Musings, ramblings, and rants. Monday, August 23, 2010. Man, I wish I had an easier way to share my reading lists. I realize that it has been a while since I last updated my little "about me" blurb. No, I am not still reading the most recent (English-language) edition of Diogenes. But, since I do read numerous periodicals (bimonthly and quarterly publishing) and weeklies (the Economist, for one) it is pretty onerous to try to update my reading status each time. Links to this post. This leads me to think ...

Musings, ramblings, and rants. Monday, February 25, 2008. For the last couple of weeks I have noticed some rather peculiar ads while riding the TTC. If the "From the makers of WhyBecauseISaidSo" did not jump out at you, the subtle tongue-in-cheek humour of the ads implies that something else is going on here. I think that most people would immediately suspect some kind of viral marketing. Campaign, but the immediate question was: whose? Photo by Mark Belvis. From the Obay Marketing Flickr Pool. Months pa...

Musings, ramblings, and rants. Sunday, June 06, 2010. Contrastive Explanations and Debates about the Strong Programme in the Sociology of Science. In a recent issue of Sociology of Science. Jeff Kochan examines the use of "contrastive explanations" in critiques of the Strong Programme. I really enjoyed this article because it explains the Strong Programme methodology in a clear, understandable manner. And, it makes some very interesting methodological arguments. The section of the essay that I find most ...

Musings, ramblings, and rants. Saturday, August 14, 2010. Water: the Reality of Scarcity. In a recently published special report. In this article, Alatout illustrates how arguments for the abundance of a resource (in this case, water) are often overlooked as the opposite of scarcity. Instead, he argues, debate about the abundance of water deserve to be considered as a separate category apart from the arguments about scarcity. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Musings, ramblings, and rants. Wednesday, April 09, 2008. Not Forgetting Sarah Marshall anytime soon. A couple of nights ago, Team Awesome went to see an advance screening of " Forgetting Sarah Marshall. What little information I could find about the release indicated that it was made by the "guys who brought you 'Knocked Up' and 'The 40-year Old Virgin'." Since I really enjoyed seeing both of those movies, this one had some expectations to live up to. And it did. Sort of. Allow me to explain. Well, Pete...

Musings, ramblings, and rants. Monday, March 31, 2008. I came across this little ad in a local paper last week. My initial reaction was "What the shit"? What could be a rather serene picture, unfortunately involving yoga, is ruined by a modified lady's speedo. The main thing that disturbed me: why did my eyes keep getting drawn to the crotch? My original title for this post was going to be: "Why I am never moving to the West Coast.". So kudos to Lulu, despite the fact that I still hate them and the yuppi...

Musings, ramblings, and rants. Monday, April 26, 2010. New Blogs and New Directions. One of the concerns that has long been in the back of my mind is "how can I manage a professional and a personal web presence at the same time? This is why I am going to create another blog. This one will be used to post ideas and experiences related to work, or the sort of activities and ideas that relate to my work. The specifics have not yet been fully planned. The new blog is called " Operations Theatre. And, as ment...

Musings, ramblings, and rants. Monday, November 20, 2006. The origins of the mouth-breather. Alright. One post on how much I detest mouthbreathing was just not enough for me. So, herein I am going to try to investigate the historical status of the mouthbreather. I just want to understand where we went wrong. Wikipedia has a useful entry on mouthbreathing. However, wikipedia does not give me any information on. The term first entered use. So, I checked out dictionary.com…. I was a little doubtful of this ...
