When Consumer Society Went Wrong
Today, I fixed my old Emerson Electric desk fan. This monster was built back in the nineteen-forties or the nineteen thirties and it really shows–solid steel everywhere and everything is designed to be taken apart and reassembled. It could probably … Continue reading

The Penny is Garbage Money!
I hate that jar of pennies I have. I hate having to pack pennies into little rolls to take to the bank. I have a little pocket on my equipment vest just for pennies and other useless change and, I … Continue reading

Some interesting game links this month: The Settlers of Catan, a game which I’ve never played, apparently has inspired this bit of mathematical analysis about avoiding agressive moves early in the game. Nature magazine published an article about game theoretical … Continue reading
One of the Few Holidays I Care About
