Mike Shatzkin on the new repackaging of Non-Fiction by Linda Holliday's Semi Linear Citia service/app. Her objective is nothing less than to reinvent what I call “high-concept non-fiction”: books of ideas where the concepts are more important than the author’s prose... a kind of 21st century Cliffs Notes on steroids.

AskPatents is a new Stack Exchange site launching today that allows anyone to participate in the Patent examination process. It’s a collaborative effort, supported by Stack Exchange, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and the Google Patent Search team... Ask Patents is a collaborative effort, neatly tagged by keywords and classification, and searchable by patent application number. It is inspired by a research project called Peer To Patent, run out of New York Law School. That pilot project, created by Professor Beth Noveck, proved very successful at identifying Prior Art that the USPTO wouldn’t otherwise have known about.

Some American consumers believe Sri Racha (properly pronounced SIR-rotch-ah) to be a Thai sauce. Others think it is Vietnamese. The truth is that sriracha, as manufactured by Huy Fong Foods, may be best understood as an American sauce, a polyglot puree with roots in different places and peoples. It's become a sleeve trick for chefs like Jean-Georges Vongerichten. At the restaurant Perry St., in New York City, Mr. Vongerichten's rice-cracker-crusted tuna with citrus sauce has always relied on the sweet, garlicky heat of sriracha. More recently, he has honed additional uses. "The other night, I used some of the green-cap stuff with asparagus," Mr. Vongerichten said. "It's well balanced, perfect in a hollandaise."... Sriracha is a key ingredient in Street Vendor food: The two Kogi Korean trucks that travel the streets of Los Angeles, vending kimchi-garnished tacos to the young, hip and hungry, provide customers with just one condiment, Huy Fong sriracha. Recently, Huy Fong's sriracha found its place in the Suburb-s. Applebee's has begun serving fried shrimp with a mix of mayonnaise and Huy Fong sriracha. (Eating) (more)

Amanda Palmer launched a new KickStarter campaign yesterday to raise $100K to support the new album she just finished recording: since i'm now without a giant label to front the gazillions of dollars that it always takes to manufacture and promote a record this big, i'm coming to you to gather funds so that i have the capital to put it out with a huge fucking bang. i think kickstarter and other crowdfunding platforms like this are the BEST way to put out music right now - no label, no rules, no fuss, no muss. just us, the music, and the art. i'm also making sure EVERY PRODUCT sold through this kickstarter is unique to this campaign, to reward all of you who KNEW ME WHEN and were willing to support me from Day One.

The grid can be in any finite number of dimensions. Time is also discrete, and the state of a cell at time t is a function of the state of a finite number of cells called the neighborhood at time t-1. These neighbors are a selection of cells relative to some specified, and does not change (Though the cell itself may be in its neighborhood, it is not usually considered a neighbor). Every cell has the same rule for updating, based on the values in this neighbourhood. Each time the rules are applied to the whole grid a new generation is produced. (more)
