unSILOed with Greg LaBlanc471. Why It’s Time For Evolutionary Science to Evolve with David P. MindellThe long-held dominant narrative about evolution is that it works like a tree. But as science has advanced in the last century, the idea of a family tree might not tell the full story anymore. Evolutionary biologist David P. Mindell is a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley’s Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and the author of The Network of Life: A New View of Evolution which explores the concept of horizontal evolution alongside traditional Darwinian vertical evolution.Greg and David discuss the importance of creating an updated narrative for evolutionary biology, the intricate nature of hyb...2024-10-1448 min
All the Movies PodcastGoing Straight (Jun. 4, 1916)Between 1910 and 1915 Norma Talmadge was featured in over 100 short films for the Vitagraph Company, none of which I’ve had the chance to see. Yet, I recognize her name. Like so many stars of the silent film era, Talmadge endures as little more than a shadowy phantom of a bygone day, her name ringing a distant bell in the minds of film fans. We may have seen her name listed among other stars— Marguerite Clark, Theda Bara, Pearl White— all of whom were massively famous in their day, but relegated to footnotes, if that, today, or perhaps on a classi...2024-10-0209 min

The Leadership Japan Series573 What Is “Enclothed Cognition” And Why Does It Matter To Leaders in Japan?I saw a video recently from Rampley and Co in the UK featuring Caryn Franklin, a Fashion and Identity Commentator, talking about something called “enclothed cognition”. When I saw her work title - Fashion and Identity Commentator - and the reference to psychology, I was dubious. I was thinking, “here we go, more psychobabble”. She referenced a psychology study by Hajo Adam and Adam Galinsky, published in the journal of Experimental Social Psychology in July 2012. They looked at the “diverse impact that clothes can have on the wearer by proposing that enclothed cognition involves the co-occurrence of two independent factors - the...2024-08-2111 min

All the Movies PodcastThe Fire (Apr. 7, 1916)Giovanni Pastrone’s ground-breaking epic Cabiria has been one of the best films I’ve watched so far as a part of this podcast, so I was looking forward to seeing another film that he directed. I had no idea what to expect from this film, as even its title, The Fire, is vague. A film with that title could be about nearly anything. As it turns out, this one is about an incendiary relationship between a poet and a painter.The original Italian title of the film is Il Fuoco (la Favilla - la Vampa - la C...2023-11-2806 min

All the Movies PodcastThe Golden Chance (Dec. 30, 1915)This is the second film directed by Cecil B. DeMille that I’ve watched, and I’m even more impressed this time around. More so than even D.W. Griffith, DeMille demonstrated an almost immediate intuitive grasp of the potential of film. When I first began compiling the list of films I’m working through I saw that DeMille’s second directorial effort was the first film version of Brewster’s Millions, and I was keen to see it. Unfortunately, that film has been lost, so I will only ever be able to wonder how Edward Abeles fared in the role o...2023-03-0812 min
All the Movies PodcastAfter Death (Dec. 29, 1915)This is one of the most unusual films I’ve watched to this point in the chronology. It’s a strange mix of dream sequences and fantasies, directed by Yevgeny Bauer. It’s a Russian film, and gave me a glimpse into what was happening cinematically outside the U.S. in 1915. It is definitely different than most of the American films I’ve watched. The only one so far that’s been similar is The Avenging Conscience, D.W. Griffith’s 1914 foray into the nascent horror genre. I’ve seen dream sequences in previous films, and some fantasy elemen...2023-03-0205 min

All the Movies PodcastChildren of Eve (Nov. 10, 1915)It’s easy to dismiss most of the directors not named D.W. Griffith who were making films in 1915, and for the most part it can be understandable if one does so, but there were a handful of directors doing more than churning out what today would be called “content” at that point in the history of film. Cecil B. DeMille is another big name who was finding his footing in 1915, along with Maurice Tourneur, Raoul Walsh, and Raymond West. Those are the Big Names whose films I came into this project excited to watch, and from whom I expect...2023-02-0508 min

My work has used the most influential brands of intelligent cameras, such as Cognex, Keyence, Banner, Omron, Matrox, Dalsa, and more.

