Links
- SF Futures - my friend Jonathan Cowie runs an SF website which I helped set up a long time ago. He's just launched a new section with short, short stories from Nature. Some good authors in the initial selection - Ted Chiang, Charlie Stross amongst others.
- Global Imbalances: The New Economy, the Dark Matter, the Savvy Investor and the Standard Analysis - Barry Eichengreen [pdf] - good survey article of the standard analysis of the problems of US Budget deficits compared with recent ideas on why things are different this time.
- Edge Magazine - Kevin Kelly on the future of science. I like the triple blind experiments - collect lots of data upfront and you can mine it later to test hypotheses you hadn't even thought of when you started.
- b3ta.com - reasons for getting sacked. Pretty funny.
- Boohbah - great site for very young children. Much easier to navigate and more intuitive than CBeebies. My 4 year old still gets something out of it, but it's probably a bit babyish for her.
- Our place in the universe - remarkably precarious.
- via Making Light - painted room illusions
- Deadprogrammers cafe - how to advertise on your blog. Interesting stuff on using Amazon associates etc. I've kind of given up on that here.
