      The New Yorker’s Food Issue
      The New Yorker remains one of the few magazines that I read cover to cover (included in that list is Cat Bowl Weekly and Dollhouses for Grown-Ups). My filing cabinet bulges with articles, cartoons, and humor essays that I've torn out over the years. One issue that I always save in toto is the annual Food Issue, and this year's version, out now, is no exception. So far, I've read James Surowiecki's

      The New Yorker on Simultaneous Invention and the Intellectual Ventures Laboratories [Pulp-bite]
      Malcolm Gladwell (smart guy, puffy hair) has a feature in this week's The New Yorker about the history of simultaneous invention, the best example being Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray both patenting the telephone on the same day. There are many other examples, leading to the conclusion that "scientific discoveries must, in some sense, be inevitable. They must be in the air, products of the intellectual climate of a specific time and place." The story is put into modern perspective by including scenes drawn from meetings of members of the company called Intellectual Ventures. The founding member, Nathan Myhrvold, also founded Microsoft's R&D labs. His idea for IV was to see if "the kind of insight that leads to invention could be engineered."

Someone would really have to be an idiot to think that they could get away with ripping off a Far Side cartoon.  The Far Side has been around for a long time.  The cartoons have been republished on the web, newspapers, and in books for years.  The more popular cartoons have been made into gift-giving cards, t-shirts, and other merchandise.  Fans know the work backwards and forwards. I could see this happening maybe with a young kid.  But I find it hard to believe that an established cartoonist with a publication as popular as The New Yorker would think that they could do this without getting caught. I think that this is one of the few situations where 2 different cartoonist came up with a similar gag - parallel thinking. One of the edit

      In the weeks since Madeleine L'Engle's passing, there have been some truly wonderful things said about her. I've learned more about Ms. L'Engle and her writing in the last month or so than I had my whole life, and I considered myself to be pretty knowledgable before. So before these writings fade into internet archive obscurity, I want to point out a few of my favorites. But before I do that, I have to talk about the infamous New Yorker piece. To many, this was at best an unflattering portrait of L'Engle. If you're the type of person who puts your heroes on pedestals, this is probably not the article for you. But if you, like myself, are interested in the universe from which people create, then this is one of the most fascinating reads you could ever come across. It brings to light two things about L'Engle. One, her humanity. As much as people like myself love to quote her and be amazed by some of the ideas she's espoused over the years, she was a normal person with

      As we were checking out of our hotel yesterday morning, we hit a snag in saying goodbye to the Windy City.

However, he soon returned without the car."I can't get to the car. They won't let anyone cross the street."Sure enough, the street was blocked off by Chicago police, with a few construction workers wandering the deserted street. They were moving steel beams by helicopter, and although I could hear the helicopter, never once did I see it pass over the street.We waited patiently at first, hoping it would only take a few minutes. During that time, I got to say goodbye to several bloggers as they passed through the lobby, as well as chat with Lisa Stone about the need for a BlogHer Mommy conference (seriously, we need one!). Cordy ran around the lobby, tripping up men in business suits and closing off the revolving door by laying i

      Why would a New Yorker worry about security?
      Ever feel like politicians operate on a different level than we do? Back in January, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg delivered his annual State of the City Address (see video above). “This year,” said the mayor, “ we’ll begin a revolutionary innovation in crime-fighting: Equipping “911″ call centers to receive digital images and videos New Yorkers send from cell phones and computers something no other city in the world is doing (sic).” So if a New Yorker happened to see a crime in progress, she or he could be part of the solution—maybe even part of prevention. Segue to June, 2007, when four Muslim men came up with a stellar plan to advance their cause. Three of them were arrested, for allegedly planning to destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport. Had the alleged plan worked, thousands of people might have died. Billions of dollars in property damage would have occurred had plans succeeded to blow up a jet fuel artery that runs through reside

      How To Meet Kyoto? Live Like a New Yorker
      A study released on Tuesday revealed that New York was responsible for a full 1% of the United States' greenhouse gases. Coming much later in the article is the key point - that at 8.7 million people the Big Apple accounts for almost 3% of the total US population, meaning that the footprint of your average New Yorker is about 1/3 that of your average American.The lesson? If every American lived like a New Yorker the US wouldn't have to agree to the Kyoto Protocol - because they already would have reached its targets. Mayor Michael Bloomberg had commissioned the study to evaluate the city's progress in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions 30% by 2030. Cheers to real leadership.

      The New Yorker Video Cartoons
      The New Yorker Video CartoonsWe remember the relief we felt when The New Yorker first came online. This past month, the magazine launched a major redesign and thrilled us all over again. Among the fresh offerings now sparkling at newyorker.com, the animated versions of their classic cartoons are surely the most unexpected. We'd love to know what went down in the periodical's conference room when they hashed out this concept. In some ways, it's as nonsensical as animating the Mona Lisa. Why change what's already perfect? On the other hand, we recently found ourselves forwarding more than a few of the 10-second videos. Many of our long-time favorites are here: the dogs surfing the Internet, the mouse unthinkingly playing with the cat, the snail besotted with the tape dispenser. It's curious, and a little odd, to watch them move and hear them speak. For no other reason than that, they're worth checking out. Who knows, maybe we'll end up considering them genius. www.best-fun-games.c

      Becoming-a-New-Yorker Theory
      I have a new friend named Sera, who shared with me tonight her theory on people who move to New York. Sera is a transplant from Vermont, whose love affair with New York City is four years strong and works as an assistant for a small, but revolutionary company that has been working with our digital division for months. Phone and AOL instant messenger communication between us has been so extensive that we finally decided that we should actually meet.Even if technology-assisted interaction has led you to believe that you might click with someone in person, there's still always that apprehension when you actually decide to meet. Fortunately Sera was almost exactly what I expected from what I knew via her phone and IM personality. I liked her immediately on all fronts. She is so cool that we hung out longer than I expected and was late getting home to catch Terrence's first IBL game on Internet radio (7pm PST/10pm EST).Side thought: That is one thing that I don't like about living in New

      The New Yorker Review
      The New Yorker review is here, and they loved Ms Ehle! Herzen and his wife, his first cousin Natalie (Jennifer Ehle, appropriately luscious and self-regarding here), hope for better medical attention for their child abroad, but they cannot move to Europe without government approval. Alexander and Varvara's eldest daughter, Liubov (Jennifer Ehle, who is stupendous in the role), on the other hand, is intelligent, a reader and a writer, the soft counterpart to her brother's brashness and blind pronouncements. Excuse the french, but Slack Bastard has written a critique of the New Yorker article that was earlier published, if you're interested. You have to watch the french in that too. Livejournal-er, Uberspock, loved CoU.

      Weekend Reading: Cooked Books from The New Yorker
      The lengthy descriptions of cooking that we find in modern literature are a way of artfully representing, rather than actually reproducing, our mental life—a modelled illusion, rather than a snapshot of the thing. Cooking, consciousness, McEwan, Proust, and Grass. From a back issue of The New Yorker, here's a good essay ...
