An enlightening essay by Paul Saffo on what analog TV “snow” is — and why he’s keeping his old TV around:

“This is why I won’t throw out my analog TV or retire its rabbit ears any time soon. Analog broadcast has gone mute, but the longest-running TV show in the universe - the cosmic radiation of the Big Bang— is still playing and I might want to tune in from time to time. Maybe it will help me get to sleep some night, and who knows, perhaps the Universe will whisper a secret in my ear.”

Derivatives explained: Until I saw this scene from the Martin Scorsese film Mean Streets, I didn’t understand the way derivatives worked. Robert De Niro (Johnny Boy) explaining derivatives to Harvey Keitel (Charlie) cleared up my confusion.

It’s been a while since I posted here, so I guess I’ll start back with a contest. Actually, it’s Google Earth that’s having a contest. Figure out where this high-res image of some cows are and you win. Hint: It’s somewhere on the earth.

You know the 10,000 hour rule. Apply that to street/trails biking and you get this.

Description: Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen. There’s some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.

Paul Chenoweth used his Flip camera to video my answer to a question a Belmont journalism student asked about Facebook’s “attempt” to change its terms of use agreement. The part that Paul edited out (at my request) was where I stopped being polite and called the now-reversed attempt to change the TOS “bullshit.” (via chenowethp)
