Airbot

Carnegie Mellon is working on a robot that measures air quality. Supposed to be a low cost beast you can keep around the home. Here are the details: http://www.emirates247.com/business/technology/dh364-robot-helps-you-breathe-clean-2012-11-03-1.481413. I imagine we should put it out on Bruckner Blvd in the Bronx and watch it freak out.Wonder what its toxics alarm sounds like?

Quotes by William Bryant Logan (?)

“Patience is the mother of joy. It is through patience that we can endure each others company long enough to fall in love, through patience that we can cooperate in a task, through patience that we can go from abysmally bad to almost all right, through patience that we can restrain ourselves from wasting our lives in anger and disappointment. The patient person waits, listens, expects, hopes, nurtures, cares, remembers, speaks, trusts, and is courteous. The impatient person demands, gets angry, hurries, presumes, is careless, despairs, forgets, complains, distrusts, disrupts.”

“This is the contrary of the Darwin that we mainly receive from the Darwinists. The survival of the fittest is supposed to represent the conflict of sovereign individuals, among which the strongest wins and so gets to go on to the next round of the conflict. But in Darwin's day--at least when he was writing 'The Voyage of the Beagle'--'fittest' did not mean strongest. It meant the one that fit best into the network of mutual need”

“We spend our lives hurrying away from the real, as though it were deadly to us. 'It must be up there somewhere on the horizon,' we think. And all the time it is in the soil, right beneath our feet.”
