The Misfit

A new season of Deadwood premieres Sunday, March 6. Don't miss it. You can watch the streaming-video trailer here.

The Miami Herald had this to say about the first season, which has been released on DVD:

Expletives are used on the first season of Deadwood like a teenager, like, uses "like." If you can get past the language, the violence and the nudity, you'll find Deadwood goes a long way toward putting new life into the Old West.

Deadwood is not for the easily offended. For those who can handle it and have the initial patience, it's rewarding.

"In the Bubble" is about a world based less on stuff, and more on people.

In the Bubble

Mind and Hand traces the ideas about science and education that have shaped MIT and defined its mission -- from the new science of the Enlightenment era and the ideals of representative democracy spurred by the Industrial Revolution to new theories on the nature and role of higher education in nineteenth-century America. MIT emerged in mid-century as an experiment in scientific and technical education, with its origins in the tension between these old and new ideas.

If railroads were IBM mainframes, then cars were like Linux PCs.

Think of "Make" Magazine in the 1920s.

In the first decades of motor travel, between 1900 and 1940, Americans were buying automobiles in record numbers. Cars were becoming more easily affordable, not only for high-income families but for middle-class families as well. And as they bought, they redesigned. By examining the ways Americans creatively adapted their automobiles, Tinkering takes a fresh look at automotive design from the bottom up, as a process that included manufacturers, engineers, designers, advice experts, and consumers, from savvy buyers to grass-roots inventors.

With the automobile came the possibility of touring; travel was no longer constrained by railroad service or availability of hotels. Consumers became tinkerers and, occasionally, inventors as they outfitted their cars for travel and to meet middle-class standards of comfort and economy on the road. Franz weaves together a variety of popular sources, from serial fiction to corporate documents to explore how Americans not only embraced the automobile but became fascinated with ingenuity in the early twentieth century. Some canny drivers moved beyond modifying their individual cars to become inventors, patenting and selling automotive accessories for a burgeoning national market.

Tinkering documents how the inventive dexterity of consumers was both practical and creative, from the addition of steel fenders for safety to the development of attachments that would allow motorists to use their cars as tents. Earl S. Tupper, an early and eager automotive tinkerer, would go on to invent Tupperware. Women were also extremely active in this reinvention, as the automobile had revolutionized the daily life of the American housewife.

Kathleen Franz takes us under the hood of American prewar automobile culture to reveal a vibrant enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit.

Chatter : Dispatches from the Secret World of Global Eavesdropping

"There's just a basic misperception of the way the world works -- partly a holdover from the Cold War, partly because it's genuinely hard to defend America against transnational threats, but partly because they're at the moment addicted to this kind of hands-on Wilsonianism."

Much of this caricature can be debunked. Nonetheless, there remains reason to explore the nation's supposed political polarization, for not all of it is a fiction. Causes, consequences, and possible correctives need to be better understood.
