@gnewburn Now come get a Ph.D. at Mason.
Wow. GMU is abandoning the label "Austrian Economics" because professors are tired of dealing with non-academic pseudo-intellectuals. Wow.
@djprefect Is there some way to hear the first hour of Common Threads instead of Pogo Radio? The Internet stream disappoints.
@thejerkx Well, RIT is a fun school too. But I doubt Gallaudet is really hopeless. There's always a way to get what you want with hard work.
@thejerkx Things will get better -- e.g., when at Gallaudet. I'm always available if you want someone to talk to about it via text or IM.
Today was a terrible day to mis-set my alarm clock.

My day: Christmas cookies making and bridge with the family, unicycle gang meeting, back alley haircut, Ninja Assassins movie, and diner.
I'm off to Philly for Thanksgiving.
@moofedma Capitalism improves living standards for all. Socialism spreads misery equally. Intentions != results; "supposed to" is irrelevant

It's fun watching global warming absolutists squirm. http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs...
I'm a global warming skeptic. I haven't reached a conclusion yet, but it is very clear that believers have been doing bad science for years.

@nthmost Exception? Have you heard about Ambien's effect on "comas"? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories...
@djprefect It's 4 - 6 am PST. I set my alarm, woke up early, and tuned into Pirate Cat. Where is my SCIENCE?!
We're playing with Brain Voyager in neuroeconomics today. Braaaaaiins!!!
On the upside, you can now RT tweets at the maximum character limit without needing room for the person's handle.
I don't like the new RT feature. It de-emphasizes the person who RTed, which is far more important in cognitive filtering than the original.

@nthmost I should have titled that... Wall Street Journal article on makers and hackerspaces: http://online.wsj.com/article...
This is the best Survivor season ever. By far. Russell plays the game just like I think my brother would.
In spite of the $50 parking ticket I got it was still a decent day: 8 hours of libertarian legal theory + 6 hours of OTB bughouse.
@perlgerl Easy to fix!
The first panel includes Steve Forbes and Richard Epstein. This should be a good conference.
