Unsung Heroes of Black History: Panthro
“And despite the fact that Panthro, a black man of exceptional scientific expertise that far exceeds that of even the famed George Washington Carver, built the Thundertank with simple junk parts, the rest of the Thundereans made Panthro be the DRIVER OF THE FUCKING THUNDERTANK! They made him a fucking chauffeur! What kind of shit is that? Where else in history do you see this kind of hypocrisy? Did you ever see Lee Iacocca drive Chrysler car plant workers around? Does Wolfgang Puck ever bus tables? Did either one of those contemptible George Bushes ever offer to even so much as light a White House page’s cigarette? How many times must black men be the “Hokes” to countless Miss Daisies?”
HA Diplo + crew are pretty funny.

Five to ten years from now, you could have a $3000 fuel cell power generator the size of a clock radio in your basement, turning natural gas into electrical power at twice the efficiency possible today. That’s the promise of the Bloom Box, a tiny power plant that combines oxygen and natural gas, biogas, or solar energy, and creates electricity.

The original art work was completed for RCA by an artist named Brooks on August 23, 1938. The master art was improbably discovered in a dumpster by a wrecking crew worker as the old RCA factory in Harrison, NJ was being demolished in 1970.

Research Instruction at the Point of Need «
Introduction
“In this essay, we (Tom, a composition instructor at a large state university, and Glenda, a librarian at a large community college) describe our collaboration in the teaching of an online, research-based advanced composition class offered by the state university where Tom teaches. We describe why, in addition to using the instructional media provided by libraries to help students navigate fee-based subscription databases (also called restricted sources), we develop our own instructional media in hopes of shifting the research practices of our students. We have found that most tutorials are either too general to be effective given the specificity of a particular assignment or simply not used at the point of need. By “point of need,” we mean that moment in a student’s research process when she actually needs access to a certain kind of information. The tutorials that we describe in this article are designed to guide students to information sources that they need to complete the assignment they are working on. The focused nature of these tutorials stands in sharp contrast to generic tours and tutorials.”

Travel tips
It’s been a while since I did any regular travel and I’ve forgotten a lot. I figured these notes may help somebody out there. The goal for air travel is to get in and out of the airport as quickly as possible.
