I wonder how it knows its me?

First light

like everyone else, just testing out what could well be the simplest
multimedia blog-hosting system yet invented, and if it works, maybe

this is the way to maintain an easy and timely web-logbook. I do like blogger.com but it annoys me with the jumping of hoops to put images into a simple post, the lack of any storage for sound or video. Does Posterous do any better?

The Strangest Species

Humans: "Humans are arguably the most bizarre creatures in the animal kingdom. The proof is in the many gross, unnecessary, contradictory and simply inexplicable things we do. And of course we're different in our capacity to ponder all these oddities and sometimes figure a few out."

Oddles and oodles of links on everything you ever wanted to know (and some that you didn't) on what our best research has found about being a you.

Greenback Dollar

How Lincoln Averted Financial Crisis: "legal-tender U.S. Notes or 'Greenbacks' represented receipts for labor and goods delivered to the United States. They were paid to soldiers and suppliers and were trade-able for goods and services of a value equivalent to their service to the community. The Greenbacks aided the Union not only in winning the war but in funding a period of unprecedented economic expansion. Lincoln's government created the greatest industrial giant the world had yet seen"

When I was a little baby, my momma said,
"Hey, son. Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy.
Sing what must be sung.

And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar,
spend it as fast as I can.
For a wailin' song and a good guitar,
the only things that I understand, poor boy,
the only things that I understand.
