Ontology, Venn diagrams, and the TSA

Posted by Richard on January 16, 2011

I saw Touching Your Junk: An Ontological Complaint at the end of December. I managed to save my Firefox session history after my computer meltdown. Today, I finally reinstalled FF, and when I fired it up and reloaded my last session, there it was. I think it's marvelous. Check it out.

No, don't just click the link, look at the first Venn diagram, and move on. The author of the post (Zarf) found it wanting, analyzed it, deconstructed it, and finally created a proper Venn diagram that captured the intent of the original. I think he did a bang-up job, and I really got a kick out of it. If you're at all into ontology (when was the last time you saw the phrase "into ontology"?), I think you'll like it, too.

I'm afraid I don't recall who pointed me to it, so no hat tip.

Don’t worry, it’s just a little quantitative easing

Posted by Richard on January 16, 2011

Wholesale prices surged 1.1% in December, but the experts assured us it was nothing to worry about. Most of the increase was just due to rapidly rising prices for things like food, gasoline, and home heating oil. And who needs those?

This might be a good time to review the experts' plan to "fix" our economy: more quantitative easing.
