Origins of the things we do and say

Origins of the things we do and say 12/18/2003 01:01 PM
The vast majority of actions or words we use today are things we saw or heard from others. Many of these things we put too little thought into. Some questions we can ask ourselves can lead to interesting facts. Why do some countries drive on the right and others on the left? Why do we say "bless you" when someone sneezes? Why did rounded knifes appear in 1669? And why do we hit glasses when drinking amongst friends? Answers to these questions and other anecdotes follow for the pleasure of the reader. Some of them are just stories I heard, others I've read in a book or online. In all cases I could be wrong. You as the reader can participate in debunking any of the stories I present.

Historical origins of obesity

Historical origins of obesity 05/27/2004 02:52 AM
Long, interesting Harvard Magazine article about the historical shifts in diet and lifestyle that led to America's obesity epidemic.

"We are not adapted to handle fast-acting carbohydrates," Ludwig continues. "Glucose is the gold standard of energy metabolism. The brain is exquisitely dependent on having a continuous supply of glucose: too low a glucose level poses an immediate threat to survival. [But] too high a level causes damage to tissues, as with diabetes. The body is designed to keep blood glucose within a tight range, and it does this beautifully, even with extreme nutrient ratios: we can survive indefinitely on a diet of 60 percent carbohydrates and 20 percent fat, or 20 percent carbohydrates and 60 percent fat. But we never [before] had to assimilate a heavy dose of high-glycemic carbohydrates."

Tulsa TV memories

Tulsa TV memories 07/15/2004 10:02 AM
Mike sez, "With the rise of mega-broadcasting, quirky local television shows have faded into obscurity. Luckily, this site rescues these otherwise forgotten shows that aired in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from the '50s to the '00s. While every American city had its own local flavor, common elements are apparent -- the cheesy horror movie show, the Saturday teen dance party show, and the goofy puppet-based kids show. View all the shows on this detailed site and revel in the evocative memories shared by visitors. A wealth of pictures, audio clips, and video clips adds to the enjoyment. Even if you've never been to Tulsa, this site provides an interesting trip back in time to a simpler era of television." Link (Thanks, Mike!)

I saw this picture on Boing Boing. It's a ancient (about 30 years old) hard disk that probably fit about 256K according to a Boing Boing reader.

This iDuck can hold 1000X as much as that disk drive.

And these little 0.2mm RFID chips hold 128K each.

I wonder when they will start selling memory at the drug store in Petabytes per gram...

Other memories of Paris

Other memories of Paris 06/05/2005 11:56 PM

Like a lover who, after the affair has ended, desperately revisits old letters and photos to hold onto the magic, I cannot stop reading about Paris! I ordered Remembrance of Things Paris: Sixty Years of Writing from Gourmet, edited by Ruth Reichl, while I was in Paris so it would await me upon my return. I've been reading the short articles whenever I have a few minutes break, and it's bringing it all back. What's even more amazing is how many of the spots I know -- and the articles I'm reading were written shortly after WWII! But the streets, cafés, restaurants, and hangouts are all still the same. At least it assures me that when I do return, I'll be able to enjoy many of the same things. As this enjoyable book demonstrates, Paris sure has continuity going for it!

Memories of vinyl

Memories of vinyl 08/22/2004 09:26 PM
I've been thinking about audio files lately. There are lots of interesting audio blogs these days and I realized that putting audio interviews for my shar ing economy research online would be a neat thing to do. For the last month or so, I've been diving into audio gear and software. (I'll write about all this in another post when I figure out what I'm doing.) During this journey into gadgets past, I stumbled into my vinyl records from my DJ days. Most are promotional records that Rockpool sent me when I was reporting my charts to them, but many were from Mark Stephens. Mark Stephens was my mentor and one of my best friends. He was also the first person I knew who died of AIDS. Mark received tons of promos and he would share some of the good stuff with me. He would jot things down on the record jackets or on little post-its. Since I stopped spinning records, I've allowed several DJs as well as my second-cousin Cornelius to go through my record collection and take what they wanted. What I have now is a 1000+ record collection, almost all from 1988-1990, 90% crap, with very high sentimental value. What do I do with them? I looked into software to convert vinyl to mp3's but it looked like a real pain. The other idea I had was browse my vinyl for stuff I liked, scan the notes and try to find the music on a file sharing network. I should know the answer to this question, but is this illegal?

