Google Street View Captures Fire Truck Hit and Run With an Old Lady On a Bike - google street view - Gizmodo on 2009-12-09
- Why do we assume it's the fire truck that made the little old lady fall over? An equally plausible explanation is that Google's face-blurring technology temporarily disoriented her, causing her to lose control of her bike.
Boing Boing Gift Guide 2009: fiction! (part 5/6) Boing Boing on 2009-12-09
- Technology lets low-cost providers take market share away from established companies, as Detroit auto makers and Paris fashion house designers have seen. Even high-tech companies have a hard time building sustainable businesses now that good ideas are copied so quickly that they become commodities.
What's Your Christmas Card List Got to Do With the Development of the Human Brain? - Boing Boing on 2009-12-09
- I read about someone who studied how people act towards each other vs community
- size. He studied towns in africa and found that people regularly greeted each other up to a certain population (don't recall that value) and when it got bigger they stopped.
  
  I've noticed myself doing the same thing on trails when hiking. I'll greet folks regularly (and so do they) until the number of people on the trail gets too dense then I stop. Seems like there is a burn-out factor.

The woman who can't stop orgasming Boing Boing on 2009-12-09
- The woman has had the core of a sexual relationship utterly distorted. Where the vast majority of people are very protective of letting anyone see them orgasm, this woman is living this terrible nightmare where her ability to protect that part of herself is denied.
  
  Like many people who have been raped, abused, or traumatized sexually in other ways, her path to a relationship is not the path that many of the rest of us will take. People here who feel obliged to declare on the validity of her relationship display the repellent arrogance of those who mistake their good fortune for merit, and others' misfortune for moral failure: a fundamental lack of empathy that characterizes brutality.
Boing Boing Gift Guide 2009: comics/art books! (part 6/6) Boing Boing on 2009-12-09
- Created in the early 1950s when Shuster was
  down on his luck after suing his publisher, DC Comics, over the
  copyright for Superman, he illustrated these images for an obscure
  series of magazines called Nights of Horror, published under the
  counter until they were banned by the U.S. Senate. Juvenile

- The Beats: A Graphic History (Harvey Pekar, Paul Buhle, Ed Piskor):
  The Beats: A Graphic History is everything a radical history should be: critical, admiring, quirky and apologetic. The Beats is largely written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Ed Piskor, with a concluding section of more critical, less biographical pieces written and illustrated by a variety of critics and artists, including Nancy J Peters, Tulu Kupferberg, Summer McClinton, Anne Timmons and others.

  - The Book of Genesis
    Illustrated by R. Crumb
  - Get Your War On: The Definitive Account of the War on Terror, 2001-2008 (David Rees):
    Rees's minimalist, clip-art graphics combined with his profane (top marks for inspired and expressive use of the word 'fuck' -- next time an English teacher tells you cursing isn't an effective way of expressing yourself, produce this book and win the day) torrent of raging, pitiless, vicious, relentless attacks on the stupidity of the War on Terror made GET YOUR WAR ON the single consistently credible voice during the Bush Years.

  - The Life And Times Of Martha Washington In The Twenty-First Century (Frank Miller):
    I have Frank Miller's Give Me Liberty graphic novels to thank for getting me interested in graphic novels as a literary form. I read the first Give Me Liberty collection when I was seventeen, after having it thrust insistently into my hands by my roommate Erik Stewart. Erik judged -- correctly -- that I'd find in Miller's groundbreaking tale the same satisfaction I got from reading the best sf novels. He was so right.

  - Ancient Book of Sex
    and Science This collection of mid-century styled paintings
    and other works of art by four obscenely talented Pixar animation
    designers -- Nate Wragg, Scott Morse, Lou Romano, and Don Shank --
    hearkens back to the days of the Golden science books (Like Biology,
    Mathematics, and Chemistry Experiments), and the How and Why Wonder
    Books, but the theme this time is sex and robots, sex and aliens, and
    sex and math

Gay-bashing woman humiliated for wearing hideous skirt Boing Boing on 2009-12-08
- A better sign would be, "God Hates Idiots".
- All that is needed for bad fashion to prevail is for gay men to do nothing.
- 2 more annotations...
- - Although it must have felt great to confront and stand up to the anti-gay placard holder, I suspect that what she took away from the experience was something more like: "Syracuse University is over-run with sin and the devil. I surely must stand strong and accept this difficult challenge that God has chosen for me".
  - It's all fun and games until a lesbian wearing a corduroy skirt walks by.

