The best thing on radio these days is Jian Ghomeshi, whose entertainment and culture show Q plays weekday afternoons on CBC. From him I picked up a couple of things today: First, to 'Swede' a movie is to create your own version of it (or of a part of it) using yourself and your friends as the actors. This site has a long list of Sweded movies. Some more on Sweded movies here and here. The term comes from the movie Be Kind Rewind (which apparently nobody saw but everybody remembers). Sweded movies are, of course, one more entry in a litany of types of user-generated content. Video versions of lolcats.
Second, Ghomeshi interviewed Amy Sutherland, a writer who watched trainers at a zoo, discovered operant conditioning for herself, tried it on her husband, and discovered it works. Mostly. What I liked was the way it was characterized: "I should reward behavior I like and ignore behavior I don't," rather than (as most of us do) the other way around. Her book is based on a New York Times column.
