They were seen traveling without fear of traffic as they crossed streets in mass floods. Many Chinese sensed the migration as a bad omen of a coming natural disaster, but the Chinese government told them that it was just a natural migration for the purpose of propagation. This calmed the people and no one took the omen very seriously. On Monday, 12th of May, at about 2:45pm, central China region recorded a 7.8-magnit 2008-05-15 16:02:43 PDT http://technorati.com/search/icantseeyou.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/05/frogs-predicted.html 63 78 http://www.wisdomofwhores.com/2008/05/14/random-thoughts-on-data-from-dilbert/ http://www.wisdomofwhores.com/2008/05/14/random-thoughts-on-data-from-dilbert/ Thu, 15 May 2008 16:00:13 -0700 Random thoughts on data from Dilbert This evening, I’m speaking at London’s Southbank Centre about how to communicate uncertainties in data to a non-scientific audience.

For years and certainly throughout my training the conventional wisdom (should have been our first clue) was that children, barring those that were breast fed, were better served by iron-fortified infant formula than by formula with low-iron. Traditional iron-fortified formula has approximately 12 mg/L of ferrous sulfate added and it’s weaker brother has a mere 2-3 mg/L 2008-05-15 15:54:36 PDT http://technorati.com/search/reasontreason.com/blog1/2008/05/15/the-formula-for-formula/ 0 0 reasonTreason http://hypermodern.net/archives/pete-ippels-art-show-featured-in-sfweekly/ http://hypermodern.net/archives/pete-ippels-art-show-featured-in-sfweekly/ Thu, 15 May 2008 15:50:19 -0700 I got a really nice writeup Wednesday in the SFWeekly…Thanks to Hiya Swanhuyser for the article. Pete Ippel is a modern exponent of a long-standing tradition: the bro artist. Think of athlete-philosophers like Jack Kerouac, Richie Tenenbaum, both Jack Johnsons, or Muhammad Ali…Ippel surfs, plays basketball, and his video work explores issues such as hands-free noseblowing and how weird it is to have emotions about water.
