Children's drawings -> real-people photographs:

What a fantastic thing to do… Korean artist Yeondoo Jung photographs people in scenes posed to match specific drawings by children.

brownie roll-out cookies | smitten kitchen:

When I have a kitchen, I will also make these, and then make ice-cream sandwiches with them. And famous internet people will come to my house to eat them and hang out.

“Comfort, Comfort” by Valerie Shields, performed by...

“Comfort, Comfort” by Valerie Shields, performed by the Northwest Girlchoir, 12/1/99.

I’m working on a paper about Handel’s use of Hebrew Bible texts in the libretto for The Messiah. I’m particularly focused on Isaiah 40 (or I will be when I actually get it together to work on this seriously). Reading that chapter reminded me of another choral setting of this text, one that my children’s choir premiered when I was 13. I really like this piece, and I still listen to it often.

Jason Cherniak is not a Facebook spammer

Jason Cherniak is not a Facebook spammer:

Discussion of the facebook “social worm” that recently made it to the Harvard network. My roommate’s account recently barfed up some of this spam. This is interesting because she has very few third-party apps installed. She only has “What I’m Listening To” and “iLike”. Which makes me wonder if this might not be a more serious facebook vulnerability.

i’m Initiative donates $1.3M in its first year:

Last summer, I had a great chat with one of the PMs on this about how they got the go-ahead to do this. Personally, I’m always skeptical of stuff like this (product(red), for instance), but still, 1.3M is a great start. I’m glad to see Microsoft sticking with the project and looking to expand it into other markets - especially because some of them can’t wait to get involved.

Altruism

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:47:57 -0400

What if we got outside ourselves and there
really was an outside out there, not just
our insides turned inside out? What if there
really were a you beyond me, not just
the waves off my own fire, like those waves off
the backyard grill you can see the next yard through,
though not well—just enough to know that off
to the right belongs to someone else, not you.

What if, when we said I love you, there were
a you to love as there is a yard beyond
to walk past the grill and get to? To endure
the endless walk through the self, knowing through a bond
that has no basis (for ourselves are all we know)
is altruism: not giving, but coming to know
someone is there through the wavy vision
of the self’s heat, love become a decision.
