If we had worn these to Folk Fest, maybe we wouldn’t have had that case dumped.

Neat find! I like the way that the narrator tries to explain the usefulness of these paradoxes.

I won’t be satisfied til I get my laser blaster. Preferably the Boba Fett version.

Rampant consumerism… if only we’d buy something worth purchasing. Nice post.

Malaria needs to mature inside the human body, so if you inoculate enough people, you can disrupt the life-cycle of the parasite. I believe Rotary is working towards eradication of malaria as one of their worldwide goals.

Also, don’t buy a 3D TV.

I thought Malaria was spread by Mosquitos. How do you get rid of Malaria without getting rid of mosquitos?

I’m gonna go buy me my 3D TV now thanks.

I think I’ll stick to the way my mom did it. In an effort to strangle me to death.

Comment on Mapping distance by time not, uh, distance by Grant Hamilton

Grant Hamilton — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:09:45 +0000

It’s well beyond my coding capability, but if this map can be more than a one-off, if it can be something that’s relatively easily ported, using open-data map standards, then I could envision a map that even lets you weigh all the variable to come up with a custom map for you. For example, if I’m twice as interested in cheap travel as I am in fast travel, and I’m mildly conscious about my environmental impact, I’d like to be able to play with sliders to change the map per me.

Great stuff. I’d love to see a similar map for distances by cost, or even by carbon cost. Tough to do, obviously, but if time mapping is possible, almost anything is.
