  1. CUTE IN JAPAN

    From 5 July 2008:

    T-shirts featuring cartoon characters with huge sparkling eyes, pastel coloured plush animals adorning mobile phones and even cars with a Hello Kitty motif—’cute’ is no longer confined to products for children; it’s an aesthetic popular with all ages.

    The home of this cute style is Japan, although design that is ‘kawaii’, as it is called in Japanese, is increasingly embraced in the west as cool.

    What’s behind this growing fascination with ‘cute’? And why is cute design considered quintessentially Japanese?

    Masako Fukui attempts to solve the puzzle for By Design.

    Guests:

    Rebecca Suter Lecturer in Japanese Studies, The University of Sydney

    Roland Kelts Author of Japanamerica, How Japanese Pop Culture has Invaded the US

    Sonja Barry Department manager, English Books, at Kinokuniya Bookstore, Sydney

    Masako Fukui Freelance radio documentary maker

  6. Science Friday: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

    "Medical researchers often use cells known as HeLa cells in their work. The ‘immortal cells’ are used to study cancer, aging, AIDS, and more. The name HeLa is a shortening of the name Henrietta Lacks — a woman whose cervical cancer cells were used to create this research cell line, without her knowledge or permission. In this segment, Ira talks with author Rebecca Skloot about ‘The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,’ a tale of biology and medical ethics."

    From http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/201002125

    This is an interesting coincidental accompaniment to a RadioLab segment (will add next) about ‘cell immortality’ of a cluster of cells (scientifically known as WI38) derived from a single woman’s aborted child. Those cells now live in over a billion people though the majority of vaccines given over the last 50 years.

  7. The Connection: Web Logging

    Brad Graham, Rebecca Blood and Evan Williams discuss this new-fangled blogging thing on May 18, 2000. Hosted by Christopher Lydon.

    "To be, virtually, is to blog. Blogging, or making a web log, is tracking your own web journey click by click. A web log at its most basic is a mere collection of links, a massive list of virtual cool sites you’ve seen — a story about a gang of drag queen purse snatchers, interviews with physicist Freeman Dyson, a site full of techie horror tales. But most blogs are a lot more — a personal journal or a new journalism, a publishing house where everyman or woman can rant, share or divulge. Blogs are a daily snapshot of the ever-changing web; they may be the new literature. Like the first museums, the web log is an e-cabinet of wonders, a quirky, human attempt to filter a new mass of information — this time online. On a blog you get E-text of Gogol’s The Overcoat, news of a Japanese foot cult and fun facts about potatoes. So, dump the old website, with its pet photos and family updates. We’re Blogging in this hour of The Connection."
