Cool TED talk on animal & robot feet. Geckos' feet do utterly amazing stuff and octopi are more clever than I realized.

Movies! From Africa! 2008
As part of my continuing project to get my stuff stored somewhere other than some musty backup folder on my computer, I've set up a Vimeo account.
You can see my latest films here:
At the moment these are a bunch of short clips from my African trip in November 2005, but if I understand the widget rightly it'll update with whatever I subsequently load on there.

Great practical cheese advice from my friend Gordon in this this interview for The Kitchn.
"Q: When is it OK to eat the rind?
A: It's OK to eat the rind whenever you feel like eating the rind. It's OK to leave the rind too. Taste a little bit if you can't decide. If it's bitter, dirty-tasting or too hard, don't eat it."
I love the cheese-positive attitude of the Rainbow Grocery cheese folks.

Fellow fans of photo-artist Mattijn Franssen will be pleased to learn that his work is busting out of the confines of Flickr and into book form.
I've been impressed by the quality of Blurb publications in the past, so I'll be getting a copy of this one.

The secret of happiness is this: Let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
