I WANT IN!
So I am reclining last night reading the latest issue of New Scientist when I come across an article referring to Indian rationalist Sanal Edamaruku. Edamaruku is a sort of Indian James Randi in that he looks at claims made by superstitious idiots and then promptly points out that they are superstitious idiots….my kinda guy……
Found this on the google box. Looks like he is cleaning/power cleaning about 90kg – not bad for a bloke with one leg. So how is the sooking about being too tired to work out going…..
Today’s contribution comes from Scott Lowther our system tester/designer extraordinaire….. I did something the other day that I have not done in a long time, I succumbed and read one of those main stream media articles on investing, and how dollar cost averaging pays off. Since completing the Mentor program in 2007, I normally…
I have been a fan of the Khan Academy since I first encountered it – it seems to me that digital delivery of education has a different agenda to traditional education. Digital is about teaching – traditional is about credentials and the provision of degrees.
For some reason I get a copy of Your Trading Edge sent to me on a regular basis and generally after a quick scan to see how far people can drop into superstition and magical thinking it goes in the bin. Not this week because one article contains a by line so staggeringly ironic that…
As you would expect I keep a file of all world indices but I call this file a context file in that it has no information other than price and a few coloured lines. The reason I do this is simply to remove as much noise as possible and to get a sense of what…

Sias, University of Arizona and Harry J. Turtle, Washington State University. The authors examined…
Maybe….maybe not. Its probably more akin to pick pocketing with baseball bat – supposedly subtle and frictionless but actual a source of violence. More here
Note to audience – this video contains smart people doing smart things. Do not watch if you have a passion for reality tv, womens magazines or if you have a child with a bogan name such as Alivia, Alixzander, Amarly, Antwonet, Ararahbella or Sierra-Leonie.
Brilliant piece by Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone – I have said it before and I will say it again – Taibbi is the best finance journalist going around today. All the rest seemed to be boring hacks who try and conjure up some postdictive bullshit as to why something happened as opposed to looking…
Following on from my surprise that betting agencies present their information in a manner similar to other derivative providers I have been doing a bit of trolling around and found that someone is actually making a market on the timing of the discovery of the Higgs boson. For those not up with the nitty gritty…
