Linkblogging For 20/07/10

I may do a proper post later if I’m not too exhausted, on Marco Polo or Batman. But for now, links: Debi has a new blog, Thagomizer.net, and one of her first posts is a response to my post from yesterday, in agreement but from a slightly different angle. Very good stuff. (That post of [...]

Linkblogging For 13/07/10

The Doctor Who And Batman week continues tomorrow, now that my computer problems are over and my coursework done (it would have continued today but my wife is unwell and I’ve been looking after her). I hope tomorrow I’ll also get round to answering some of my email backlog. Meanwhile, some links: A talk by [...]

Linkblogging For 25/06/10

Proper posts tomorrow (on Morrison Batman) and Sunday (on Doctor Who) if possible, but I’ve got a busy weekend ahead of me (got to work from home to keep to a deadline, and also going to a gig tomorrow night). Meanwhile, some links: Zom at the Mindless Ones is doing an alphabetical look at all [...]

Linkblogging For 12/06/10

My in-laws are visiting from the US, so blogging will probably be lighter than normal for the next week. In the meantime, some links: On Twitter, Lawrence Miles has started a World Cup Of Things (you’ll need to be logged in to see that link). One of the two teams I’ve entered – ‘a 1970s [...]

Linkblogging For 09/06/10

And after that heaviness, a few links: I’m through to the FINAL!!! in the Pop World Cup, but unfortunately from the comments it looks like I’m getting thrashed by Nigeria. Please go there and vote for Germany. Obverse Books, who publish the Iris Wildthyme Doctor Who spinoff books, have announced they will be working with [...]

Have been unwell, hence lack of posts. Doctor Who post tonight, with any luck. LessWrong have a more-intuitive-than-normal description of Bayes’ Theorem, while Decision Science News has a counterintuitive probability puzzle you can try that on. Fred at Slacktivist talks about fundamentalists’ attitudes to sexuality and money. A personal letter from Steve Martin. An interesting [...]

Linkblogging for 20/05/10

Apologies for not starting on the Batman etc posts just yet – I forgot about commitments that will stop me writing a long blog post til the weekend. Normal daily bloggery will restart then. In the meantime, links: Richard Cooper looks at The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The NIght-Time from the perspective of [...]

Linkblogging For 02/05/10

Only a linkblog today, as I’m exhausted after delivering 320 leaflets throughout Fallowfield for Qassim Afzal (who the Daily Mail hate – good enough reason to vote for him as any) and Dave Page. Tomorrow I’m campaigning for Mat Bowles and Jennie Rigg in Yorkshire, so may not get much time to post then either. [...]

Linkblogging For 01/05/10

In this election, I’m hoping for the Lib Dem vote to be as high as possible, because I think both the Tories and Labour are equally despicable. However, I’m realistic enough to accept that many Lib Dem supporters (or people calling for Lib Dem votes in some seats) this time around are doing so purely [...]
