The most recent
Wired is really good, besides an article about the Georgia henge I talked about earlier is one about Penn & Teller. The latter is a coauthor of an
article in Nature Reviews Neuroscience "Attention and awareness in stage magic: turning tricks into research". It reminds me a little of Tog's
classic "Magic and software design" that I've talked about
before (he's also recently posted part
two of a discussion about inclusive design). Speaking of inclusiveness, we've been emphaizing captioning of videos. Here's a little
spoof that was going around today for you Woodstock fans.
Some bonus things:
- Mike Oz at the Fresno Bee continues his "Worst flyer of the week" selections.
- A couple of people asked me recently about the Sierra Remote Observatories in the mountains east of here.
- I was looking at a street-level weather map here.
- and finally, a story via Steve about rebooting.
