Interesting thing happened today, Google opened its gadgets for placement on any web page (it used to only work on their own properties). Why is this interesting? Because most of Google is open via their API. As part of the wiki/blog at ThinkNOLA, this opens up a possibility for something that has generated a little […]
I never watched Bob Ross, mostly because I never considered myself artistic as a kid. So, watching this fascinating clip of Bob Ross that someone posted to YouTube made me feel like I was watching clips from someone else’s childhood. I was vaguely aware of Bob Ross and slightly more aware of this painting thing, but I never actually […]
I only ask because it might be important to know in the future. Seems that some paleontologists (that would be smart people who play in the dirt) found a friggen huge Tyrannosaurus rex thigh bone in Montana a couple months ago.

But then he had to go and do something stupid like this. “Lots of intelligent people can disagree about the origins of life. In the end, […]

Kudos to Sarah Lewis, Operations Director for ThinkNOLA, and Valdis Krebs from Network Weaving for their continued work on making sense of all the New Orleans groups involved in the recovery. Valdis has posted the first network map of the more than 1,000 groups, people and orginizations that Sarah catalogued. You can see the map […]
I. Effing. Hate. those insipid managerial motivational posters. The Demotivational posters [purchase] jumped the shark a long time ago, too. But, you have to have something in your mental back pocket to jump start yourself (as my last post illustrates). Mine is from Hugh MacLeod at gapidvoid.com and came from the Hughtrain, his response to […]
