2007-10-11 08:58  What interns do vs. what interns want to do
The parody newspaper, The Onion, is always good for a laugh and a new view. This little fake newsbite (''Every Intern At Nonprofit Trying To Solve Refugee Crisis First'') pokes fun at the struggle to work with nonprofit interns, and juggle their big ideas against the drudgery to be done: "I don't mind them attempting to levy sanctions against the Burmese junta or coordinate humanitarian airlifts to the oppressed Karen people on their own time, but we really need them to keep the copier full of p …

2007-10-11 00:18  There are worse things than lying politicians
Newsnight, as part of their season on democracy, presented Richard Symons arguing for a law to make lying by politicians a criminal offence. None of the politicians seemed very keen, but none seemed able to articulate the main reason that this law would not improve democracy. Everyday people accuse politicians of lying. It is expected as part of the make-up of a politician. Many of the accusations are partisan in nature. Take the view that Blair lied about the reasons for the invasion of Iraq. I …

It was a product of and response to the broadcast era, emerging in the 1920s as the study of the effects of radio and cinema broadcasting, newspapers, and, in retrospect, the Post-Gutenberg era of mass-produced print culture. The ˜mass of mass media was seen as a problem. Crowds, masses and mobs were usually thought of as large, unintelligent forces, capable of unpredictable behaviour and …

'This is how they think of us like trash': The unrecognized village of Twail Abu-Jarwal has been demolished entirely already nine times: this is the tenth. The bulldozers evacuated the area entirely: 20 tents, that were the homes of more than 100 people: men, women, elderly and children were collected in to trucks, together with the belongings of the village people, and sent to the local dump. When they completed the destruction, the policepeople and the rest sat to make coffee and eat their lun …

I'm beginning to wonder just which wing of the Republican party these Georgia GOP anti-local control tax zealots belong to. Like Glenn Richardson, Macon Rep. Allen Peake (my rep) wants you to pay sales tax on your child's daycare, dentist visit, haircut and scores of other services. He took to the editorial pages of the Telegraph yesterday to make clear his support of the Georgia GOP's Great Big Tax on Everything. Not only will you be paying a brand new tax on all services, if the Georgia GOP ge …

Bringing Google Transit to New York would be an ambitious undertaking. Google Transit, part of Google's plan to take over the world laboratory of experimental services, is pretty nifty. Using, as Google puts it, all available public transportation schedules and information, the service supposedly plots out the most efficient route from point to point. It includes the option to view various routes and has a cost comparison tool. The only problem for us in New York is that the service is available …

Several years ago, I began writing about a new project that sought to re-envision some of what we do as consumer researchers. Although the way I did it may have been flawed and overly ambitious, I m going to use this blog to try to reformulate some of those ideas, and I d enjoy hearing any interesting thoughts and contributions to this l'il project. The central idea is to formulate a type of Consumption Studies that acknowledges the diversity of approaches to studying consumers and consumptions. …

I m leaning towards letting it be and just starting a new carnival for actual mathematics. There are certainly many more mathematics weblogs than there were …
