If you don't subscribe to my Flickr feed you're really missing out .

Is there any chance that I'd pass up on blogging about a Times sea cow article ? No. In other news, my season one DVD of Dr. Katz arrived. Unfortunately, UPS bent it like Zidane, in that the packaging appeared to be headbutted repeatedly. But then the replacement DVD arrived, and things were good. Now if I can just get Sheryl to stay awake through an entire episode...

Back in my day, cereal-related art was mad nascent . Now it's mad burgeoning .

I haven't done anything with the Scaffoldings site recently, but this might be worth going to Manhattan and photographing.

I'm not the only one .

Because we haven't done this in a while , and because I still love rock & roll: ...imagine a rubber band stretched around an apple or a doughnut; on the apple, the rubber band can be shrunk without limit, but on the doughnut it is stopped by the hole. Applied mathematically to this metric, the Ricci flow acts like heat, flowing through the space in question, smoothing and straightening all its bumps and curves to reveal its essential shape, the way a hair dryer shrink-wraps plastic. All I need to know about topology I learned from Scotter.

I'm not really one for gambling, even when it's on something like whether North Korea is going to launch missles , but following sports via charts is infinitely more efficient.

A rhyming couplet that neither rhymes nor couples: What could be more perverse?

Yeah right, sea cow ! Why on earth won't they release Dr. Katz on DVD? Edit: Turns out that they've released the first six episodes ! Hopefully there are more to come.

Two banana tidbits (not to be confused with bananatidbits ) to report today: Bananas are becoming much more functional . Bananas are becoming much more extinct . As a special bonus, this is what bananas look like.

The Times discovers HDR image processing, a few months late . Will 's got a whole set of HDR pics up on Flickr. I've got to get off my ass and start putting my digial SLR to work.

Here are links to trailers of movies I'd like to see, in approximate descending order of how much I'd like to see them: The Science of Sleep Borat The Oh in Ohio Volver Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (okay, this one should be way higher) The Illusionist Also, I don't know the difference between Mark Ruffalo and Paul Rudd .
