  • For Scots, a Scourge Unleashed by a Bottle (alcoholism)
  • Microsoft’s Creative Destruction. “Microsoft’s huge profits — $6.7 billion for the past quarter — come almost entirely from Windows and Office programs first developed decades ago… While the company has had a truly amazing past and an enviably prosperous present, unless it regains its creative spark, it’s an open question whether it has much of a future.”
  • The Chess Master and the Computer
  • Hottest decade on record. Nice graph. From NOAA’s annual State of the Climate report.
  • Coaches Still Vexed by Going for Two. Game theory.
  • Two wacky ballot measure proposals: One is to change the Seal of the State of Washington – currently an image of George Washington – to “a tapeworm dressed in a three pieced suit attached to the taxpayer’s rectum.” And Denver voters will be asked to create UFO commission.
  • Budget Forecasts, Compared With Reality
  • Countries Submit Emission Goals post-Copenhagen.
  • Bill Watterson, creator of beloved ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ comic strip looks back with no regrets.
  • Climateprogress disses the Cantwell-Collins cap-and-dividend bill. I have some input in the comments section.
  • Your Photos, Off the Shelf at Last
  • Suicide or Murder at Guantánamo? Jack Shafer doesn’t buy the murder angle.
