Will Wilkinson and Jon Haidt just did a bloggingheads.tv. I've blogged Haidt's ideas before (Chris is skeptical). During this bloggingheads.tv interview Haidt lays out the difference between college age liberals and other societies with a scenario where a beloved dog dies and the family decides…
I see you've hired a new hairstylist. Good on ya.
No it was just the earphones.
You are tagged.
Just out of curiousity, how did you import a frame of video into the post? Didya have to convert it first with another program, or will the SciBlogs thing do that for you?
I'm impressed. You speak as well as you write. Your ability to focus on the most appropriate response is what I noticed most.
