The
Nature of Normal Human Variety A talk with
Dr. Armand Leroi
(his
website).
"Almost uniquely among modern scientific problems [the problem of
normal human variety] is a problem that we can apprehend as we walk
down the street. We live in an age now where the deepest scientific
problems are buried away from our immediate perception. They concern
the origin of the universe. They concern the relationships of
subatomic particles. They concern the nature and structure of the
human genome. Nobody can see these things without large bits of
expensive equipment. But when I consider the problem of human variety
I feel as Aristotle must have felt when he first walked down to the
shore at Lesvos for the first time. The world is new again."

Ray Abeyta.
"At first glance, many of Abeyta's works appear to be Spanish
colonial paintings dating from the sixteenth through nineteenth
centuries. However, the artist incorporates present-day imagery with
Spanish colonial and indigenous elements." A short bio and
history
here. Here's one of my
favorites.
Flashlight For A Variety Of Batteries
Flashlight For A Variety Of Batteries
09/15/2004 01:39 PMSometimes it's the simplest ideas that make a lot of sense. As people
in Florida have been stocking up on batteries for their flashlights,
it reminds you how you always need to make sure you have the right
batteries around for your flashlights. They all seem to take
different size batteries, and people always end up with random spare D
or C batteries they don't know what to do with. One company is trying
to solve that problem by creating
a flashlight that will work with AA, C and D
cell batteries with the flick of a switch. They claim the
flashlight will show just as much light with any of the options, but
the weaker batteries won't last as long.
Slate on variety meats
Slate on variety meats
04/23/2004 01:46 PMInteresting article over at Slate about all the gross things you
usually only eat disguised as hot dogs, Offal Good -
Why upscale chefs are serving euphemistically named "variety
meats." Apparently British chef Fergus Henderson has a new book
out entitled The Whole Beast:
Nose to Tail Eating that has recipes for all the parts that
Americans tend to throw away.
The publication of Henderson's book heralds a new
fashion in food, already discernable in various hot restaurants in New
York: offal, the organs and extremities (nose, cheeks, tail, feet) of
butchered animals, has become chic.
Foie gras, truffles, and other traditional staples of
gastronomic excess now find themselves cheek by jowl on upscale menus
with, well, cheeks and jowls.
I haven't noticed this trend yet, but maybe I'm not eating at the
"right" spots. I certainly don't think I'll rush out and buy the book
any time soon. While I'm in favor of using the whole of the animal or
plant -- and don't like waste one bit -- I have a hard time trimming
the tips off a chicken's wings before I put it in to roast. As a
failed vegetarian, I now enjoy meat occasionally when I'm out, but
it's pretty much impossible for me to do any kind of chopping,
hacking, or anything else with animal parts in my own kitchen. I don't
expect to be boiling a pig's head any time soon, even if I had a pot
it would fit in.
Also, who's the editor at Slate that allowed such horrible pun for
the title?

more than 150 all-you-can-eat options on the Red Apple Buffet's
Italian-American-Chinese-Japanese menu. But Glomb's tendency to pile
it on at his favorite restaurant and his rotund size may
have as much to do with the number of choices on the buffet table as
the unlimited portions being offered.

PalmOS reset primer
01/18/2004 05:56 AMHere's a HOW-TO describing the different flavors of reset available in
various PalmOS devices.
The reason it takes a while to get the general preference screen after
a soft reset is that the OS notifies every app on your device that a
soft reset has occurred. That allows each program to reinitialize.
There are two cases where you don't want that to happen. One is if you
want to delete a system file or other file that's normally open in the
OS and won't let you delete it as a result. Since that app won't be
initialized, it won't be active after the reset and you can freely
delete it. The second is if some app is crashing your system in an
endless chain of soft resets. This reset will keep all apps inactive
until you manually start them after the reset is complete. This way,
you can work your way through the apps and see which one is causing
the problem. It could be as simple as a corrupt preference database
for an app. This takes some patience in troubleshooting, but always
start with what you did last and work your way back through your last
changes in reverse order.

a market for a slow Mac with a big screen? Apple used the introduction
of the dual 1.8GHz G5 as an excuse to quietly replace its bogus SPEC
benchmarks with
something more
realistic. (But you know someone is going to say, "Why didn't they
compare against the dual 3.2GHz xw8000? It's been out for three
hours!")

Giz
modo had this snapshot of what is reportedly Apple's new iMac G5. It's supposed to
be released next week, but somebody got a sneak peek in an elevator at
Charles DeGaulle Airport. Looks to
be little more than a thick flat panel monitor, with the computer's
guts tucked behind the screen.
I would think that would be an easy build — just use the
basic parts from a laptop unit, wrap it with a spiffy new skin, jam in
a G5 processor and the proper cooling mechanisms, and there you have
it.
Drool.
