(I found this article by James Altucher on TechCrunch http://techcrunch.com/ and I thought some here would find it interesting. Here’s the link to James’ post, if you want to comment to him directly, http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/28/why-every-entrepreneur-should-self-publish-a-book/ I’d be interested in the opinions of those here; Lars, Rich, David (any others?) with experience with this topic.)
I’ve [...] Just found out that Wikipedia’s down today (per Jonah Goldberg’s Twitter feed). (Google’s even horned in on the act. There’s a big piece of — what looks like — duct tape over their logo.) Yesterday he wrote at NR’s The Corner: Very soon Wikipedia will go dark for a day to protest something called SOPA. [...] ESPN and USA Today are both reporting (which means ESPN probably stole the story from some local blog) that Penn State has hired New England patriots Offensive Coordinator Bill O’Brien as its next head football coach. Nittany Lions nation is apparently up in arms that someone without ties to PSU was hired. Bill O’Brien [...] Here’s an interesting piece from New Scientist on “outsider physicists” and other amateur, non-credentialed scientists. IN OCTOBER 1991, astrophysicists observed something incredible in the skies above Dugway Proving Ground, a former weapons-testing facility in a remote corner of Utah. It was a cosmic ray with an enormous amount of energy – equivalent to the kinetic [...] Norman, Norman, Norman. Foolish, foolish Norman. Just doesn’t matter how many facts stack up against you when you whine about conservative media bias and backlash, does it? Larry Elder, thanks for blowing Mr. Delusional’s ill wind right back at him. How accurate is Lear’s assessment of the supposed power and influence of the right? [...] Want to lose weight? Don’t worry about counting calories or exercising… just talk about food endlessly… nothing kills an appetite like “the philosophy of food”. The downside… it might increase your alcohol intake. Philosophers have a long but scattered history of analyzing food. Plato famously details an appropriate diet in Book II of the [...] On Christmas Day I posted a piece on the negative effects of affirmative action — not just on Whites, but also for Blacks and other minorities. It seems the utter failure of our Affirmative Action President has chummed the waters for the pernicious idea that to solve racial discrimination we have to discriminate racially. I [...] Now who would’ve have thought that making decisions based on solely or mostly on race would lead to bad outcomes? Anyone with a lick of sense of course. Now the numbers are starting to emerge on the damage affirmative action has wrought. From Jeff Jacoby in The Boston Globe: In a report published last year [...] From Australia… the “ethical” case for eating meat from a journal called The Conversation: Most cattle slaughtered in Australia feed solely on pasture. This is usually rangelands, which constitute about 70% of the continent. Grazing occurs on primarily native ecosystems. These have and maintain far higher levels of native biodiversity than croplands. The rangelands [...] Theodore Dalrymple… one of my favorite, if one of the more doleful, writers around has written a brilliant post-mortem of this past summer’s London riots for City Journal. Here’s a bit — go read the rest of “Barbarians on the Thames” here. Resentment is a powerful, long-lasting emotion that usually is self-serving and [...] No denying Coach Paterno’s legacy took a deserved recent tarnish due to his inaction re. Jerry “How Ya Liking Jail Now?” Sandusky’s sickening behavior, but a recent ranking of Penn State football’s academic excellence a nice heads-up for those who don’t know what we who proudly wear the blue and white have known for [...] To bum a sentiment from David Stein by way of Michael Corleone, just when you think all the fuss about David’s take-down of Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer’s intellectual dishonesty re. Gov. Rick Perry’s Muslim curriculum had seen its last, they pull him back in to the fray. Be sure to check out David’s whole [...] I’m 99.5% against kicking another man in the balls. The exceptions… self defense from a crime, street fights and defending yourself from a bigger bully. I hope this mother wins a judgment and someone loses their job over this… from CBS Boston: A 7-year-old boy is being investigated by his South Boston elementary school [...] Tonight in my graduate seminar in Psychology, Law, and Public Policy we’re discussing the pain of imprisonment and the limits of prison as a method of correction — along with other policies related to prisons. I think I’ll kick class off with this from the Man in Black. Share on Facebook Look into the face of ignorant naive fear. These American students were arrested in Cairo, Egypt in Tahrir Square for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at Egyptian security forces as Egypt continues its slide into whatever the hell it ends up being. Three Americans studying at the American University in Cairo have been arrested and [...] Yeah, it actually says that on one of those old pieces of paper that we keep around the National Archives. It’s one of the the few things that are actually spelled out as being required by Congress to do. Share on [...] Tonight in my International Law Seminar we are discussing the “Laws of Armed Conflict” (LOAC) aka International Humanitarian Law. I’m thinking of showing this video to highlight the efficacy of strict U.S. adherence to LOAC in our recent conflicts. Share on Facebook My first question is how did the person in charge of this reading program know who Sasha Grey was? Grey — who once won a Best Oral Sex award for her role in “Throat: A Cautionary Tale” — participated in the “Read Across America” program at Emerson Elementary School in Compton, CA last week.
