Chris Burnell (chrisburnell.com)For a few months now I have been following in the footsteps of Jeremy Keith and displaying sparklines representing my activity over time with different post types. As an added bonus, a little tune based on the sparkline’s values plays when you click on the sparkline. With a moderate amount of musical theory under my belt, here’s how I accomplished that audio delight.
Directed by Michael John Warren. The Eleven Madison Square Park restaurant is the number one ranked restaurant in the world. Following audacious renovation plans the staff work to maintain the level of quality the world has come to expect.
While this one paints perhaps an overly rosy picture, it’s interesting to see some of the work behind pushing a major restaurant into existence. I might have liked to have seen 7 weeks out to have a better view of what was going on here too.

An exercise I gave my students helps illustrate the risks to privacy in our everyday, offline lives.

As a species, human beings are barely more intelligent than kindergarten kids. We revel at our place at the top of the food chain, and praise our technological ingenuity but, let’s face it, we’ve barely begun to work life out.

ad-hoc sessions is the idea (which needs a better name) that we host single topic sessions every month or two online that the community can gather around and discuss.
It also may be worthwhile to do some regular WordPress set up sessions on a monthly basis the way we often do at camps.
Very entertaining so far. I can feel the poignancy building. Can’t wait for the pay off.
I think Amazon had a review that said if you’re a fan of Louis Sachar, you’ll love this book by Gordon Korman. I think that Korman has been writing great stuff for so long that it’s really more appropriate to say that if you love Gordon Korman, you’ll probably like a lot of Louis Sachar.
Like all Korman’s books, this one has a lot of heart. It wasn’t quite as laugh out loud funny as some of his other efforts, but it’s definitely got some great humor.
Typically I don’t like narratives that are told from multiple viewpoints, but Korman manages to pull it off incredibly well by starting each chapter with a title that uses an “Un-word” followed by the narrator and their IQ score. As a result we also get a much more nuanced picture of all of the characters which are incredibly well done.
As one of the “smart” kids growing up, I wish this book had been around to have read then, but it’s still great now and everyone is sure to appreciate it. While the protagonist is a boy, I really appreciated that there was lots of great female representation here.
Are there examples of originally widely accepted proofs that were later discovered to be wrong by attempting to formalize them using a proof assistant (e.g. Coq, Agda, Lean, Isabelle, HOL, Metamath,
Directed by Thomas Schlamme. With Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Lev Gorn, Annet Mahendru. Philip faces a moral dilemma while developing an asset. Philip and Elizabeth's friction escalates. Stan develops a theory with serious reprecussions for national security. Paige makes a surprising birthday wish.
Wesley Morris joins us to talk about “Green Book,” the latest Oscar winner to focus on a white character’s moral journey in an interracial friendship.
This may be one of the best podcast episodes I’ve heard in two months. I highly recommend it.
