Creative Problem Solving with Mosquitoes

You have to give these scientists credit. They came up with a good idea to solve this problem. I don't know if it will work, but it has the makings of a great idea.

The soothing sounds of... crotches??

Here are two interesting articles I found today...

One on men's crotches (SFW), it's about a study using eye-tracking. I'd like to hear your opinions on this one.

Here's one more my cup-o-tea. I couldn't find the actual paper this guy was talking about. I didn't even know there was a theory out there that suggested that your nerves transmit sound waves rather than electrical pulses. I think it's hooey, but does he raise a good point about the heat generation?

Women and Men

These two articles just go to show, when people try to find out something. They find out what they set out to find, not what's really out there.

Free Courses Online

I know Behn and I were talking about this a few days ago.

The link takes you to a website listing a whole bunches and bunches of free online courses. I haven't actually gone through any, but I think it's basically just published curriculum (not a formal course). However, I believe MIT has published it's "entire" curriculum online. It could be worth noting/bookmarking.

Bye Warren Buffet

In case anyone is insterested in financial news. Warren Buffet is looking for a successor. I'm thinking about applying for the position. I'm currently fabricating one hell of a resume to send it.
