Half-male, half-female, all crab

Half-male, half-female, all crab 06/17/2005 03:35 PM
David Pescovitz: Fishermen caught a crab in the lower Chesapeake Bay that's literally half male, half female. Among other differences, male blue crabs have deep blue claws while females' claw tips look like they were painted with red nail polish. The fishermen noticed that this particular crab had one of each. Researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science say that the condition, known as bilateral gynandromorphism, is caused by a "chromosomal mishap." Studying the rare animal could increase understanding of crab sexual development and breeding behavior. From the Washington Post:

Before turning over the crab to the scientists, (boat captain David) Johnson and other watermen conducted their own experiment into its sex life, with bewildering results. They dropped a female crab, which was just about ready to mate, into its tank.

First, the half-and-half crab cradled the female under his legs, as a male crab would do in preparation for mating.

Then, the crab seemed to lose interest in the female and let her go, Johnson said.

Then a day later . . .

"He ate half of her," Johnson said.

Bad day. Two unscheduled meetings, one scheduled, but failed meeting, far too much email, far too much confusion, lost laptop, and to top it all off, an unnecessary ride back home to check whether I left the iron on.

Old Hippie Night

Old Hippie Night 05/31/2004 12:36 PM

 They were literally rolling the old hippies (Baba Ram Das) around in wheelchairs athe 13th Digital Be-In on Saturday night.

I was there to talk about DLAs, and in typical fashion someone didn't show up, so they moved me up the schedule - which of course then meant that none of the people who came to hear me - could - as they thought I was coming on later.

The EFF, Creative Commons and danah boyd were there - too.

Well God Bless Michael Gosney anyway.  I got to see some old friends - such as Tony Bove (otherwise known as T-Bone) - pictured to the right, along with Brad DeGraf.

Brad's been working on the Media Venture Collective - which is an org to help kids to upload their video work onto the web.

"Time passes, or rather doesn't pass. It is just there, solid as a coffee mug on the diner's counter. Time hangs like the reek of old tobacco in the hotel furniture". We all think we know Edward Hopper's images, even if we've never seen his paintings. Somehow the solidity of the world -- even the sky is like a wall -- is at odds with the transience of the people in it, however long they sit and stand and wait. Hopper's people, like Manet's figures , often appear consumed by the irreducible business of being. Hopper, too, would descend into his own silences, would delay himself in self-doubt...

I remember dreaming that something was lost. I woke in the middle of the night, not knowing what or why I was seeking so desperately. Something was missing, and I could not say what.

Then I found it on the floor, where it had apparently fallen off the bed during the night.

I lifted it and put it back next to my pillow where it belongs, and fell back to a dreamless sleep. With a smile on my face.

I wonder... How long can one shirt keep her scent?

Actually, this graph is a little misleading since it starts at $800, so the increase is actually about 25%, not the 500% it looks like. However, our total valuation looks good, though I haven't the first clue why, or why we peaked then fell a while back. If anyone knows the mechanics behind this, speak up.

From the capital of an oil-rich

This item comes to you from an Internet cafe in the capital of a country that is

• oil-rich
• still smarting from the pain of a U.S. invasion
• throughout its history has seldom enjoyed a government elected by the people
• lacking in basic physical security, except in a handful of areas patrolled by guys wearing body armor and toting machine guns
• not somewhere you can turn on the kitchen faucet and expect drinkable water to come out

Does this sound like a crisis?  Actually it is normal everyday life in Mexico City and somehow nobody seems to mind.

http://www.cmswiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=RichInternetApplication

A Rich Internet Application (or RIA) uses a proprietary client instead of the web browser as the front end for a Server Side software application program or MiddleWar e. The result is a desktop-quality User Interface and application functionality. An RIA allows the website to provide services to visitors, but these should not be confused with Web Services or Service Oriented Architectures, which provide services to other application programs. The RIA depends on the new generation of browser development tools like Macromedia Flash, with its ScalableVectorGraphics?, or Microsoft's Avalon/XAML, or perhaps Mozilla XUL (XML-based User Interface Language).
