Over at Mind Matters, my other site, we just posted a rather interesting article on the ways in which ordinary cell phones can alter your patterns of brain activity, and even interfere with sleep. Here's Doug Fields:

Your coworkers aren't getting laid at bars anymore—they're getting laid at work.
They look smart, run smoothly, and get great mileage - now!
But how do you keep everything well-tuned over the long haul?
Here's a guide to the operation and upkeep of the male sexual machine.

Traditional economics holds that humans, as rational beings, make choices to maximize their welfare. Chicago’s Richard Thaler argues that policy makers—including those working on President Bush’s plan to partially privatize Social Security—would do well to remember that rationality has its bounds.

Today the Italian State lottery is indispensable to the government's budget, with a yearly contribution in excess of 75 million dollars.

Academe's specialization has left John Stuart Mill out in the cold
Article tools
By ALAN WOLFE
Contemporary academic philosophy is riven by a great divide: Either you adhere to a Continental perspective identified with Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger that addresses big speculative subjects like the Essence of Being, or you identify with the British and American analytic school that puts a priority on rigorous logic, language, and meaning. What, then, are we to make of John Stuart Mill, who belongs to neither?
John Stuart Mill: Victorian Firebrand (Atlantic Books, 2007), a biography by Richard Reeves — not the American of the same name who has written biographies of John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, but a British social and political commentator — helps us answer the question.

Picture History : Social Conditions and Trends : Depressions & Recessions
Hello, strangers of the internet. This page is a gallery of pictures. The pictures are simple enough: the people in the photos have been digitally removed and replaced with drawings. Yeah, I know: anyone can trace a drawing. But so what? I am doing it, and you're not. You're sitting at home doing nothing. Or maybe you're surfing the web at work. I don't know. I'm not psychic.
Maybe the pictures illustrate the idea that we all want to remove ourselves from life, and replace ourselves with fictional, self-created versions of ourself. We want to fictionalise our own existence, and impose order and narrative where there is none.
Anyway, some of the photos are just pics of friends and family and some are random photos I found on the web. I apologise if I have accidentally transformed anyone into art.
There's also a bit of a tutorial explaining how the pics are made, so you can replicate them at home if you want.
