Parenting Language
60% of the variance in vocabulary and IQ scores at age 3, and IQ scores at age 9, were accounted for by variables derived from the parent language experience provided in the first 3 years. Race and SES did not predict accomplishment within each group.
Damien Hirst
Placed outside of the White Cube Gallery Masons yard at 3:30 in response to the Damien Hirst’s “For The Love of God” diamond skull exhibition.
fucking with damien hirst has to be one of the most meta fucks of all time.
a life-size platinum skull set with 8601 high-quality diamonds. If, as expected, it sells for around $100m this month, it will become the single most expensive piece of contemporary art ever created. Or the most outrageous piece of bling.

More than 180 people work for him, creating Damien Hirsts. 2 specialists oversee the formaldehyde unit, which on a visit in July contained 4 dead ponies, a wild boar, an upended cow and, in good “Godfather” style, a horse’s head in a plastic bag.
KML in Flickr
Will we have a KML feed that loads photos based on the viewport? Probably. It’s no coincidence that our flickr.photos.search API takes a bbox parameter for searches while Google Earth automatically added a bbox parameter to urls it loads with a NetworkLink. The intention (well mine anyway) from the start has always been that you should be able to point Google Earth directly at Flickr’s API and just let them get on with it.
flickr does kml output. a good start. now if yahoo maps started using kml. kudos to flickr for adding the KML link officially. now they only need to efficiently serve more than 20 photos 🙂
