"From 1894 to 1899, it tracked the growing popularity of cycling in its nascent years, offering a revealing — and often amusing — window into the days when riding on two wheels was as high tech as writing code. “It was the PC of back then,” said Carl Burgwardt, owner and curator of the Pedaling History Bicycle Museum in Buffalo. “That was the topic of the day. The bicycle was the hot thing.” Some ideas about riding were tested in the column, such as the notion that one would develop “bicycle face” from riding: “the strained, half-despairing look which has come to be regarded as a characteristic of wheelmen.” Other columns voiced similarly specious health concerns, with particular emphasis on the danger to the lungs posed by arching one’s body for speed, a position the column once called “the monkey hump.” Needless to say, the unnamed Times cycling reporter did not look kindly on drop handlebars, or velocity of any sort." - Goran Zec from Bookmarklet

otkad su dečki bili donili knjižice u mamu, mamima-peder-garda je diskutirala o tome. a kako je garda uglavnom esteticističkog usmjerenja, brošura joj se nije svidjela. al dobro, barem je duhovita. meni je u reakciji queer-zagreba pak čudno zazvučalo ovo: "Da su se autori/ce napada na brošuru posavjetovali sa stručnjacima, ili da su makar prosurfali internetom, možda bi naučili da... more... - Petar Milat

"The camera can be powered with a battery or with a dynamo, where 6 cranks = 1 picture, a feature I’d love to have in any or all of the cameras I use. It’s also got lenses on a rotating wheel, including a wide angle lens and a prism for taking stereo pictures. It goes beyond just a buildable camera kit, though… The overall mission of the BigShot project aims to keep the camera cheap... more... - Goran Zec

"SPDY, pronounced "SPeeDY" is an early-stage research project that is part of our effort to make the web faster [...] at its core it's an application-layer protocol for transporting content over the web. It is designed specifically for minimizing latency through features such as multiplexed streams, request prioritization and HTTP header compression." - Goran Zec from Bookmarklet

"Dr Lee and Dr Piazza found, as they report in the Journal of Experimental Biology, that the toes of their sprinters averaged 8.2cm in length, while those of non-sprinters averaged 7.3cm. The length of the lever of bone that the Achilles tendon pulls on also differed, being a quarter shorter in sprinters. These findings suggest sprinters get better contact with the ground by having longer toes. That makes sense, as it creates a firmer platform to push against. [...] The reason for the difference in the Achilles tendons, though, is less immediately obvious. At first sight, sprinters might be expected to have more Achilles leverage than average, not less. [But] When muscles have to contract a long way, they usually do so quickly and with little force. When contracting short distances, though, they move more slowly and generate more force. Having a short Achilles lever allows the muscles that pull on the tendon to generate as much as 40% more force than in a non-sprinter..." - Goran Zec

"Zimbardo recruited subjects through a newspaper ad that said "male college students needed for a psychological study of prison life. $15/day for 1-2 weeks" It's a legitimate question: what kind of a nut signs up for that? There's an answer. In a follow up experiment in 2007 designed specifically to answer that question, two ads were placed in newspapers, one recruiting "male college students needed for a psychological study. $70/day for 1-2 weeks" and the other, slightly different ad recruiting for "a psychological study of prison life. $70/day for 1-2 weeks." The subjects weer screened with personality inventories, and, surprise, "prison study" recruits scored significantly higher on narcissism, social dominance, aggression, Machiavellianism and authoritarianism (but especially the first three.) When you do a study, you get what you pay for." - Goran Zec

"There are some remarkable contrasts, Slate found, between "dumb" searches and "smart" ones. People who start their search "how 2" are more likely to search "how 2 get pregnant" or "how 2 grow weed." People who start their search "how one might" are more likely to search "how one might discover a new piece of music" or "how one might account for the rise of andrew jackson in 1828." The most fascinating contrast is between "is it wrong to..." vs. "is it ethical to." One change in word generates very different suggestions." - Goran Zec

"In a sense [eating dogs is] what we're doing already. Rendering—the conversion of animal protein unfit for human consumption into food for livestock and pets—allows processing plants to transform useless dead dogs into productive members of the food chain. In America, millions of dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters every year become the food for our food. So let's just eliminate this inefficient and bizarre middle step." - Goran Zec

"Under monopoly all mass culture is identical, and the lines of its artificial framework begin to show through. The people at the top are no longer so interested in concealing monopoly: as its violence becomes more open, so its power grows. Movies and radio need no longer pretend to be art. The truth that they are just business is made into an ideology in order to justify the rubbish they deliberately produce. They call themselves industries; and when their directors' incomes are published, any doubt about the social utility of the fini shed products is removed."

All episodes available: "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage is a thirteen-part television series written by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steven Soter, with Sagan as global presenter. It was executive-produced by Adrian Malone, produced by David Kennard, Geoffrey Haines-Stiles and Gregory Andorfer, and directed by the producers and David Oyster, Richard Wells, Tom Weidlinger, and others. It covered a wide range of scientific subjects including the origin of life and a perspective of our place in the universe. The series was first broadcast by the Public Broadcasting Service in 1980, and was the most widely watched series in the history of American public television until The Civil War (1990). It is still the most widely watched PBS series in the world. It won an Emmy and a Peabody Award and has since been broadcast in more than 60 countries and seen by over 600 million people, according to the Science Channel. A book to accompany the series was also published." - Goran Zec

"Culture isn't knowing when Napoleon died. Culture means knowing how I can find out in two minutes. Of course, nowadays I can find this kind of information on the Internet in no time. But, as I said, you never know with the Internet. [...] If you interact with things in your life, everything is constantly changing. And if nothing changes, you're an idiot." - Goran Zec

"Since releases 2.6/3.0 Python has a new turtle module. It was conceived primarily as a tool for teaching in a way that allows for using a range of different programming styles as well as different approaches to doing geometry, thus constricting the instructor's approach and ideas as little as possible. One of the main goals was to provide quick interactive access to nevertheless powerful graphics without any need of preliminary GUI-composing overhead. The talk will show seven ways to use this module, using concise examples to illustrate them. Albeit short - these examples will cover a range from very simple to somewhat sophisticated, but most of them impressive. Have a look at them and see if there's something you like or something you find useful." - Goran Zec

"One of the critical causes of those symptoms is the fact we no longer have to see the direct repercussions our purchases have on the people, environment and animals they affect. The degrees of separation between the consumer and the consumed have increased so much that we're completely unaware of the levels of destruction and suffering embodied in the stuff we buy. The tool that has enabled this separation is money. If we grew our own food, we wouldn't waste a third of it as we do today. If we made our own tables and chairs, we wouldn't throw them out the moment we changed the interior decor. If we had to clean our own drinking water, we probably wouldn't contaminate it." - Goran Zec

"There are countless pundits and other tech gurus describing Google Wave as a disappointment, lately. Most of that seems to come from the fact that nobody seems to get what Wave is for. So they compare it to social media. Is Wave the next Twitter? Nope. Is it the next Facebook? Nope. Is it going to replace Instant Messengers? Possibly, in some circumstances, but not any time soon. I believe this is partly Google’s fault: they released Wave to geeks and hackers and social media folks first. But Wave is not a geek/hacker tool, or a social media tool, it’s a corporate tool that solves work problems (more on that later). On the other hand, they never claimed it would be a Facebook replacement or a Twitter killer. Google calls wave an “online tool for real-time communication and collaboration”. The way Google should have advertised Wave is: “it solves the problems with email”." via http://glyphobet.net/blog... via http://ff.im/bjYXl - Goran Zec
