- Vestigial Features: On Splotology and Phylogeny (with some apologies to Stephen Jay Gould) SPLOTs evolve? Well yes. I’m starting some new work with Daniel Villar-Onrubia at Coventry, where they seem to have taken a shine to SPLOTs.

- Dad’s Estimate Sheets; 15 Shy of 90 May 2 could have been my Dad’s 90th birthday, but the only notched 75. Just fathoming that the last birthday he saw, and I saw, was fifteen years ago. I was planning to visit him in Florida for a special birthday, but no one in the family expected that birthday would be in the hospital. […]
- Stop The Madness: The Proliferation of The 60000 Times Faster Myth Dances On It’s been a while since I devoted what is most likely wasted energy into debunking the oft repeated assertion that “people process images 60,000 times faster than text”.

- Tweety Bird I promise this is the last thing I will blog about twitter…. today. Moreso than the back and forth about twitter being the Signpost of Doom that People Need to Get a Life, vs the It’s Just Great to Banter with People I Like, it is amazing how quickly it is moving as a techno-meme. […]

- iRiver? Fuggedaboudit! iAudio We Go The Ritz Camera folks had no ability to let me now which month, year, or century the iRiver I ordered might arrive, so at least they were nice enough to cancel the order (I was a bit over barking as they would not charge my credit card until the item shipped).
