- MAR: I’ve been looking to buy a replacement DVD drive for my Xbox (the original one is effectively dead, a common problem).
- APR: There’s a fair amount of evidence and for the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which states that it’s impossible to achieve better-than-market returns (when adjusted for risk) on a regular, repeatable basis.
- MAY: From the Political Compass FAQ:
- JUN: Goddard College invents Masters in Consciousness degree to study eastern religious traditions.
- JLY: The actual article is full of common-sense reasoning, but it was this part that caused me to post:
- AUG: While in Costa Rica, I had a brief discussion (with a poker website employee) about the likelihood that a computer will eventually be able to beat any human player.
- SEP: Magicians are entertainers who manipulate the human mind; some take that art too far.
- OCT: Barbara Ann Parodies:
- NOV: I’ve finally figured out a use for Twitter Now.
