Glee! I was browsing Ellen Datlow’s livejournal, looking for references to an anthology she’s editing that features a short story by Jim, when I came upon a reference to her anthology featuring a short story written by my college roommate! I boggle at the spectacular pedigree of authors involved. Ko is in great company!

Academic Earth fills me with giddy glee. As described by LifeHacker:
Web site Academic Earth is like Hulu for academic lectures, pulling free lectures from Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale into one attractive, easy to navigate site. It’s incredible.
The site clearly takes its cues from Hulu and iTunes on its design, but it’s ten times better than either, because it’s open. The videos can be embedded anywhere or downloaded and enjoyed wherever you want to take them. It’s easy to use, has tons of great content, and it doesn’t cost a dime.
Wow. I am on that like beige on unbleached rice. Now I just have to figure out where to start! Biology? Economics? Psychology? History? I think I’ll start with The Civil War and Reconstruction Era, 1845-1877.

Your result for The 3-Variable Funny Test…
(52% dark, 27% spontaneous, 11% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK
You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re probably an intellectual, but don’t take that to mean pretentious. You realize ‘dumb’ can be witty–after all isn’t that the Simpsons’ philosophy?–but rudeness for its own sake, ‘gross-out’ humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.
You just have a more cerebral approach than most. Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

I’ve updated the tnm.n photography gallery with the new photographs I took this past weekend. Shiny!
And again, I am struck silly by the dearth of photographs taken in 2008. I wonder if I have enough artsy photos to justify an “Around the City” category, like 2003’s “Around Penn” section. Bet I do.
Quite possibly one of the most awe-sinspiring things I’ve seen in my life:
