On a ricochet from Brian G’s post about Thesis/Genesis I clicked over here…and there in the list of recent posts was this.
I finished writing a memoir recently (not out yet) that involves a lot of nature imagery, especially plants and birds. The study cited above is one of the elements in my book, but this is the first time I have heard anyone else make note of it. I read the original study last year and haven’t stopped thinking of it since.
You WP guys! Recently I found a great design for a coldframe on Ryan Boren’s blog…so interesting to discover among the lead developers all these threads of things I know far more about than I do about code. 🙂
BTW, your talk at WCNYC (of which I was a co-sponsor) was great.
