the approval matrix test
anyone who reads ny magazine knows that the approval matrix is an excellent indicator of how in-the-loop one is. each week, they place a selection of water-cooler-esque topics along a matrix according to the subject's taste-level and cultural significance. when i received my issue this week, i was pleasantly surprised to see that this blog had covered a number of approval matrix topics, mostly on the 'brillant' side.
earth hour, part two

robin hood may have been a jerk
A Scottish expert has uncovered a medieval document suggesting negative attitudes towards Robin Hood.
The story of how Robin and his men stole from the rich to give to the poor has long been part of English folklore.
However, Julian Luxford of St Andrews University found a dissenting voice in a Latin inscription from about 1460 in a manuscript owned by Eton College. (bbc news)

earth hour
Saturday would be a great time to be an astronaut with a window seat in a rocket ship circling the earth.
That way you’d be able to watch as the lights go out in more than 2,000 cities around the world during Earth Hour, a coordinated event that aims to draw attention to climate change and global warming.
Lights are scheduled to go out at hundreds of popular tourist landmarks and buildings worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Dubai, Hong Kong, Moscow and Nairobi. (msnbc)
nErD aLeRt!
LONDON — It’s odd to think that the Modernist architect Le Corbusier has had a bigger influence on housing in Britain than in any other European country.Odd because he never designed a building here, and also because so many Britons have long held him in particular contempt. Since the 1970s he has been about as popular around here as the French national soccer team, and more than a few concrete, Corbu-style projects, large numbers of which were constructed after the war to ease a convalescing nation’s housing shortage, have since been torn down or fallen into disrepair.
But as Peter Rees, a longtime city planning officer in London, put it recently, about the whole range of such projects, “They were either blown up, or they’re now loved.” (nytimes)
