Even online, there are many meta-journalist columns that attempt to offer added analysis and investigative reporting. One of the issues online is, of course, finding these sources, which are often more hidden than The Economist (a London

I entered my PhD in 2003 (remember, it was after a kinda big crash). I beat out 160 candidates to get one of seven slots. Since then, like many junior scholars, I've been watching faculty retirement stats for new jobs. Now, I'm finishing my

Wow, it's like they've skipped Open Courseware all together-- way to kick some MIT ass. Sadly, don't think this is going to match YouTube edutainment favorite: Drunk History ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V_DsL1x1uY )

We should see some new commercials soon: "I'm the Emperor...And I'm Darth Vader" We're both evil, but one of us is ugly, while the other is shiny and black (for a premium!)

What a load of crap. How much did pets.com have in their war chest back in the day? How far did that get them? Massive "startups" vs the small agile ones are like the dinosaurs vs the rodents. Who survived and thrived after the meteor hi

Wow! comparing Palin to Chester Allen Arthur, BURN! While I don't know how Obama would come out ("qualified" or "unqualified") in a Lessig-style analysis (which is, more or less, just a rhetorical style), this talk shows some pitfalls of

This post shows how someone can use profiles to filter and experiment in Google Analytics, which is super cool. I love Analytics (sexy maps, pretty graphs, easy to access) but it's still important to know how to interpret and discuss the da

Success also can be measured in ways other than downloads. I don't think Google is trying to "corner the browser market" by getting everyone to switch to Chrome. Rather, this could be another Google attempt to manipulate the course of futur

CHEAP TRICK: Buy staple foods that'll keep. Pasta, canned tuna, canned veggies, tomatoes, beans and rice rarely go bad. For good cheap protein, try preparing eggs (not only scrambled or hard-boiled, but use them in egg salads, green salads

This is a great post because it helps evaluate the very different goals of various organizations. That is, it shows that the "products" of large institutions (government, higher-ed, corporate firms) are not necessarily those of smaller bus

This is a nice interview and left me feeling warm and fuzzy about being a more altruistic capitalist. But, I'm still wondering what exactly Hamilton's extended business plan was. "Selflessly Make Helpful Tool" + "Patience" still doesn't lea

One hundred years ago Manhattan's population was around 2.3 million. In the 1800s, there were still cattle drives near Broadway. These images are a reminder of how much culture and technology can change in just a few decades.

I've been messing with domain names using the word "green" and I'm just amazed they were able to get something that's 2 syllables with "green" in it. Thanks cybersquatters!

The browser is amazingly fast, clean, well-designed (great Omnibox) but the comic-book-style explanation... really? That little digitomb took away whatever load-time I would have saved the rest of the week.
