media commentary?

In a few hours, I'll be nearly done for the semester :)

(so, like, I'd better get to that.)

However! A few links for you!
- The White House Correspondents Dinner Thing! (torrent here)

- Trailer for Mystic Ball: The Movie. It's a film about Chinlone, a sport you haven't heard about yet. It's something like a six-person hackey-sack-capoeira-juggling-dance, played by those crazy theravada Buddhist kids in Burma. This is likely the very coolest thing that people do anywhere.

there are two major classes of problems with science

1) The first class is aesthetic: you may find the whole enterprise uninteresting, dry, yucky, or overly focused on the bizarre western/phallogocentric/dualistic notion of the observer as separate from an objectified environment.

2) The second class of problems has just one member: it is the state of affairs in which not all published articles are freely available online from the personal homepage of the author.
