The Swarm
http://wisdomofthewest.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ swarm.html[This is a continuation of the series of blogposts on Swarms. Of course, what prompted this sequence was the set of posts on recent natural disasters beginning here and the initial sense of a unified outpouring of sympathy.] We've seen what it's like to be caught up in a disorienting swarm of other animals and wondered what force united these fish, insects, birds, bats, etc.

http://autodidactproject.org/ blog/ culture/ index.php/ 2008/ 05/ wireds-patent-…This is the big idea for our time! Honan, Mathew. “Concoct a Best-Seller With Wired’s Patent-Pending Big-Idea Book Generator,” Wired Magazine, Issue 15.10, 09.25.07. I discovered this brilliant article in January.

Lost and the computational island metaphor
http://uncivilsociety.org/ 2008/ 05/ lost-and-the-computational-isl.htmlLast Thursday night I posted a picture of the comic that appeared on the evening's episode of Lost.

Unfortunately, we all view history through the lens of our own upbringing. An ever-changing kaleidoscope of world events refracts the “truth” into a thousand prisms.

http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ tudors-and-printing-press.htmlSome wonderful, decisive moments in history have been brilliantly portrayed in the past few episodes of The Tudors on Showtime. I've currently seen 8 of the new season, thanks to Showtime On Demand. My single favorite moment, being the media historian that I am, was Thomas Cromwell's introduction -
