Out

Hi all, Blogging is going to be sporadic til Monday. I am in transit to see the Fam until then. (Don't even get me started on the pooch screw that was security at JFK this morning. Have you ever seen a woman throw a tantrum because she had to throw out her lotion? I have.) Have a good weekend…

Sinking, rather

I had thought that I was getting on top of things over spring break. My folks came to visit us in the Illinois house, we refinished our kitchen floor and made umpteen home repairs, and drove back to W. Lafayette yesterday. My first full day back at work has been outrageously busy, I have a full…

Journal Editor Speaks about His Experiences

August 10, 2009

(I had this whole post ready talking about flexible representations, but now my computer is borked -- stupid monitor! -- so this is going to have to do.) Tyler Cowen over at Marginal Revolution links to a piece by a former editor at American Economic Review telling all about how papers are accepted…

Obesity is not a myth

July 30, 2009

There is a great conversation going on at Megan McArdle's blog with Paul Campos, author of The Obesity Myth. I say great because it give me the opportunity to show how astonishingly wrong Campos in suggesting that the obesity at the lower end of the BMI spectrum -- not just morbid obesity -- is…

Imaging a Superior Mnemonist
