42There’s been a lot of amusing news of late.

Another Bigfoot hoax. Apple the cow makes friends with an apple-loving bear. A penguin is knighted.

Today I’ve been thinking about the hadron supercollider. I listened to a TED podcast today by physicist Brian Cox and was completely wowed. TED is one of my favorite things in the world. TED is thinky people thinking about thinky stuff. Ideas gone viral. The people are all so well-spoken – Majora Carter, Erin McKean, Jill Bolte Taylor – and their stories so compelling. Greening the ghettos. Reconceptualizing the functionality of dictionaries. Relearning speech.
