I’ve been thinking about the nature of intelligence lately. Every severe bout with a migraine leaves me squarely focused on my brain, my stupid, dumb brain. It always starts the same way. The throbbing subsides, my muscles ache from being stiff, I slowly rise from my catatonic stupor, and I think to myself, “Seriously, brain. …
It’s a brand new year. Congratulations, you’ve made it this far. Good for you. I hope you enjoyed the holiday season and I wish you an extraordinary new year. I can’t… well… think if any other way to spark this, so let’s just get on with it. God is a mathematician. Ignore for one moment …
When I was a wee lad I had a music teacher whose name slips my mind. He was your typical unfulfilled prodigy. You know the one, he thinks his brilliance is in any way unique and that genius is always an adequate substitute for personality. He hated that he was stuck teaching kids to play …

As you know, the core founders of the Noisecast (maybe you know this) came together after an exodus from the seedy internet empire known as Gawker media. Far from the place crumbling, it seems to be more powerful than ever. I guess old saint Nick was right, we were holding the place back ;). That’s …

It’s flu season again, at least for the Northern hemisphere (where everything’s right side up). Over on New Scientist a question was posed: If you’re getting vaccinated and tweet it, will your followers follow you to the doctor, or are they the sort of people who have an appointment booked already? A few US researchers …

Except Agrippa. My favorite part is how ice cream sandwich isn’t even part of the news. I totally blanked on it. i could add it now, but, meh. I’m both gluten and lactose intolerant, so I’m bitter. We’ve got a full bag today so peep it and creep it. Zynga is going public on NASDAQ …
