The Corpus Callosum

The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.

Shark Cartilage In the Water

I just love the title; it's from a recent editorial (link to abstract; subscription required for full access) in the British Medical Journal.  The author, Jonathan Waxman, argues that the medical profession should protect patients from exploitation from the alternative...

Baclofen in the Treatment of Alcohol Withdrawal

Category: Medicine

Thanksgiving Pi

Category: Personal

Happy Thanksgiving! About the image: it's big, I know, kind of slow for those with dial-up, and it's going to mess up the formatting of the page for those with lower-resolution monitors.  I did shrink it some, but shrinking...

"Let's Impeach The President" by Neil Young

Category: Politics

HT to Murph at Common Monkeyflower for reminding me about this.  Youtube has a video montage, set to the tune of "Let's Impeach The President" by Neil Young. There's another video that just has a static picture, and the music,...

On the Novell-Microsoft Deal

I've been holding back on this one, but it is time to speak out.  On November 2, 2006, Microsoft and Novell announced a deal.  The deal involves Microsoft paying Novell, and the two companies working together to ensure a certain...
