  • The greatest human is dead - The Globe and Mail on 2009-09-28
    • The Borlaug Hypothesis in agronomy states “increasing the productivity of agriculture on the best farmland can help control deforestation by reducing the demand for new farmland.”

  • blissblog on 2009-07-23
    • One question raised for me by the piece was: does this mean that every generation from now on will come up with its own equivalent of hauntology/hypnagogic, a working-through of the music/popcult assimilated during infancy and early childhood?
  • Black Francis Covers Love & Rockets - Stereogum on 2009-07-22

  • txtr reader - electronic paper on 2009-07-18
    • Take the txtr reader with you everywhere: it is light and compact, its batteries last for weeks, and it stores thousands of books, blog posts, and documents. The eInk display provides a clear, energy-efficient screen that does not strain the eyes and works even in bright sunlight.
  • The book industry is gonna get Napstered if it forces Amazon to raise e-book prices. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine on 2009-07-18
    • The massive price and frequent re-release of slightly altered editions puts the college textbook market right at the forefront of whatever's coming for e-book filesharing.
  • Some E-Books Are More Equal Than Others - Pogue’s Posts Blog - NYTimes.com on 2009-07-18

    • And what happens to people who highlight and annotate the books? Searchable and hideable annotations should be a major benefit for ebooks. But if your books may suddenly disappear, that can be a lot of wasted time.


      I never write in books, but for some take lots of notes on my computer. I want a good ebook reader for the books I need to reference. I won’t buy one where my annotations may disappear.

    • Many public libraries now have ebooks which can be borrowed with a library card, just like printed books. So for those of you looking for a way to get your ebooks for free, go to the same place that’s been lending books for more than a century. It seems like many tech savvy people are not library users by nature so they don’t realize that libraries have adopted new technologies. Through my local library’s website I can download ebooks and audiobooks as well as access dozens of databases that I would have to pay for otherwise. It’s great - and it’s all free.
  • Mutantfrog Travelogue » Blog Archive » Is a national lack of English skills Japan’s Berlin Wall? on 2009-07-17
    • A choice in language learning would foster creativity and stronger desire. Perhaps the majority would chose English but over time we would see more aware and competitive Japanese people who can speak multi languages.

    • MV for Lyrically Deranged Poets' "Three Years in the Making"

      "She looks like she has an elementary school girl's head on a woman's body," my father, a child psychiatrist, commented on one of the first pieces of manga art he ever saw.

  • rm: patronage, transactional relationships and fandom on 2009-06-30
    • Pleasure speaks for itself simply ("it is fun to be here") and also not so simply ("I am enjoying participating in this fantasy").

      Prestige works on a few levels ("I can afford to go to this event," "I can afford this status at this event," "This guest told me xyz," "That guest and I had drinks," "So-and-so complimented my dress").

      Piety, of course, becomes about being a true believer ("I'm a real fan," "I go to everything so-and-so appears at," "I always defend this guest's actions").
