You might have noticed I haven’t posted much recently.  (OK fine; so you didn’t miss me at all and I’m only flattering myself.)  The light posting was because I just spent several days in the wilderness.  (I needed a vacation … Continue reading →

Word For The Day: Sampled

Posted on September 13, 2010 by

Nine Years Later; Why We’re Still Here

Journalists And The Math That Scares Them

Posted on September 10, 2010 by
