I usually try to save this sort of thing for the weekend, but we're coming down to the end of the term, and today is an especially hectic day. Thus, a list of links that struck me as worth passing on:
- First, Paul Kwiat on counterfactual computation at Cosmic Variance. I will get back to this, eventually, but for now, you can read about it from the horse's mouth, as it were.
- Sticking with physics bloggers for a minute, we have Gordon Watts on the right way to be crazy. Kooks, take note.
- Elsewhere on ScienceBlogs, RPM has some thoughts on what makes a good conference. I mostly agree with the tips he quotes in his piece. For the record, my personal favorite conferences are the Gordon Research Conferences, which fit most of the criteria he lists for a good meeting.
- Via Scalzi at AOL, an article on people blogging for money, that proves two things: first, that there's more money in selling blog ads than I realized, and second, that Joshua Micah Marshall is impossible to photograph without making him look shifty (page three of the article). No mention of ScienceBlogs, but I'm sure that was just an oversight...
- Not actually a link, but the best spam Subject: line of the year so far: "Neonatal Mice Inhalation Anaesthesia." Yeah, I suppose that inhaling neonatal mice would put you out for a while, but there have to be easier ways...
I'll try to have original content soon.
