@Kenny Chaffin Let me tell you, though. Nothing can match the glee of letting your five year-old self loose, and making a big mess in order to create a painting!

All I'm asking is: what is Santa up to in your part of the world?

@Michael Keukert I suspect his show was something like the work of Shari Lewis. Her puppet Lambchops was most famous, but she also had a puppet character called Charlie Horse.

Haha! Eskimo Callboy, they are now called Electric Callboy, a funny band

Africa is bigger than China, the US, Eastern Europe & India combined.

Since Earth is a sphere, flat maps dramatically distort the size of continents.

*EVERY* map projection is a compromise.

The usual Mercator is angle-true, thus great for navigating with clock and sextant. It was never intended to be area-true.

Other map projections are true to distances, xor true to form, xor true to area - or a compromise with other constraints.

e.g. radio operators use radial projections centered on their place - great for rotating a directional antenna, useless for pretty much anything else.

Choose your map for your purpose.

Phage & Bacteria: A Space for Mutual Co-Existence
by Roberto โ€” Phage-bacteria population dynamics can be remarkably complex. This is reflected in the natural history of both; new phage defense systems in bacteria and anti-defense systems in phage seem to be discovered daily. Behind these intricate strategies to help in the reproductive success of each lies the basic problem of any predator-prey relationship.

I was young, maybe 12 years old. My dad had a computer for work, and internet was just being rolled out to most people in rural Ireland.

I copied some HTML source code from some other site and started tinkering with it, and made a website about music. I got frustrated when I couldn't figure out how to get it online. It was basic HTML and I had no idea how to put in images or anything like that.

I remember feeling like I was doing something that could get me in trouble.

I can't remember if I followed any guide. I don't think I did.

I had taken some books out from the library about making websites, but I found them very confusing and think I just somehow figured it out on the computer.

In those days, there never seemed any limit to what I could do with a computer if I just kept mucking about. These days I think I rely too much on online forums or guides, although that also speeds things up a lot.



'โ€œIโ€™m not an artist; I canโ€™t draw anything else,โ€ she said in a recent interview with Quanta. It was โ€œa lot of draw and erase, draw and erase, draw and erase.โ€ After a year of trial and error, she homed in on elegant sheets and looping ribbons to represent atomic structures. These drawings, which first appeared in the journal Advances in Protein Chemistry in 1981, became known as ribbon diagrams.'

Oops! I misspelled that from imagining it being named after the need to have citrus fruits on old wooden sailing ships, in order to keep scurvy at bay. Nope, named after the navel like indentation on the bottom!
So: "Navel Gazing" it is!
