Archie dances into the room, singing:
Archie: cooby cooby doo, where are you, we got some work to do now
Carter: it’s Scooby, Archie, SSSSSSCooby.
Archie: Cooby cooby doo
Carter: SSSSSS, Archie, say ‘SSSSS’
Archie: SSSSSS
Carter: now say cooby
Archie: Cooby.
Carter: SSSS
Archie: SSSS
Carter: Cooby
Archie: Cooby
Carter: (a la Electric Company) SSSSS. Cooby. SSSS. Cooby. SSS…cooby. SS…cooby. SCOOBY!
Archie: Cooby. (goes back to [...]
Speech Therapy, Carter style
The. Best. Alarm clock. Ever.
I’ve had cause to go out and explore what’s out on the Internet to a degree I haven’t since I was freelancing in the late 90s. Even school thus far has been mostly about finding papers than widgetry. While I wait for some large files to transfer in the background, I have a success story [...]
Honesty, Archie style
Archie toddles out of the kitchen.
“Me want chips.”
I look at his full plate, and respond with an offer of chips, could he please take another bite of lunch?
“Not me eat that.”
I ask him if it’s because of the blisters in his mouth (hand foot and mouth disease).
“Yes.”
I ask him if he’s just saying yes to [...]
Flight 68, departing for the rest of the world

After much financial consternation and red-tape, I’m **this** much closer to finding myself on another continent for the first time in my life. The WikiSym 2006 conference is unfortunately going to take me away from Ph.D. orientation week (well, most of it) and [...]
Mario Boxes
I was googling images of boxes for a website gig and came across this.
I don’t have time to investigate more (yet) but it seems the basic intent is to make use of public spaces for art. In this case, in the form of real-life versions of the question boxes found in the old Mario [...]
There are times when I feel I went the other way …
Thanks to Matt for the heads up on this story (I don’t watch Good Morning, America). It is a remarkable social experiment — turning a paperclip into a house through barter — and could probably be deemed a success just by evolving to a size that attracted the attention of a Hollywood actor.
I’ve had crazy [...]
Network project: Coaching Change Fallout
Ever since NetSci 2006 last May, I’ve been quietly looking in earnest for some way to apply network theories to sports informatics. There was a Texas Tech hoops fan who mapped out about a game’s worth of passing the basketball. That’s a study I think would be very illuminating if done for multiple seasons. Thanks [...]