All the Movies PodcastThe Avenging Conscience: or 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' (Aug. 2, 1914)This is the first horror film I’ve watched, and one of the first feature-length horror films ever made. It’s loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe’s story “The Tell-Tale Heart,” but with some other Poe references tossed in for good measure. Though slow to start, once the horror story elements kicked in, this became a very enjoyable movie. Before that, however, it was feeling like a big of a slog, and about 30 minutes into its 81-minute runtime I was starting to count the minutes.The story concerns a character only known as The Nephew, played by Henry B...2022-11-1606 min
All the Movies PodcastCabiria (Apr. 18, 1914)The Italians were clearly at the forefront of the motion picture industry in its early days. Until I watched this film, nothing I’d seen so far had come close to Dante’s Inferno, also an Italian film, but Cabiria blows that film out of the water. Released on April 18th, 1914, Cabiria is the first true epic film, and it paved the way for directors like D.W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille, both of whom almost immediately began creating epic films of their own. Griffith was working on a film when he saw Cabiria, which he scrapped and rest...2022-11-0409 min
All the Movies PodcastThe Musketeers of Pig Alley (Oct. 31, 1912)I’d seen this credited as the first gangster movie, so I had to check it out. While it isn’t as complex as later gangster movies would become, it certainly kicked the genre off with a bang. Elmer Booth shines as Snapper, leader of the Musketeers gang. He bears more than a passing resemblance to James Cagney, who would come to define the role of the gangster 20 years later. The similarity goes beyond the physical, as his mannerisms are much the same as those that Cagney, and another portrayer of gangsters on the big screen, Edward G. Robinson, woul...2022-10-0506 min
All the Movies PodcastThe Cameraman's Revenge (Oct. 27, 1912)Wladyslaw Starewicz is one of Russia’s earliest filmmakers, and someone I’d never heard of before sitting down to watch this film. I had no real expectations, and knew nothing about the film before pressing play, so I was shocked to find I was watching a puppet animation starring bugs! Had I known anything about Starewicz, I should have expected just that. Meet the beetles!The early part of his directorial career was spent creating puppet animation films, using dead animals and insects as puppets. He got the idea to do this after trying to film two...2022-10-0303 min
All the Movies PodcastDesdemona (Apr. 8, 1912)I’ve seen two American adaptations of Shakespeare so far, and now I’ve seen one from Denmark. August Blom directed this film, which, like the two I watched previously, is not a faithful adaptation of the original play. Unlike the other two, which took only the most basic premise and ran with it in new directions, Desdemona approaches its source, in this case Othello, as the framework in which to tell a parallel story. Valdemar Psilander, who was the top Danish screen actor of his day, plays Einar, an actor starring on stage as Othello, and whose wife, Mari...2022-10-0105 min
All the Movies PodcastThe Lonedale Operator (Mar. 23, 1911)The Lonedale Operator, released on March 23, 1911, is another of the short films that D.W. Griffith created for the Biograph Company, and the first of his films I’ve watched that doesn’t feature Florence Lawrence. This time the lead actress is Blanche Sweet, and she is the star of the picture. Lawrence was always in some sort of co-starring or secondary role.Sweet plays “The Telegrapher,” daughter of “The Lonedale Operator,” so called because he runs the train station in the town of Lonedale, who takes over for her father one day when he falls ill. She becomes...2022-09-2905 min
All the Movies PodcastRomeo Turns Bandit (Nov. 19, 1909)We saw that when D.W. Griffith brought Shakespeare to the big screen, he took great liberties with the plot, and by great liberties I mean he more or less threw it out the window, but his take on The Taming of the Shrew is downright canon compared to what Romeo Bosetti has done with Romeo and Juliet in the 1909 short film Romeo Turns Bandit. Griffith at least kept the basic concept of the story intact, and presented the action as taking place in 1500s Padua. Bosetti not only ignores the entire plot of the source material, he sets...2022-09-2804 min
All the Movies PodcastThe Country Doctor (July 8, 1909)So I exaggerated a bit with this post’s subtitle, but the most interesting thing about this film, and the reason I put it on my list of films to watch, is the presence of Mary Pickford in a small role. She later became the original “America’s Sweetheart,” and, according to Wikipedia at least, is “considered to be one of the most recognizable women in history.” I wanted to see an early example of her work, and The Country Doctor, which premiered on July 8th 1909, is just that.The star here is, of course, our favorite Biograph Gir...2022-09-2703 min
All the Movies PodcastMr. Flip (May 12, 1909)There isn’t much to this short film. It runs for less than 4 minutes, and is nothing special, save for its final scene. That final scene is why it’s on my list, and why I watched, for it is allegedly the first example of someone taking a pie to the face in a film. There are, of course, rumors that two films preceded this monumental achievement, but I can find neither Family Troubles (1900) nor The Coal Strike (1905) to verify this claim. I’m not even sure if those films are considered lost, or if they are merely difficult to fin...2022-09-2402 min
All the Movies PodcastThe Taming of the Shrew (Nov. 10, 1908)I wrote last time about how directors were churning out movies at a fantastic pace in the early days of cinema. To put that idea into perspective, the first film D.W. Griffith directed was released on July 14th, 1908. Less than 4 months later, on November 10th, his 35th film hit theaters. And sure, these were all short films, but each was made with its own cast and crew, and shot from its own script, and then edited down to its final form. That’s a crazy pace by any standards, but there you have it. Equally insane by today’s st...2022-09-2003 min
All the Movies PodcastThe Call of the Wild (Oct. 27, 1908)I chose this film for a few reasons. I’d been reading about the early days of film, and learned about Florence Lawrence. Hers was not a name I recognized, but she’s known as the first American movie star. Before her, people went to see films primarily for the novelty of seeing a film, or for the story the film promised to tell. If they wanted a western, they went to a western, and so forth. Florence Lawrence was the first person who could draw an audience simply by being in a film. She worked for the Biograph Comp...2022-09-1704 min

This isn’t to say that Méliès is a one-trick pony or anything. Far from it! Each film has its own character, and its own neat special effects.
