  • Groundswell author on blogging a book

    Back when I wrote The Power of Many I blogged about blogging a book in progress and since then I’ve noticed a number of other authors blogging about the same subject. (Contrast this with William Gibson’s decision to stop his blogging when he started his next book.) Now it looks like Forrester analyst Charlene Li…

  • Let’s Put a Lid on Prisoner Exchanges

    I don’t get the point of why countries make prisoner exchanges. It must be a case of “The grass is always greener on the other side.” What makes them think they’re going to get a better class of prisoners out of this, compared to the ones they are sending away? More likely, the new prisoners…

  • “One Nation, Under Me…”

    Among comics/comix fans, Bill Keane’s “Family Circus” is considered so blandly inoffensive as to be beneath ridicule. But I can’t let Sunday’s strip pass without comment. It begins with the adorable tow-headed kid (Jeffy?) waking up and telling Mom, “Wow! I dreamed that God was saying the Pledge of Allegiance!” Then, in the second and…

  • One of the All-Time Great “Thought Experiments”

    This must have come from Galileo, I guess. In any case, it is to show that heavy objects don’t fall faster than lighter objects. Imagine three identical bricks falling–at the same speed, obviously. Two of the bricks have adhesive on their sides. As they fall, these two bricks happen to touch, and the adhesive joins…

  • I need to hire Liza Sabater as my publicist

  • Mass Confusion over “ASST”

    I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets confused by the terribly ambiguous abbreviation “ASST.” I mean, all you have to do is take one look at: ASST VEGETABLES and ASST DA’s Don’t you often find yourself reading them: Assistant Vegetables and Assorted DA’s Please, sign-makers, a little clarity wouldn’t hurt.
