This is a summary and response to Yang, G. (2005). “Environmental NGOs and institutional dynamics in China,” The China Quarterly, 181, 46-66.
This article was a great update on the sort of information I was collecting in 1999. The basic scene is this: China is a fairly repressive non-democratic society where protest and political organization […]

Last week I got a chance to see The Birthday Massacre over at the Middle East. Nothing like an industrial/electronica/goth band to bring a smile to my face. Envision lots of monochromatic clothing and black eyeliner, and you’ve pretty much got the crowd down pat. Only 2 corsets though, so I underestimated on that account.
Anyhow, […]

today i had to go fishing around for what i think are the prettiest mollusk images to update the department’s website… and i was so happy i remembered the Man O War Slug (Glaucus atlanticus) because it’s just so so so pretty.

I spent some time […]

This should all sound really simple, but i’ve managed to do not only cleaning, but re-organizing of my stashes of creative materials. This makes them easier to access, and also easier to put away.
Once this was accomplished, i made another critter from a scarf… it’s very cute and blue. I’ve also jumped back into a […]

While going through my living on earth podcasts, I finally got to John Edwards thoughts on climate change. It was interesting to notice only three candidates showed for this forum in California, all democrats, and only two of which are really talked about in the news at this point in the race (Clinton and Edwards).

Muscle fatigue is an interesting thing, because once you get to that point even willpower doesn’t work because the body just stops responding. I have had two occasions where this happened while bringing things to my house, one of which was last night. While I opened a few jars today at work, I’m trying to […]

Once upon a time there was an evilscientist article put out about making a bristlebot. Now, to improve on the theme, there is a snailbot. too cute!

Sleep Dealer is going to be an interesting flick which i heard about thanks to the folks over at io9. The plot synopsis sounds awesome, in my estimation. Helps that the director is a Hampshire alum.
