Beat Research Chicago begins

Marginalia

• No Contest: The Coolest Astronaut Photograph Ever
  Thanks, John Glenn.
• Time is running out - literally, says scientist
  Radical theory that somewhat elegantly (and chillingly) dispenses with dark energy by proposing that time is slowing down at the edges of the universe.
• Tornado On The Sun
  Way cooler than a hurricane on Jupiter.
• The Gendered LEGO Advertising Remixer
  Pretty easy way to demonstrate the crazy advertising bias at LEGO.
• Want to adopt a sidewalk? It’ll take some muscle and a snow shovel - Chicago Sun-Times
  Big shoulders are good for snow removal.
• MoMA | Kraftwerk – Retrospective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
  What a fantastic idea. This sounds like an amazing exhibit/series of performances.
• Because everyone loves a good demisemiseptcentennial bash ...
  175 Days to Love Chicago.
• Turnitin
  This would have been helpful when I taught composition in the mid-90's.
• Ghetto Hikes
  I cannot enumerate the ways in which this is wrong.
• Painting With Sound
  "The artist Martin Klimas begins with splatters of paint in fuchsia, teal and lime green, positioned on a scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. Then the volume is turned up."
