Half-finished or half-baked? 004

Random musings. Half-finished (and quite possibly half-baked) thoughts.

Things that have caught my eye…


Interesting perspectives on the infamous software study

  • “How
  • can a technology that is transforming the way we acquire information

    throughout the economy – revolutionizing businesses from games to

    The ill effects of their sloth likely will undermine education efforts

    for years to come

    one of the remaining anti-evolution board members is running unopposed for the presidency of the National Association of State Boards of Education.

    When standards shift
