EagerEyes Shorts

Musings on visualization, photography, programming, etc. that are too long for Twitter but too short for (or don't fit) my visualization website, EagerEyes.org. Part of my vanity website, kosara.net, which is most notable for hosting my list of publications. If you still want to know more, see my university page at UNC Charlotte, and/or follow me on Twitter.

I’ve heard the expression drinking the Kool-Aid so many times and never knew what it meant. Interesting:

Drinking the Kool-Aid refers to theĀ Jonestown mass suicide usingĀ Kool-Aid laced with cyanide.

The Kool-Aid article also answers another question: what does Kool-Aid aid with? Turns out it’s just an alternate spelling of -ade (think lemonade), which had to be changed because it doesn’t contain fruit juice.

You live and learn.
