Seen On The ‘Net
The joys of just clicking around on sites:
BBC Washington correspondent Matt Frei talking about US media: Washington diary: Martians and celebs. It’s nice to know that other people share my opinion of the “feel good, short attention span” of the American media scene.
About those “ignorant towel heads” in the Middle East, the BBC has a report, Advanced geometry of Islamic art, that tells us: “Researchers in the US have found 15th Century examples that use the concept of quasicrystalline geometry.” If you are not familiar with “quasicrystalline geometry”, it’s probably because the West didn’t “discover” it until the end of the 20th Century.
