In a surprising analogue to the way the human eye -- and the human eye particularly, in that we as a species are exemplars of daytime animals with good forward-facing vision -- has most of its sensory equipment pointed directly forward in a localized area of the eye called the fovea, but then the whole eye can be pointed around with eyeball muscles, and humans can only see with good detail and color-acuity within a few degrees off from the center of our vision, and the whole situation can profitably be thought of like shining a very narrow spotlight out into the dark, a staggeringly large darkness representing the whole world of things, a collection of items only a few of which you can be focusing on at a given instant in time, let alone attending to with your higher cognitive faculties (a topic which bears further consideration, but probably not right now), here at oniugnip, I'd like to shine the searingly bright spotlight of the attention of my readers -- you, the reading public -- onto a few items located out there in the dark, dark jumble of items supposedly present in the confusing and dark world we call the "blogosphere".

- Joe Mathlete has produced not only a Great American Novel, but also a daily critical reading of the popular comic strip Marmaduke.

- If you find yourself in Finland, and you need some help with getting some science done, you should probably talk to the Academy of Finland. They've got the hookup.

Very pretty, by the by.

"Blow up the outside world..."

It's true!

*sings*
Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it’s wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world

Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holding me to blame
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
