It’s something you were trained to be proud of as mini humans. Why abandon that pride?

    • More Resistance to Free Range Kids December 30, 2008
      I know Lenore Skenazy’s terrific blog, Free-Range Kids, has been mentioned on BB before, but IMHO it’s relevant, especially when our kids are home from school for two weeks and we as parents have to choose between letting them zone out for hours with the new videogame Santa brought them, or giving them the opportunity to explore the world around them an […]

    • The breakup of the United States January 2, 2009
      Kevin Kelly discusses the possibility of an "unthinkable" breakup of the USA. After all, notes Juan Enriquez, "no US president has ever died under the same flag that he was born under." The most recent breakup scenario was noted today in the Wall Street Journal in a piece about Russian professor Igor Panarin, who predicts the breaku […]
    • Yes, Bristol Palin is 18... January 1, 2009
      Several people have commented on my last post, pointing out that Bristol is over 18 now and really any information about the baby needs to come from her and Levi, and if they choose not to release anything it's their call. This is 100% true and I cannot dispute that. The two young people are entitled to their privacy, and even though at times in my fr […]

    • it slices! it dices! it juliennes! January 1, 2009
      Those of you who know me well know that I cannot cook.  As in burning water, out-of-a-box, drive-through-window CANNOT MAKE FOOD. One of my resolutions this year is to start using the kitchen for more than a place to store my beer and Eggo waffles.  In that vein, I’ve started accumulating things that one might need in order to make meals, such as pot […]

    • The New Yorker reviews the new edition of The Joy of Sex December 29, 2008
      Chelsie Gosk says: I thought you might be interested in Ariel Levy’s review of the new edition of The Joy of Sex as well as the piece’s accompanying slide show (illustrations from the 1972 edition, the new edition, and Our Bodies, Ourselves) and podcast."

    • The Octonauts Are Where It’s At December 30, 2008
      As promised, here’s a post about kids’ books, and specifically Meomi’s fabulous The Octonauts series. We’ve tried to give Mark F. credit for turning us on to The Octonauts, but he refuses to take it, going so far to insist that he’s never seen these books. OK, fine. The books in question are The Only Lonely Monster, The Sea of Shade, and the new […]
    • It's not just General Motors December 25, 2008
      While this may seem off-topic for PT, it’s an important issue that is directly relevant to science education and research. In the midst of the current severe economic downturn, all segments of our society are feeling knock-on effects. College and university endowments have taken substantial hits. We hear about the big ones: Harvard’s $36 billion endow […]

    • A Web Developer's Responsibility December 29, 2008
      It's safe to say that the biggest tax on a web developer is spending so much time dealing with browser bugs and incompatibilities. Thus it has become the favorite past-time of all web developers to complain about having to deal with them. Browser bugs are annoying, frustrating, and make your job incredibly difficult. Because browser bugs are so frustr […]
    • One Santa to rule them all December 24, 2008
      All Santas look the same. This is important to you if you're a marketer. Lots of brands and markets splinter. We have markets with hundreds of different cell phone models, catalogs containing tens of thousands of different kinds of nuts and bolts. There are very few marketing examples of a natural monopoly. The Bell phone system was a natura […]

    • The Fine-Tuned Universe -- the insignificance of very small numbers December 20, 2008
      The Intelligent Design community often argue that the universe is fine-tuned for life and this can only be because there is a designer. There have been many refutations of this argument. This short paper looks at one specific issue. The fallacy of arguing that because a physical constant has to be extremely precise to support life it is therefore extremely u […]
    • Mark Frank on "fine tuning" argument December 21, 2008
      The “fine-tuning” argument is a version of the creationist interpretation of the antropic coincidences argument. Its essence is an asseveration that the physical constants must have values within extremely narrow limits in order for life to exist. Since the constants indeed have such values as is necessary for life existence, those values, according to c […]
