Making sense of a beautiful and complicated world. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. After watching by this talk. Which i highly recommend, I followed up on something he mentioned in his talk that I found kind of amazing. Specifically, Enriquez was talking about the rapid development in the field of engineering cells. In particular, there's been a lot of focus (most conspicuously by bioentrepeneur Craig Venter. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Purity (or why Woody Guthrie refused to eat at the kitchen table). I've ...

Ephemerata: Who was charged with possession of drug paraphanelia?
http://jamaicamecrazycrall.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-was-charged-with-possession-of-drug.html
Making sense of a beautiful and complicated world. Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Who was charged with possession of drug paraphanelia? Great find: picktheperp.com. You get pictures of different, real perpetrators from police mug shots, and you have to pick which perp committed which crime. Fun for all ages! Also, just really interesting to see your own tendencies and thought processes about the physicality of crime. My best streak so far is four in a row. I found this on Sociological Images. Oh My Lima Beans!

Ephemerata: Wisdom in the Age of Schizophrenia
http://jamaicamecrazycrall.blogspot.com/2009/02/wisdom-in-age-of-schizophrenia.html
Making sense of a beautiful and complicated world. Sunday, March 15, 2009. Wisdom in the Age of Schizophrenia. I apologize for the delay in posts for those 3 or 4 of you devoted readers there are. This is a post I've had stewing in my head for a while and am finally getting around to writing down a few preliminary words about. 1 Is wisdom a meaningful idea anymore? 2 What should be the role of emotion in our decision making? Without going in too deep into details of emotional decision-making theory.

Making sense of a beautiful and complicated world. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Restless Leg Syndrome or "my culture is making me ill.". If you currently, or have ever, or have even thought that maybe you do, suffer from RLS, or Restless Leg Syndrome, I am sorry. I do not believe you. There is an obvious biological answer: a "disease" (et. al) is a state which puts your physical existence into some kind of detriment or danger. AIDS is clearly a disease, because there is a not-at-all unclear connect...A def...

Making sense of a beautiful and complicated world. Friday, March 27, 2009. The end is nigh.for real. Oh my fucking god. They finally made a robot with a living brain. Seriously, it's a physical robot attached to a living brain, that grows new neural connections and learns about its environment, built by Kevin Warwick. Who is apparently totally insane. Once again, we should have seen it coming. Friday, March 20, 2009. The Pope is not a scientist. Sunday, March 15, 2009. Wisdom in the Age of Schizophrenia.

Making sense of a beautiful and complicated world. Friday, March 20, 2009. The Pope is not a scientist. Overall, I would say the science of public health is probably not the Catholic Church's strong suit:. Http:/ english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2009/03/20093183550676229.html.

Ephemerata: May 2009

Making sense of a beautiful and complicated world. Thursday, May 14, 2009. I just finished watching Obama's speech at the correspondents dinner. First, it's very refreshing to have a president that is circumspect and confident enough to be able to poke fun at himself and his administration. The picture of Obama sitting down for a conference with Captain Hook I thought was particularly tasteful. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Seed* : Science is Culture.
