Searching the internet for health information can be a tricky business, especially if you're not sure where to start.

Where do you start looking for pertinent answers or just simple reassurance if you're not familiar with this field? This has been added to Healthcare Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.

When I was a kid, we had the twenty-odd volumes of The World Book Encyclopedia sitting in its own rack in our upstairs hallway. It was a lively encyclopedia, with pages of colorful flags from around the world and a supplement that one year used acetate overlays with the enthusiasm of a Hollywood director who's discovered a left-over special effects budget. I was not the nerd who in 6th grade let it slip that he was reading the entire set, although I was envious of him. Fortunately, my attention was soon taken up by the serious pursuit of masturbation.

What I'm reading... 07/10/2004 05:41 PM

I linked to this the other day in the linklog, but it occurred to me that maybe I should do a kottke and pull out my contribution to Phil's What Webloggers are reading post and stick it up here just in case anyone's interested:

I’m currently reading Dave Eggers’ You Shall Know Our Velocity, which I was slightly dreading but now would highly recommend. After that I was hoping to muster the enthusiasm to have another stab at the last half of Larry Lessig’s The Future of Ideas. The arguments aren’t new to me, but I thought I should probably go back and read the man himself. I really need to start reading more fiction again. For a start, I need to catch up with my Neal Stephenson — I’ve not read The Confusion or Quic ksilver yet. But I’ll probably end up trawling through the various social software related bits of social science that I’ve been meaning to read for ages (Schelling< /a>, Goffman, Olson, Hall) and bunking off occasionally to grab a bit of Kim Philby’s My Silent War. I’ve become a bit obsessed with the whole Cambridge Spy thing since starting work at Broadcasting House.

Currently Reading: Trading Up


Currently Reading: Trading Up 01/05/2004 03:00 PM
Trading Up: "Middle-market consumers, in the United States and around the world, are trading up to New Luxury products and services that deliver higher levels of quality, taste, and aspiration than conventional ones. Because New Luxury goods sell at premiums of 20-200% over standard midprice goods, they deliver higher profits. They also sell in much higher volumes than superpremium products."

It's a rather interesting look at what's driven the success of companies like Starbucks, Victoria's Secret, and others that make huge profits selling premium-priced products on a mainstream scale. This goes against the traditional assumption that goods sell at either a low volume or a low price. Turns out, people will "trade down" in some categories that don't matter to them in order to trade up in areas that do.

It pretty much only talks about real-world goods, not software or web-related stuff, nor even high-tech stuff, and I don't yet know how exactly the lessons apply to the areas I usually think about. But they probably do. (Is Apple a trading-up brand? Or is it not mainstream enough? Maybe") I'm only about a third of the way through it, but good stuff so far.

## Peter Drucker looks at the big picture of the world economy today -- really four economies, he says: information, money, multinationals and mercantile exchange.

  For thirty years after World War II, the U.S. economy dominated practically without serious competition. For another twenty years it was clearly the world's foremost economy and especially the undisputed leader in technology and innovation. Though the United States today still dominates the world economy of information, it is only one major player in the three other world economies of money, multinationals and trade. And it is facing rivals that, either singly or in combination, could conceivably make America Number Two.

## Cy nthia Ozick reviews Joseph Lelyveld's memoir. I haven't read the book, but the former N.Y. Times editor apparently did a vast amount of legwork researching his own childhood. This is Ozick's discussion of the limitations of Lelyveld's approach:
  ...There is no all-pervading Proustian madeleine in Lelyveld's workaday prose. Yet salted through this short work is the smarting of an unpretentious lamentation: ''If this were a novel,'' ''If I were using these events in a novel,'' and so on. Flickeringly, the writer appears to see what is missing; and what is missing is the intuitive, the metaphoric, the uncertain, the introspective with its untethered vagaries: in brief, the not-nailed-down. Consequently Lelyveld's memory loop becomes a memory hole, through which everything that is not factually retrievable escapes. Memory, at bottom, is an act of imaginative re-creation, not of archival legwork. ''Yes, I was finding, it was possible to do a reporting job on your childhood,'' Lelyveld insists. Yes? Perhaps no. The memoirist has this in common with the novelist: he is like the watchful spider alert to every quiver on its lines. Sensation, not research.

Well put. I think one of the reasons I chose, as a young writer, a career as a critic rather than as a reporter was that I could not see devoting my life to writing that was all "nailed-down." Reporting is a necessary and valuable skill, and I have deep respect for those who do it well; it's hard, hard work, too. But it will typically miss that dimension of "the intuitive, the metaphoric, the uncertain, the introspective." In American journalism as it is conventionally defined by those who carve out the job descriptions, a critic's portfolio is broader, and it's possible, under the right alignment of stars, to feel as well as to record -- or rather, to record what one has felt along with what one has witnessed.

## Apparently there's a movement afoot in the world of writing about games to be less "nailed-down." It's called the "New Games Journalism" -- "a narrative, experiential approach that acknowledges the effect of the game on the player." I'll need to read up. This was sort of what I had in mind 15 years ago when I began to move my attention from the world of theater to the digital realm, and thought, hey, why not try writing more ambitious reviews of videogames? I'd just turned 30, though, and was already feeling that the gaming world was one I would be less and less able to keep up with as the decades advanced. (So right!) So I wrote one opus -- an "experiential" discourse on the world of Super Mario -- and moved on to broader terrain.

Shortly after learning of the closing of Avenue Victor Hugo Books in Boston, a fire destroys Spartacus books in my former haunt Vancouver. Although obviously not related, the demise of these two institutions is sad, though Spartacus is trying to carry on through a series of fundraisers this summer. Good photos of AVH and Twelve Reasons for the death of small and independent bookstores.

reading “Voynichese”


reading “Voynichese” 01/08/2004 08:17 PM

Here's something weird and interesting from this week's Economist: an article on the Voynich manuscript. Quote:

THE Voynich manuscript, once owned by Emperor Rudolph II in 16th-century Bohemia, is filled with drawings of fantastic plants, zodiacal symbols and naked ladies. Far more intriguing than its illustrations, however, is the accompanying text: 234 pages of beautifully formed, yet completely unintelligible script.

Modern scholars have pored over the book since 1912, when Wilfrid Voynich, an American antiquarian, bought the manuscript and started circulating copies in the hope of having it translated. Some 90 years later, the book still defies deciphering. It now resides at Yale University.

The manuscript is written in “Voynichese”, which consists of strange characters, some of which look like normal Latin letters and Roman numerals. Some analysts have suggested that Voynichese is a modified form of Chinese. Others think it may be Ukrainian with the vowels taken out. But Voynichese words do not resemble those of any known language. Nor is the text a simple transliteration into fanciful symbols: the internal structure of Voynichese words, and how they fit together in sentences, is unlike patterns seen in other languages.

The other alternatives are, as the article notes, that the manuscript is either in code, or simply a hoax. Nevertheless, my geek-sense flares up when reading about something like this. Oh boy! An entire manuscript to decrypt, and a few centuries old to boot! Does that sound like fun or what?
