Fraser's description for two related magical principles: that two things that were like each other could influence each other, and two things that have been in contact could influence each other.

Haven't read through it yet but I cannot, cannot, cannot handle the subject matter raised to the power of the advertisements.

"Megablog" is an apt description. Being added to my RSS reader with all due speed. Seems on casual browsing to be like a more demure BB.

Jaw dropping.

"My heart is still beating"

Hilarious archive of science-based songs, including the original of TMBG's "Why does the sun shine?"

I wish I could say this was a bar graph of some kind, or inside New York's (the World's!) ketchup armory. But it's neither.

I spent about 10 minutes running around on the roof trying to get a good shot of the eclipse last night, and I figured I could do a real long exposure with the camera propped against something, but those didn't really come out. There's a little wiggle artifact here, but this was my best shot of the night.

Robinson's piece was one of several that really effected me when I went to go see Unmonumental, but was the only one I could get a reference shot of, due to the New Museum's asinine, not well-publicized, and seemingly directly contrary "no photography" policy. Rant ends.

Hell yes.

"I feel hope for them, because they love each other. I know that that is a corny thing to say, so for people who have corn allergies I apologize."

"Each time, when I repressed the airlock, opened the hatch and welcomed two tired workers inside, a peculiar odor tickled my olfactory senses. At first I couldn't quite place it."
