” and then listed a link to what looks like some sort of twitter-endorsed video site. I click on the link and it asks me to sign into twitter. I’m not signed into twitter. [...]

No way do I have the money to buy these original comic books, but I’d pay something for a well scanned version delivered to a high-res color screen. I just watched the Spiderman [...]

It’s always good to see your local community featured in prominent blogs. Though, this isn’t the first time. Remember those crazy bike trails in the woods near Chapel Hill High School? This picture is from there (incidentally, very close to where I proposed to Meredith!):

I haven’t seen the new Transformers movie, but I’m reminded of a blog Lance showed me which had many points of criticism. I, for some reason, last night I got the urge to watch the Steven-Spielberg-wishing-he-was-Stanley-Kubrick flick A.I. The first part, right up to young Haley Joel Osmont being abandoned in the woods was actually [...]

Link Update: I struck me yesterday that these experiments in averageness are somewhat interesting in that they kind of approach the uncanny-valley from the other end. Normally we see people trying to make lifelike robots that end up totally freaking out our brains. In this case, these people are starting with human images and making [...]
