I completely acknowledge the fact that my blogging has devolved into mostly “the internet is sooo cool! check this out!” I promise I’m going to move on to actually content (eventually).

1. I got back from Japan last Monday. I had wonderful company and a fabulous time. Coming home was awfully dull and made worse by the fact that I had terrible jet lag that lasted me almost an entire week. I had nothing of real purpose to do last week outside of going to class [...]

This caught my eye while browsing the NY Times yesterday. “Can People Have Meat and a Planet, Too?” reads the headline. In a nutshell, Andrew C. Revkin reports on the first international conference on manufacturing meat and considers the implications of our largely carnivorous ways, the growing demand for animal protein in developing parts of [...]

I promise that I will get around to posting something substantial on this thing, but for now I think I have to stick with whimsy. I recently discovered Theo Jansen, a kinetic sculptor. This is what his Wikipedia page says about him:
Jansen is dedicated to creating artificial life through the use of [...]
