Brooklyn Bridge Sounds

Tuesday, June 27, 2006

WFMU’s Beware of the Blog has a fantastic post today on the sounds made by bridges. Included is an mp3 of the Brooklyn Bridge recorded in 1982. Guaranteed to bring back memories for some people – the bridge no longer sounds the way it does in the recording due to the road being replaced.

Ringtone for the kids

Monday, June 12, 2006

As we get older, we lose our ability to perceive high-frequency sound. The New York Times has an article today about how this is being exploited using a high-frequency ringtone that young people can hear but adults cannot. Supposedly this comes in handy in the classroom. Nevertheless, if I could hear it, I might smack that phone out of the hands of the selfish little shit who’s taking calls in the classroom.

Fecal Transplant

Tuesday, May 30, 2006

Clostridium Difficile is without a question a nasty little pathogen that you don’t want to meet. It’s the leading cause of diarrhea in hospital patients and is transmitted through nasty little spores that can only be eradicated using bleach. But that’s not the least of it, as the cure for chronic symptoms is stomach-churningly gross.
