Left is nothing but

I had thumbs, I would cut you.
Remembrance of African Grays past
Irene Pepperberg's talk brought back memories of when I lived with an African Gray. Mahorn wasn't as demonstrably clever as Irene's parrots. However, she was well-stimulated and loved practical jokes. Her favorite was to call out "I've got it" when the phone rang ... in perfect mimicry of one of my housemates.
We missed a lot of calls that way.
Animate Forms
I caugh architect Greg Lynn's presentation this morning. It was a little early for calculus but damn those were some really cool structures. I want to live in a giant flower.

James Surowiecki is on stage right now talking about The Wisdom of Blogs. I have to say I'm into it.
Air raid
On the way in yesterday, Karen and I witnessed an unusual sight. Five jets streaking across the sky in lockstep, leaving behind this quintupling of contrails over Monterey.
Revving up
For the Blogging Clinic. TED brings out the well-intentioned "I know about it, I want to do it, I just haven't had the time" crowd. It's our job to show 'em how in 10 minutes. To unleash the blogger within, as it were. Someone from Starbucks just stopped by and said: "oh, we want to have blogs where we're sponsoring cafes at events - like film fests." HELL-oh.
