“It’s a short jump from numbers to stories”
Kate Lutz(Yesterday)
Fire HosesLive online services,like Digg and Twitter
“The obvious sticking point … seems to be about new media and old. No one is surprised at frantic cell phone calls in a hospital waiting
room, but apparently button mashing on a cellphone to alert friends via text to twitter
is a surprise, simply because it is new.”
—Matt Haughey, http://sta.mn/4h
“Weird Poetry”“Right this second as I type this—ask in
60 seconds and it will have changed—there is a box that says, in words of decreasing size, “Curling pants Norwegian Olympic Olympics
team.” We’re not the only ones who are fascinated by those pants, to say the least.”
—Linda Holmes, NPR, http://sta.mn/b8
Slow LeaksOfficial sources, the U.S. Census, USGS,
Local government crime data
“We have a Beat1X NCPC meeting next week—I'll be able to show up more

current statistics to share with us.”
Bending TimeForthcoming work on global
