Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

    Thursday morning links

    What's new with brain-computer interfacing?

    Psychologists study the minds and brains of psychopaths. The New Yorker. It's important to be able to identify psychopaths, so you can stay away from them.

    Very useful new office stamp. Every desk needs one of these.

    Tagging Bluefin Tuna. Very cool. I did not know that they were essentially a warm-blooded fish.

    Ran a mile with a rabid fox clamped to her arm. Sounds like something from Carl Hiassen.

    Red really is the color of love. h/t, Flares. Hmmm. I think most women look best in black.

    China's Space industry is taking off

    Dr. William Gray on The Over-Hyping of Green. We view "green" as simply a fashionable marketing tool, but we are big on land and marine conservation.

    Women have more germs than men.

    A nice post on Crichton at Reference Frame

    Oldest Hebrew text found

    Thinking about how T.S. Eliot found God. I sorta wish Gaghdad would resist the temptation to spill into politics.

    Crusading for the Everglades, behind the scenes. Good for her, and good for Paul Tudor Jones too. Rich folks have their purposes.

    "Poverty and disadvantage are a better preparation for success than wealth and capitalizing on advantage.” Malcolm Gladwell. Adversity helps. But what is "success"?

    Markets in everything: "gold-farming" in China

    "A successful market-timing Man will typically have a portfolio composed of 60% High-end Hookers, 30% High-end GFs and 10% value High-end Wives when the market is bottoming. As the cycle comes around..." read the rest.
