"I can tell you the exact date that I began to think of myself in the first-person plural — as a superorganism, that is, rather than a plain old individual human being. It happened on March 7. That’s when I opened my e-mail to find a huge, processor-choking file of charts and raw data from a laboratory located at the BioFrontiers Institute at the University of Colorado, Boulder. As part of a new citizen-science initiative called the American Gut project, the lab sequenced my microbiome — that is, the genes not of “me,” exactly, but of the several hundred microbial species with whom I share this body. These bacteria, which number around 100 trillion, are living (and dying) right now on the surface of my skin, on my tongue and deep in the coils of my intestines, where the largest contingent of them will be found, a pound or two of microbes together forming a vast, largely uncharted interior wilderness that scientists are just beginning to map." - Todd Hoff from Bookmarklet

"Two other features of my microbiome attracted the attention of the researchers who examined it. First, the overall biodiversity of my gut community was significantly higher than that of the typical Westerner, which I decided to take as a compliment, though the extravagantly diverse community of microbes on my skin raised some eyebrows. “Where have your hands been, man?” Jeff Leach of... more... - ʎəlɹoɯ uəʞ

"KAZAKHSTAN – After five months in space, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield was shocked to discover his cell phone provider has charged him well over a million dollars for data usage and roaming charges while he was in space. “This is ridiculous,” said the 53 year-old who recently commanded the International Space Station and a proud owner of an iPhone 5. “I only Instagrammed a few hundred pictures of the sun coming up over the Sahara Desert and a thunderstorm over the Pacific Ocean, posted my videos of me eating in space a few dozen times on Twitter and watched a few YouTube videos of goats that sound like humans and that’s it!” When asked why he didn’t buy a better data plan, Hadfield responded “I didn’t want to pay for an additional $20 a month rip-off when I’m orbiting the earth in 90 minutes.” “My parents are going to kill me!” he added." - Spidra Webster from Bookmarklet

Looks great on a large flat screen smart TV; remembers your position in any movie or TV episode for all your devices; fairly good selection of TV series; strong recommender system; no freaking commercials. Needs to expand radically to include all the movies, documentaries and TV series in the world. Needs to amp up its search features. - Sean McBride

"“The Flapper awoke from her lethargy of sub-deb-ism, bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity and rouge and went into the battle. She flirted because it was fun to flirt and wore a one-piece bathing suit because she had a good figure, she covered her face with powder and paint because she didn’t need it and she refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn’t boring. She was conscious that the things she did were the things she had always wanted to do. Mothers disapproved of their sons taking the Flapper to dances, to teas, to swim and most of all to heart. She had mostly masculine friends, but youth does not need friends—it needs only crowds.”" - Todd Hoff from Bookmarklet

Wow, that must have been fun to hear from her directly. Unfortunately for the film I'm now less excited about knowing how it is tainted. - Todd Hoff

Prismatic: best in class for smart news readers, with Zite a close second. Google should buy Prismatic and its best minds. - Sean McBride

If I were Google, I would reorganize Google News around Prismatic -- give it a big push forward. - Sean McBride

A team of engineers in the US has fabricated flexible, skin-like arrays of nanowire transistors that convert mechanical motion into electronic signals and are as sensitive as a human fingertip, according to the researchers. This means that the arrays could help robots to adjust intuitively the force they use to grasp things, be used in human prosthetics, as well as offer new ways for us to interface with a variety of electronic devices. - Halil from Bookmarklet

I would think the latter, since its plural in form even if used for a singular meaning. - John (bird whisperer)

Okay but what about "mamanem"? As in "How's your mamanem?" *runs* - MoTO #TeamMonique

pstp bev prohib "The cost of enforcing Prohibition was high, and the lack of tax revenues on alcohol (some $500 million annually nationwide)[citation needed] affected government coffers. When repeal of Prohibition occurred in 1933, organized crime lost nearly all of its black market alcohol profits in most states (states still had the right to enforce their own laws concerning alcohol consumption) because of competition with low-priced alcohol sales at legal liquor stores. Prohibition had a notable effect on the alcohol brewing industry in the United States. When Prohibition ended, only half the breweries that previously existed reopened. The post-Prohibition period saw the introduction of the American lager style of beer, which dominates today. 4 -14http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...... more... - Thomas Page from Bookmarklet

“New forms of finance powered by technological changes and higher social and environmental awareness slowly begin to arise and set up the basis of a very different financial system. The map depicts the fundamental reconfiguration of the existing financial system which is moving away from the current model of vertically-­integrated monoliths towards a financial ecosystem of firms that compete along different banking function, recreating a more distributed value chain of the industry.” , 3 -22 bitcoin http://www.salon.com/2013... , Bitcoin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Thomas Page from Bookmarklet

i had one back in the farming days, great tool for whacking weeds, like thistles, bracken fern, much faster than wheeled machines, no noise, fumes, or starting troubles! - daveeza

A national survey by the center found that 52 percent said that the use of pot should be legal while 45 percent said it should remain illegal. In more than 40 years of polling on the issue, this is the first time most Americans have backed legalization of the drug, according to Pew. In 1969, a Gallup survey found that only 12 percent favored legalization and 84 percent were opposed. - Eric from Bookmarklet
