The New Neo Posted on July 17, 2009 by neoJuly 17, 2009

…for another rara avis. [NOTE: Yes, I know there’s sometimes a way to make these things smaller to fit on the blog properly. But for this particular video, the method didn’t work (sigh).]

The New Neo Posted on May 25, 2009 by neoJuly 9, 2009

The city is too much with us

The New Neo Posted on January 8, 2009 by neoJuly 9, 2009

This article mentions that the world has passed an important milestone: more than half its population lives in cities. That means that city life is having a greater and greater effect on our culture, bodies, and psyches. So there’s reason … Continue reading →

Harry Harlow and his monkeys: being cruel in order to be kind?

The New Neo Posted on May 9, 2008 by neoJuly 9, 2009

The New Neo Posted on September 23, 2006 by neoJuly 9, 2009

The sky of 9/11

The New Neo Posted on September 13, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

On this past Monday, the fifth anniversary of 9/11, I noticed the sky was clear and blue. But the blue was an ordinary blue, nothing like the intense clarity of the sky five years ago. It’s one of the things … Continue reading →
