"Science is the only news..." So true today.

In a meeting all morning; just heard about the neutrino/speed of light findings and immediately remembered this:

"Science is the only news. When you scan through a newspaper or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same sorry cyclic dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness. Even the technology is predictable if you know the science. Human nature doesnŐt change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irresversibly."

Stewart Brand
quoted in The Third Culture (Brockman)

Here is the Texas governor rejecting the science of climate change while his own state is on fire

Thomas Friedman:

"Remember the first rule of global warming. The way it unfolds is really 'global weirding.' The weather gets weird: the hots get hotter; the wets wetter; and the dries get drier. This is not a hoax. This is high school physics…"

A great cartoonist. Parkinson's. A graphic novel. Brilliant. http://goo.gl/DCZL0

Peter Dunlap-Shohl is an artist, thinker, philosopher — and the best cartoonist Alaska's ever produced. The onset of Parkinson's Disease, slowly robbing him of the muscular control that made his drawings, seemed especially perverse and cruel.

Well, of course it is. But that's not *all* it is. It's also fueled a multi-year creative burst unmatched in his career before disease. And now it's flowering into a spectacular graphic novel.

You can preview the first 11 pages here. I couldn't stop reading. 

Draw, Peter, draw Peter, draw and do not waste time.

Every Labor Day weekend sidewalks at Fremont Park are decorated to raise money for school art programs.

One of my worst autocorrect disasters yet. The original post of this item had been autocorrected to read "desecrate" rather than "decorate."

No, no. I love the annual "Chalk it Up" event at our neighborhood park.
