In their seminal paper "Flying in Tune: Sexual recognition in mosquitoes", Gabrielle Gibson and and Ian Russel from the University of Greenwich discovered an inspiring phenomenon: male mosquitoes change their buzzing frequency to match that of a female mosquito. This synchronization brings their wing beats to within a millisecond or less of one another. The authors suggest that this phenomenon facilitates the mosquitoes' ability to copulate mid-flight. We take advantage of this phenomenon to engage the mosquitoes in song, inspired by the North Indian classical vocal tradition of Dhrupad. - Erik Johansen

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Pentagon will lift its longtime ban on media coverage of the flag-draped coffins of war victims arriving at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, according to a senior U.S. defense official with direct knowledge of the decision. The coverage must be approved by the victims' families, however. Advocates of opening the base to coverage say the unmarked coffins make it impossible to identify specific remains. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is to announce the change at a news conference at 2 p.m. ET, the senior official said. He ordered a review after President Obama asked for more information on the long-standing policy." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

@ Scott. I totally understand the desire to make people think about it. Most never even let the coffins enter their conscious. However, I believe the families should have the choice, public or private. Plenty of families will still want the homecoming to be as public as a parade. We certainly honor the living, why not a little public honoring of the dead? - Phil Boiarski

Feedly has reduced my RSS browsing times by almost 2/3rds. Being able to set up different views(photos/vids) for categories the interesting 'Explore' feature, and the easy & non-intrusive FriendFeed/Twitter/Reader capabilities have made me an RSS reading powerhouse. - Erik Johansen

Dude, it was like that at least a month or two ago. Still the same cheap sushi & warm sake though. Banzai! - Erik Johansen

I used to get my cheesesteaks at Philly Bilmo's in Vancouver. Best I could find out there that was as good as the Philly cart in Downtown. There's also Philadelphia's on Milwaukie which I was just at today :) Both of these places also have TastyCakes, Bilmo's has a wider range of sammiches than Philadelphia's. - Erik Johansen

Thanks. I'll have to try those next time I'm in the 'Couve. :-) - Josh Bancroft

I really love ctags inside of vim. Quite handy. Combine the Vim ctags plugin with Vim's Ctrl+P completion and you've got all the things I love about bigger(Eclipse) IDE's. I think I've even used that colorscheme for a while at some point. - Erik Johansen
