Elseposts 
 Over at IT Garage: DIDW retrospectives, IT survey-takers declare independence, Xen and the art of Coexistence, Bazaar development: DIYparts.org.
 
Picture these 
 Just uploaded another pile of pix to Flickr.
 Included are some faves of Denise Howell, Ev Williams, Robert Scoble, Akma, Nick Denton, Wes Felter, Inma Martinez, Phil Windley, Steve Gillmor, Aaron Swartz, the Hammersly Family, Lake Powell, a pile of killer sunrises starting here, and Shoreline Grill — our favorite beachside restaurant in Santa Barbara.
 I'd tag the pix, but I get a "Tag not added! Invalid API Key (Key has expired)" JavaScript error message. And I'm flying to New York shortly, so dealing with that issue will have to wait.
 
What it isn't 
 Julian Bond comments,
 It seems to me that IQ tests, streaming in schools and national propaganda are all aimed at the same thing and for very much the same reasons. They are simplistic techniques for telling us what to think. And they get used because it's a great deal easier than teaching us how to think.
 Unrelated: This test finds me boring. (I get "low" across the board.)
 
Ingredients for a thought recipe 
 I don't have time to go into it, but I do have time to point to The Pancake People, or The Gods are Pounding in my Head, by Richard Foreman vs. The Gödel-to-Google Net, by George Dyson, at Edge.
 Huge sum of good thought food in there.
 
Look up, Down Under 
 Aurora POES
 Says here the current Aurora Activity Level is 10 (out of 10), which means there should be a helluva light show going on right now, not only in Antactica but over the South Island of New Zeeland and up to the Southern reaches of Australia.
 Any reports? PIctures? Bear in mind that aurora are often curtains of light up to a thousand miles high, meaning they're visible much farther North than one might think.
 According to that same page, Seattle and Vancouver should be getting a show as well, although I'm guessing it's already dawn there.
