PBS has posted a full copy of The Botany of Desire, as well as extras, for your viewing pleasure. The documentary examines the human relationship with four plants, apples, tulips, cannabis and potatoes, that evolved to satisfy our desires.

Baseball infographics

Flip Flop Fly Ball features loads of baseball related infographics. The game is a statistician’s wetdream and accordingly, makes for some great visuals.

I'll avoid writing a message for every photo, but I posted my second #whiskerino photo this morning http://bit.ly/3DLiYH. I like it.

Whiskerino
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/skNRNxmJfCo/
This is the last year of Whiskerino, an exercise in camaraderie, manliness, photography and general beard growing. The last time it occurred, I was travelling without a razor, already rocking a massive beard, and was unable to compete. Basically, you start on November 1st, clean shaven and don’t touch your razor or any other trimming implements until February 28th, making a full 120 days of uninhibited beard growth. I will be uploading a daily photo to my profile on Whiskerino and occasionally to my flickr stream, if you feel like keeping track. I’m also planning on producing a book at the end of it, with each of the daily photos and a collage which may or may not be related to the day’s photo.

My lumberjack plaid just doesn't feel right (for Whiskerino). I'll avoid posting all my Whiskerino shots to Flickr, but you'll have to put up with a few.

Off to the gym, didn't go over the weekend. Was fighting off a cough that I picked up from teaching the wee children last week.

The beard is gone and a fresh haircut. Probably the first time my face has been completely naked in more than a decade (although I've been through goatees, chinstraps, etc). It feels weird.

Pre-Whiskerino Handlebar

Shaved off the beard to commence Whiskerino 2009. Thought I'd take a detour on the way for a handlebar moustache.
