“We have launched a new experimental feature on the SFO Museum Aviation Website: Coloring book pages (or sheets) for a subset of the objects in our collection. Coloring books are PDF files with a stylized, black and white outline of that object for you to print out and color as you see fit and can be thought of as a second attempt at producing a museum artifact that can follow you “out of the building”.” – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2023/12/18/coloringbook/
Local politics re who's not talking about Palestine
It's not that I expect most nonprofit arts orgs of NYC to be taking a stand for Palestine right now but feels gross seeing one that I am an alum of (Eyebeam) post fundraising slide shows talking about "art in times of crisis" in end of year fundraising w/o ever speaking to the crisis of genocide?

Got a new tattoo because this year has been a lot but I am still alive
It's based on a drawing of a quartz crystal I found in the National Archives when I was researching high purity quartz mining in Brazil during WWII

So I can finally tell you about one of the things I've been being SUPER impatient about:
If you're out in the world and happen to see a magazine with the words "Time," "Special Edition," "Artificial Intelligence," and "A New Age Of Possibilities" on the cover, you uhh… might wanna give pg. 28 a look 👀
GPU themed diss track that rhymes "Nvidia" and "chlamydia"
So this episode is also pretty weird to release now because an uptick in militia fighting in DRC has drawn media attention back to the issue of "conflict minerals"—I've seen campaigns where people are quitting vaping in solidarity w/people of the Congo? Which, IDK. I hope this deeper dive into the longer history of tantalum mining in DRC is helpful for ppl just now learning about it.
https://ripcorp.biz/episodes/2500-and-a-dream-fansteel-and-the-history-of-tantalum new RIP Corp and it is a doozy of an episode!! Tantalum, labor strikes, colonialism, war, a million things. I am nervous about it because there's so much packed in here and also it's based on some of my master's thesis research so it feels kind of precious to me.

Grateful that my friend Ethan and I stay in touch almost exclusively via sending each other pictures of vanity plates when we spot them on the street

Mathematics has many daughters. Nearly all are beautiful. Physics & Chemistry are dutiful and visit home often. Life science is always away on some exotic research trip, hardly has time to write. Three of the girls live at home: Statistics, Computer Science ... and The Other One.
Statistics spent some time in a sanitarium, no one talks about it. She's doing better now & dotes on her mother. Computer Science puts on a suit each day for her Big Important Job. But she still never moved out. 1/

OMFG KILL ME
this code which looks reasonable DOES NOT work because canPlayType DOES NOT return a boolean as one might expect but rather A STRING which is one of
- ""
- "maybe"
- "probably"
like were fucking FLIRTING or something
cant make this up: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement/canPlayType
please understand that every time I say "oh my god" I am doing an impression of H. Jon Benjamin on Bob's Burgers