I seem to be getting into these diary-like entries these days, but digging through old vinyl and reading the little notes from Mark brought back a lot of memories. I'm struggling with how to bring some of those memories into the medium I have today.

Top twenty memories at CC

Top twenty memories at CC 04/04/2005 01:57 AM

I tried limiting this list to ten, but I couldn't do it. There's no way I could really limit it to twenty, even, but I'll go with the first score that come to mind, in no particular order.

(1) Meeting the World's Coolest Man.

(2) Singing karaoke in Seoul with the lawyers of KAFIL, CC's affiliate institution for the newly launched Creative Commons Korea.

(3) Getting a phone call in January 2002 from my former professor and long-time hero Lawrence Lessig -- who, I couldn't be sure, really remembered me -- inviting me to join Creative Commons.

(4) Seeing Gilberto Gil and David Byrne perform Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In" at the WIRED Creative Commons benefit concert.

(5) Brainstorming on and making "Get Creative" and "Reticulum Rex" with Neeru Paharia, Ryan Junell, Benjamen Walker, and Christopher Lydon.

(6) Seeing the Brazilian Portuguese translation of both movies at the launch of CC Brazil.

(7) First trying out the phrase "Some Rights Reserved" at a meeting with the great folks -- and later, friends -- of Rice Connexions.

(8) Talking about rock-and-roll, over beers, with Jamie Boyle, Mike Carroll, and Eric Saltzman after my first CC board meeting in Cambrige, MA.

(9) Sharing countless lunches (and jokes) with CC staff at the Treehouse, on Stanford's campus.

(10) Receiving the amazing going-away gifts of an iPod Shuffle full of CC music and a beautiful CC Taiwan poster from Lessig and the CC team on my last day.

(11) Seeing Grandmaster Flash perform, in a very weird context, at SXSW.

(12) Watching Justin Cone's "Building on the Past" for the first time.

(13) Seeing Christiane's daughter Lara playing with Willem at Larry and Bettina's house.

(14) At Duke's FRAMED! conference, seeing Negativland's Mark Hosler meet, confront, and then make friends with the lawyer who set the U2 brouhaha in motion.

(15) The CC Europe Summit.

(16) Awaking from a nap under my desk to hear everyone from CC and Stanford CIS singing Happy Birthday on my 30th.

(17) Hearing a crazed David Byrne fan tell my mother, age 73 -- at her first rock show ever -- that the song "Psycho Killer" reminded him of her.

(18) Eating at Carl's Jr. at 3am with two members of the Polyphonic Spree.

(19) Experiencing the mayhem before, and the joy during, every Creative Commons party.

(20) Doing an interview, with Lessig and Neeru, with the cartoon blogger Machina in Tokyo.

And there are so many more.

What kills me about putting this list together is to think of all the great things that I will miss out on from today forward.

Study Finds Ample Opportunities for Life
Science Suppliers in the Biodefense
Market 07/28/2004 02:47 AM
Biodefense research is one of the fastest growing markets for suppliers of life science products and instrumentation. Government spending on biodefense research is likely to continue to increase at a rate exceeding investment in other areas of biological research and development, and is attracting both scientists and the companies who support them. President Bush’s authorization of the Project BioShield Act last week is but one of many government initiatives to improve the country’s defenses against bioterrorism. Since the ability to effectively combat bioterrorism largely depends on the information generated by biomedical research on disease-causing microorganisms and the immune system’s response to them, nearly $1.6 billion is allocated in 2004 to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This budget will help support basic research on potential agents of bioterrorism such as anthrax or smallpox as well as the development of vaccines, diagnostic tests and therapies to detect and counter the effects of a bioterrorist attack.
