    A brilliant counter-protest sign on the campus of Syracuse University. The creator Chris Pesto writes: I noticed two adults on campus holding signs that said “Homosexuality is a sin”. First, I would just like to say that I support people with their own opinions. I think that everyone is entitled to their right to think what they want. However, when someone comes on my campus, where I pay tuition to live, I don’t think it’s appropriate to rub such a hateful sign in someone’s face. I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would…

    Time travel is always fun, and Google Earth now makes it easy to do. The newest version includes a button that allows users to to view historical imagery to see how a place has changed through the decades. I tried it out with San Francisco, where Google Earth offers views of the city dating back to 1946. Sometimes the changes are subtle, but at other times they are very stark. The image at top, for example, shows SOMA and the original Bay Bridge approach on Fifth Street. Notice all the ships tied up at San Francisco’s then-active wharves. Here’s the site of the former Seals…

    Photo by Katie Sokoler The 9th Annual No Pants Subway Ride went off without a hitch today in New York. It’s tough to count, but we’re guessing we had around 3,000 participants. Riders met at meeting points spread out all over the city and converged on Union Square. The high was 28 degrees. There were also No Pants rides in 43 other cities around the world in 16 countries!

  • Coming full circle with the 75th anniversary edition of Monopoly

    John Lampard
    8 Feb 2010 | 5:29 pm
    With ATMs, debit cards, and a circular, rather than square playing board, the 75th anniversary, or “Revolution Edition” of classic board game Monopoly, is certainly moving with the times: “Monopoly: Revolution Edition” is slick and round instead of dull and square, with debit cards and an ATM instead of paper money and a banker, clear plastic representations of the classic tokens (bye-bye, little boot!), and clips of popular songs (like Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day,” and Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love”)…

  • You may not have to wait 100 years to surf the 100 year wave

    John Lampard
    8 Feb 2010 | 4:57 pm
    While 100 year waves – at up to 14 metres in height – may not be what many seafarers wish to encounter, their now greater frequency could be just the news some surfers are waiting to hear. Now measurements from a deep-water buoy moored off the Oregon coast since the mid-1970s indicate that the “100-year” waves – the monster waves with a 1 per cent chance of occurring in any given year – could be 40 per cent larger than previous estimates, at 14 metres high.

  • Generation X slow in taking an interest in classical music

    John Lampard
    8 Feb 2010 | 4:34 pm
    Even if we weren’t the least bit interested when younger, it seems we generally take to classical music as we get older. That’s certainly been the trend up until now, or until Generation X – those born between 1961 and 1981 – came along. Recent research shows that Gen Xers are yet to “participate” in classical music, despite the fact many are now middle-aged, and this is a concerning trend for classical composers. In the meantime, classical musicians essentially need to be in the business of adult education if they are to keep their audience and their…

  • Not just reading books, but also reducing stress

    John Lampard
    8 Feb 2010 | 3:30 pm
    Reading books seems to be more effective than listening to music, or walking, when it comes to reducing stress. Reading worked best, reducing stress levels by 68 per cent, said cognitive neuropsychologist Dr David Lewis. Subjects only needed to read, silently, for six minutes to slow down the heart rate and ease tension in the muscles, he found. In fact it got subjects to stress levels lower than before they started.

    So we're watching nox again for a few days while his adoptive parents are out of town and last night, that dog would not calm down. He spent 20 minutes howling in his crate and when I finally got tired of it and put him in bed with me (I'm such a bad parent), he would not stop wiggling and moving around. At one point I started seriously wondering what the puppy dosage for benadryl was. God help

In either case, the day is all about celebrating the light returning in lengthening days with hearth fires and candles and
