A blind gentleman, complete with white cane, asked me for directions just now. Of course, I pointed in the direction he should go. Anything I can do to help.

Interesting observations about social media trends. Here’s the key quote:
“However, as everything becomes more social I believe there will be a boom in curation technologies that help us find the signal in the noise. These apps will help us spot trends from friends.”
Whopper Virgins. I don’t think it needs to be said that this short is an advertisment for Burger King. It also however is a very fascinating short documentary about exposing people who’ve never experienced western culture to the hamburger. It’s worth definitley worth a watch. It’s advertising that I don’t mind consuming at all. It’d be great to see ads get more creative like this in general.
Agreed. This is good stuff and fascinating to watch.

You know what I don’t understand? Almost every (office) printer now takes a full ream of paper. Why do people only put part of a ream in the printer and leave the rest for later?
I was trying to figure this out a week or two ago and now it’s come up again in a reference to Sacramento being a “top-20 media market”. Sacramento is the 26th largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) (see also CSAs and CBSAs). It’s also the 37th largest city in the US.
This “media market” or Designated Market Area (DMA), defined by Nielsen Media Research rather than the US Census Bureau, is yet another way to measure the Sacramento area’s influence. It’s defined as an area where everyone can receive common television and radio station programing. While it was once #18, it looks like it’s slipped to #20.
On how misanthropy and shyness became official disorders, with drugs to cure them:
‘Lane tells me the process, which was supposed to establish psychiatry as a solid science, was itself “highly unscientific.” The task force spun out one new disorder after another, sometimes “knocking out the list of symptoms in a matter of minutes… . Almost overnight, shyness and many other routine moods and ailments became bona fide disorders.” ‘
Interesting.
This is fascinating.
