    Radiation Chart � xkcd

    Radiation Chart

    There’s a lot of discussion of radiation from the Fukushima plants, along with comparisons to Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Radiation levels are often described as “ times the normal level” or “% over the legal limit,” which can be pretty confusing.

    Ellen, a friend of mine who’s a student at Reed and Senior Reactor Operator at the Reed Research Reactor, has been spending the last few days answering questions about radiation dosage virtually nonstop (I’ve actually seen her interrupt them with “brb, reactor”). She suggested a chart might help put different amounts of radiation into perspective, and so with her help, I put one together. She also made one of her own; it has fewer colors, but contains more information about what radiation exposure consists of and how it affects the body.

    I’m not an expert in radiation and I’m sure I’ve got a lot of mistakes in here, but there’s so much wild misinformation out there that I figured a broad comparison of different types of dosages might be good anyway. I don’t include too much about the Fukushima reactor because the situation seems to be changing by the hour, but I hope the chart provides some helpful context.

    DOs & DON'Ts - Vice Magazine

    DOs & DON'Ts - Vice Magazine:
    This guy was in a band in college. They played local gigs. The guitarist quit and went to law school. They broke up. He now works at an insurance company. He compensates for the dead dream by getting uncomfortably drunk and raging way too hard in low-key situations.

    pipwerks Is SCORM Dead?

    pipwerks Is SCORM Dead?:
    "I have a gut feeling that SCORM, as we know it, is being left behind. This isn’t a negative statement, though it could be construed that way. In my mind, it’s quite the opposite: the ADL (and others) appear to be very active and engaged with the learning technology community. I’ve never seen this level of activity. It’s just that what’s being worked on (in super-simple terms) is a modern tracking mechanism that really only has a cursory relationship to SCORM as we use it today."
