The dying of the light - Roger Ebert's Journal

The dying of the light - Roger Ebert's Journal: "one seasoned director called the projection in the 90-year old Virginia Theater in Urbana-Champaign 'the best I've ever seen.' That's because we use two of the best projectionists in the nation, James Bond, who consults on high-level projection facilities, and Steve Kraus, of Chicago's Lake Street Screening Room."
TIL: James Bond is one of the best projectionists in the nation.

Stemming the tide of careless science reporting, one post at a time

Stemming the tide of careless science reporting, one post at a time: "Next up was a claim that the dramatic decline in the world's bee population was a result of mobile phones, which appeared on a site that really ought to have known better. Following the link trail on this one is like a science writer's version of Dante's Inferno, with each click taking the reader to a new and more terrible circle of hell."
Favorite sentence of the day.
