One of the nice things about the Internet is coming across some topic or
concept you've never heard of before and learning something new. And one of
the bad things about the Internet is coming across some topic or concept
you've never heard of before and wishing you hadn't.
I'm reading jwz's Live Journal where he
points to a picture of a fistulated cow
(WARNING! RATHER DISTURBING PICTURE! Don't say I didn't warn you!).
“A fistulated cow?” I hear you asking.
Yes, a fistulated cow. It's a technique to study the cow's
digestive system that's been in use for over 150 years, and it's
something that quite frankly, I could have lived the rest of my life not
knowing about.
Yes, I'm a bit squeemish about such things.
Then again, I'm a suburban weenie and probably wouldn't last ten minutes
on a farm.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
