Sunday, April 3, 2011. Spark 143 - They let me do a thing on couponing. I'm on Spark this week, talking about the online community of coupon hackers and how we actually trade paper coupons through the mail, and how we teach each other how to get the best deal. If you are wondering why there is a picture of a baby playing with pill bottles, take a listen. Now for a few tips for those just starting out in the world of coupon hacking:. Links to this post. This is what happens when you read too much science.

Sunday, October 3, 2010. Bug Highway in the Sky - an exemplar of science radio. Robert Krulwich is a master of storytelling. He's one of those few people who can take almost any piece of information and turn it into intelligent, and fun, radio. As someone who hopes to continue in the radio craft, and one day actually get to focus on science storytelling, Krulwich is an example. But enough of my radio pontificating - here's the story. And then there is this fancy little adaptation. Links to this post.

Sunday, January 23, 2011. Caveman tweeting and SPARK. No better reason to blow life into this cadaver of a blog than a national piece of radio. Spark this week is featuring, amongst other great radio pieces, my story about Caveman tweeting and the beginnings of writing. So what is the basics of the story? But, for many years archaeologists have had niggling suspicions that the roots of writing go back tens of thousands of years. For more info on Genevieve and her work at the Bradshaw Foundation.

Saturday, February 12, 2011. Prepping the "Planet Hunter" with Les Saddlemyer. Gemini South Observatory by moonlight, home of the GPI. Planets, planets everywhere, but what do you use to look at them with? Telescopes. Or more specifically, the multi-million dollar plug and play instruments that telescopes use. You see, telescopes are platforms for equipment. Electromagnetic radiation (light, x-rays, radio waves, etc.)is gathered in for other devices to record the data. The Gemini Planet Imager. In a base...

Friday, June 25, 2010. Science Hero: Hedy Lamarr. Having a young daughter has changed how I view the world, and how I view science. Many of the most important discoveries in science and technology have been made by women. Radiation, the basic structure of DNA, the foundations of modern mathematical theory are just a few. And there were few people smarter, or more charismatic, than the actress Hedy Lamarr. A primer on Hedy from the BCS. The Chartered Institute for IT. Information Pioneers: Hedy Lamarr.

Monday, January 4, 2010. 2010 will be a big year. Two considerations of scale:. This is the ever growing immensity of our universe, found via Digital Universe Atlas. And here is the surging hormonal growth of our digital world -. SO, all aspects of our reality seem to have a never ending vastness that we, as mid rank intelligences, can never hope of knowing, or understanding it all. This year we will try harder.
