Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Saturday, July 30, 2005. A possible new kind of vaccination? The CDC, back in 2001, published a very interesting paper that might change your mind about how and why you get the flu - amongst other things. Seasonal Variation in Host Susceptibility and Cycles of Certain Infectious Diseases by Scott F. Dowell. Http:/ www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol7no3/dowell.htm.

Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Friday, April 17, 2009. Attention-seeking objects will be hard to part with. James Pierce at Indiana University in Bloomington is designing ways for objects to periodically make their presence felt, forcing us to "reflect" on them more often. He believes that this will increase our sense of attachment to our possessions, helping to end our unsustainable habit of constantly buying new things and dumping the old.

Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Tuesday, November 22, 2005. I have relatives and friends who, it turns out much to my shock, are 911 deniers. So I won't have to have this argument again, here's a typical message from a friend of mine and my pretty much standard reply about 911:. On 11/21/05, a friend wrote me, following up after a phone conversation:. And here's my reply:. Cause humans are dumb as bricks, and twice as complacent is why, methinks.

http://confusioncomplete.blogspot.com/2013/03/systemic-discrimination-trivial-but.html
Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Systemic Discrimination, a trivial but useful example. The social innovation site Good.is doesn't just mean well, they mean very well. And do good. Fighting discrimination, amongst other things, I'm sure. But they've also just provided me with a fine example of systemic discrimination, themselves. Mean conscious discrimination. It doesn't. Care a whole lot.). You could try resetting your system font, but I wouldn't advise doing that - what I fou...

Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Thursday, October 27, 2005. My kingdom for a writer. There are two ways to portray a historical figure as an actor - imitate, or resonate, as one might say. That is, you can try to make the audience recognize mannerisms, accent, and idiosyncrasies, or you can try to recreate the forces within that moved that individual. One can't commit fully to both approaches at the same time and it's laughable to flip from one to the other. October 27, 2005. Links to this post.

Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Monday, September 25, 2006. This was a message to a Citizendium list (Citizendium is a proposed fork of Wikipedia by Larry Sanger et al) but applies to other competitors to Wikipedia and I hope there are many that flourish. Re: On Transversality - Communication Between Different. Levels Of Experience on Citizendium. Re: Fork Viability, and establishing beachheads.

Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Saturday, February 04, 2006. You think the most amazing thing about Bush's illegal wiretapping program was that he did it, or that he says he still thinks it's legal, because Presidents can do that sort of thing (hey, Nixon actually proved that, didn't he? NOPE - the most amazing thing is that the New York Times, no less, covered up the illegal practice for an entire year, themselves (and would have continued to do so):. Review by WALTER ISAACSON. The Times isn't saying,...