  - The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business (Tara Hunt):
    Hunt's book is a lot shorter on theory and manifesto than Cluetrain and a lot longer on practicalities, devoting a lot of space to explaining how all these tools work and citing examples of different commercial and charitable organizations that have used them to good effect (as well as citing cautionary examples of companies that bungled things badly, usually by being caught out in deceit of one kind or another). Because of this, Whuffie Factor is probably easier to put into effect as soon as you crack the cover, but it's also likely to go stale more quickly, as the specific technologies cited wane (Cluetrain may have pre-dated blogging, but it had enough theory-stuff that it's still worth reading today, ten years later). On the other hand, if Hunt's book does well, she'll have a nice side-line in producing annual updated editions.

  - The Boy Who
    Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope
    A 14-year-old boy in Africa builds an electricity generating windmill
    out of scrap. With so many tales of bloody hopelessness coming out of
    Africa, this reads like a novel with a happy ending, even though it's
    just the beginning for this remarkable young man, now 21 years old. I
    have no doubt that William--who is rapidly becoming a symbol of promise
    and possibility for the people of Africa--will be leading the way.

  - Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip (Nevin Martell):
    For ten years, between 1985 and 1995, Calvin and Hobbes was one the world's most beloved comic strips. And then, on the last day of 1995, the strip ended. Its mercurial and reclusive creator, Bill Watterson, not only finished the strip but withdrew entirely from public life.
  - Wicked Plants: The
    Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother and Other Botanical
    Atrocities
    "It's an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise
    offend. You'll learn which plants to avoid (like exploding shrubs),
    which plants make themselves exceedingly unwelcome (like the vine that
    ate the South), and which ones have been killing for centuries (like
    the weed that killed Abraham Lincoln's mother)."
  - How We Decide (Jonah Lehrer):
    Lehrer, author of the celebrated Proust Was a Neuroscientist, lays out the current state of the neuroscientific research into decision-making with a series of gripping anaecdotes followed by reviews of the literature and interviews with the researchers responsible for it.

  - Best iPhone Apps:
    The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders I had a blast
    browsing through this full-color, 228-page book about the very best
    iPhone applications. I only knew about 25% of the titles recommended
    by author Josh Clark, who tested thousand of apps to pick his 200
    favorite work and leisure related titles.
  - Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin (Kenny Shopsin):
    Kenny Shopsin's restaurant began life as a grocery store, purchased for $25,000 by his father for his peripatetic son (Shopsin describes himself then as a neurotic who saw a therapist five days a week). In the grocery store, Shopsin found a kind of frenetic peace in cultivating and deepening his relationship with his customers (one of whom, Eve, he married). Gradually, he added prepared food to the grocery lineup, then more and more, as the satisfaction of cooking for others seized his interest, until the grocery store became a restaurant.
    
    Shopsin's memoir is like the man: loud, opinionated, warm, exuberant and absolutely delightful. He had me when he revealed that he'd named one of his dishes solely to piss off Andrea Dworkin ("she's probably never heard of this dish").
  - iPhone Fully
    Loaded shows you how to load (hence the title) your phone
    with songs, podcasts, videos, comic books, blogs, applications,
    photos, spreadsheets, databases and other types of media. I learned
    something new in every chapter. The way author Andy Ihnatko uses smart
    playlists in iTunes is pure genius, and it's the first thing I put
    into practice. His advice on ripping DVDs into movies is the best I've
    read, and I'm looking forward to trying his method of converting web
    sites, email, and documents into spoken text.
