Gotta see this: Bacon Cam. One of the finalists in Instructables' bacon challenge is a bacon guitar. This is not bacon but a rather nice campfire sculpture made using bratwursts.

What happens when you put composer Philip Glass together with Sesame Street? You get a nice little music video called Geometry of Circles.
Via the Booze Dancing blog, here's a guide to pronouncing the names of Scotches like "Bruichladdich." One might say Scotch tastes like it sounds - to be polite, "funky." A collection of vintage cheese labels.

The list of 50 things every graphic design student should know is a little limiting because they apply to people who aren't students and professions other than graphic design. I like #2: There is always someone better, or as Qui-Gon Jinn said "There's always a bigger fish." I don't really like #33: There's no such thing as a bad client. Apparently the author hasn't seen (The Customer Is) Not Always Right.

Microsoft has an exclusive deal to block any sale of more than 30% of Nvidia? More FUD from Microsoft: "developers targeting Windows 8 would be using HTML5 and Javascript and some kind of new software development kit." Want to win $20,000?

Regarding Scotches: my first startup used single malt projects names: Glen Fiddich, Glen Morangie, Glen Kinchie... Best company culture I've had.
JavsScript does seem to be gaining traction with libraries like jQuery. I would be interested if you find the book useful. The one I have from O'Reilly, arguably an old edition, is an example of what I hate in technical books: page bloat from an urge to document everything. Of course, I think, Kernigan + Ritchie's "C Programming Language" is the ideal model: show me the syntax, give me some good, working examples, and I'll figure out the rest.
I leave you with the bacon bra.
(This is my 3rd attempt at this comment, trying to work around "service unavailable" issues.)
The launch parties for your scotch-based projects must have been well lubricated.
Unfortunately, the Javascript book I have it the O'Reilly book. (I borrowed it.) And I agree that K&R is an excellent book.
As for the bacon bra, uncooked bacon is kinda gross and now those boobs need washing.
The water droplets. Do you know if they evaporate as whole droplets or diffuse and then evaporate? Fascinating video.
I spent my life working with graphic artists. I have a different list.
Loved the What's Opera Doc.
My sister, an HR person, recently told me the exact same thing about her company and insurance policies. The savings for them would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I really don't know what would happen to the droplets. Part of me thinks the surface tension would hold them together so they'd shrink to nothing while another part thinks they'd shrink and then get unstable and fall apart.
Chuck Jones' work is wonderful - simplicity hiding complexity, humor hiding intelligence. That's why I collect his work.
Healthcare is a terrible mess because the gov't decided to get involved. I don't want to get off on a rant.
John -- healthcare is a mess and going to get worse. Maybe I'm throwing raw meat into the den but, my sister's point was "why should I pay a lot of money for a company-wide policy when the gov'ts fines are a lot less."
Also, look for mass exodus of age 50+ MD's after 2014. Ain't no way they're gonna make the transition.
If you were to force me to bet, I'd bet the surface tension is released at some evaporation point and the droplets diffuse. Just a guess.
What's even stranger is when I talk to my own doctor, he's taking steps to keep his staffing level below 50 so that certain provisions of health care reform don't apply to him. A doctor operating as a businessman.
One of my main problems is that, as of last year at least, a lot of the details of HCR hadn't yet been defined. That's how things like the 1099 requirement (hence repealed) get into HCR. In other words, they know what they want to accomplish but they have no idea how they're going to do it - a pesky detail left for later.
That's as much of your bait as I'll take ;-)
