a welcome critical look at health news coverage

I’m becoming a regular reader and a bit of a fan of the Health News Review. I like having this kind of meta news, where you read the story and then read a critique of it.

creepy / aaaaht / things I saw in real life

next time you’re in Ottawa…

This giant baby made by Ron Mueck has been my phone splash page for a while now. If you get a chance to visit the new addition to the family at the national gallery, I would encourage you to go and say hi and let her glare at you a while. While you’re there, check out Brian Jurgen’s “shapeshifter”, and Der Lauf der Dinge (The Way Things Go) a wicked video of pyrotechnic Rube Goldberg devices.

new catalog at Toronto Public Library

hey library lovers, I’m just home from an outing to Lillian Smith, and wanted to remind you that Toronto Public Library has updated their catalog, which means it’s time to update our library lookup bookmarklets.

To make a new one, visit Jon Udell’s Library Lookup Bookmarklet Generator, and indicate the base URL for the new catalog, http://catalogue.torontopubliclibrary.ca and choose the vendor, Sirsi (WebCat) from the list.

Voila! You have a handy tool to help you find books from online bookstores at your local public library!

encountered an adorable EULA today from Storynest. It’s like a little poem.

no need to agree…/no need to disagree…/because it cannot be agreed or disagreed/it already happened.

survey question
this question, from an Innovative Research survey, really took me aback.

Mater Dolorosa (or, a painful mutha)


something I like about art is the way it communicates the universal nature of human experience through the ages. Like in this picture by Dieric Bouts, which clearly shows the pain and remorse of a hangover from the fifteenth century.

an invention

inspired by a friend’s dreadful suffering at the hands of sinusitis, I’ve proposed an idea to the halfbakery, where the community decides which ideas are baked and which are not.
