    Raw Thought: The Weblog of Aaron Swartz aaronsw.com/weblog 1 What’s Going On Here? May 15, 2005 Original link I’m adding this post not through blogging software, like I normally do, but by hand, right into the webpage. It feels odd. I’m doing this because a week or so ago my web server started making funny error messages and not working so well. The web server is in Chicago and I am in California so it took a day or two to get someone to check on it. The conclusion was the hard drive had been fried. When the weekend ended, we sent the disk to a disk repair place. They took a look at it and a couple days later said that they couldn’t do anything. The heads that normally read and write data on a hard drive by floating over the magnetized platter had crashed right into it. While the computer was giving us error messages it was also scratching away a hole in the platter. It got so thin that you could see through it. This was just in one spot on the disk, though, so we tried calling the famed Drive Savers to see if they could recover the rest. They seemed to think they wouldn’t have any better luck. (Please, plase, please, tell me if you know someplace to try.) I hadn’t backed the disk up for at least a year (in fairness, I was literally going to back it up when I found it giving off error messages) and the thought of the loss of all that data was crushing.

ABBEY LINCOLN: Thank you. SALLY PLAXSON: I thought we could start right from the beginning and just work our way through which is not terribly original, but I think it's the way we should do it. Let's start with Chicago, but I'd like to even look at something that we haven't talked about much before. Some of the prehistory of your family and background of your parents, and you were born in Chicago, but how far back can you trace the family history?

    McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science NORTHWESTERN ENGINEERING SPRING 2019 FEWER WIRES FOR PREMATURE BABIES. STRONGER BONDS FOR FAMILIES. ART ACNE Northwestern Engineering’s Oliver Cossairt uses a novel, hand-held tool that can easily and effortlessly map and monitor works of art, such as this Georgia O’Keeffe painting. Developed by a multidisciplinary team from Northwestern University and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the new tool enables researchers to carefully observe protrusions that appear in paintings to better understand what conditions make them grow, shrink, or erupt. Even O’Keeffe herself noticed the pin-sized blisters bubbling up on the surface of her paintings. For decades, conservationists and scholars assumed these tiny protrusions were grains of sand kicked up from the New Mexico desert where O’Keeffe lived and worked. But as the protrusions began to grow, spread, and eventually flake off, curiosity shifted to concern. Researchers have now diagnosed the strange art ailment: The micron-sized protrusions are metal soaps, the result of a chemical reaction between the metal ions and fatty acids commonly used as binder in paints. “If we can easily measure, characterize, and document these soap protrusions over and over again with little cost to the museum, then we can watch them as they develop,” says Cossairt, associate professor of computer science, who led the technology development. “That could help conservators diagnose the health and prescribe treatment possibilities for damaged works of art.” Photography by Annette Suleika Ortiz Miranda “In these stories and throughout Northwestern Engineering, the importance of teamwork is key to success.
