Requisite disclaimers: Princeton doesn't actually fund the lab, its science is reasonably criticized as irrelevant due to difficulty in reproducing the results, and the article's from Wired. But still, this is pretty interesting. Via BoingBoing.

Next week I get to spend two days in lovely Bethlehem, Pa, for work (we'll be setting out around 4:30 on Monday). Anybody have any suggestions for how to best use my time there? Besides what I'll actually end up doing, I mean (surfing the internet in my hotel room).

Fun facts:

• Bethlehem is known as "The Christmas City"
• It has two websites
• That is all

1. i had a weird dream last night.

2. in the weird dream, i had already packed up and moved to chicago to attend northwestern.

3. except northwestern was really hogwarts.

4. and my first assignment was to kill a magical snake.

either i need to stop thinking about harry potter, or studying new media is going to be a lot more exciting than i anticipated.
