Is this the new meme? Readers of such books as and properly know about the ingenious implicit association test, which is very good (says most) at revealing cognitive bias’ - such as racism etc.
At projectimplicit the new test is putting your open source feelings to the test…

Another great TED talk, this time by the creator of The Sims:
In a friendly, high-speed presentation, Will Wright demos his newest game, Spore, which promises to dazzle users even more than his previous masterpieces. Here Wright encourages users to create not households, as in The Sims, or cities, as in SimCity, but the entire universe, […]

Denne morgens radioavis rapportere om et forslag fra de konservative om mere idræt i skolerne: Danskerne er for fede og vi skal nu lære den gryende befolkning at dyrke motion, med henblik på at sænke fremtidens sygehusudgifter. Dansk folkeparti, de radikale og socialdemokraterne er elle vilde. Forslaget har flertal.
Personligt mener jeg forslaget i sin argumentation […]
From the Economist.com, comes this at a glance insight: Money does make happy: Rich countries are more happy then poor countries.
This view on happiness is of cause a bit naive and there are certainly many reasons why it does not apply on the individual level for intra-cluster correlations (i.e. it would be an ecological fallacy […]
fra politikens anmeldelse af “order of the phoenix”:
Ligesom Emma Watson (som Hermione) og Rupert Grint (sidekammeraten Ron) er Daniel Radcliffe som Harry selv bogstaveligt vokset med opgaven gennem alle fem film, nu en fattet ung mand og fordelagtigt umulig at forveksle med Danmarks kulturminister. (Min fremhævning)

pertaining to the previous post, I just couldn’t help but to make a small comparative study of feelings in London and Liverpool. According to We feel fine the top 5 significant comparatively distinct feealings for those two cities (compared to average of the world is):
Londoners feel
Sure: 3,9 times the normal
Ill: 3,1 times the normal
Fine: 2,3 […]
I’ve been playing around with jaiku and pownce lately (discarded twitter from the start - got a pownce invite through jaiku). And I must admit that I really don’t get it (apparently lifehacker feels the same): While these applications might appeal to the attention seeking internet phalanx of pubescence – I fail to se why […]
I found (via stumbleUpon) this comparative view on U.S. presidents since 1945 and up to the midterms in 2007. The article hardly has any text, so the readers can pretty much interpret themselves. Below a detailed look on Ronald Reagan’s approval ratings:
Btw: this is a good interview with Reagan from 1975 (Inside Ronald Reagan (who […]
Some clever folks have combined freemind with wikipedia. The result is quite interesting from a learning perspective. For this example I’ve looked up appreciative inquiry on the english wikipedia.
Still: The system needs more work - at least more branches - Ideally I want something more like this (from Maps of Science):

Sir Ken is my new guru and thought leader. This 19 minutes presentation is a marvel of presentation technique, entertainment and a profoundly moving story.
The case is made that we are facing an degree inflation in our education system. That our education system has a too narrow focus on the brain (professors consider their bodys […]
I just gotta copy and paste this from blog.pmarca:
Where are the shareholders’ mansions? CEOs’ home purchases, stock sales, and subsequent company performance by Crocker Liu of Arizona State and David Yermack of NYU.
We study real estate purchases by major company CEOs, compiling a database of the principal residences of nearly every top executive in the […]
OK - this python application for mobile phones looks cool. Context watcher claims to automatically identify separate social and geo contexts:
Every night, the remote location provider scans the location data per user and tries to identify new clusters. This is done based on a context vector (cellid,geolocation,timeofday,dayofweekm,…), taking into account the transitions between […]
Now that I have hit flickr’s free acount limit of 200 photos, i’m considering a change. This useless site list some alternatives. From alexa it seems that Zoomr could be an alternative (zoomr=red; flickr=blue; imageshack=olive):
Other alternative could be 23hq (to small for alexa and google) or photobucket
Google trends hardly shows zoomr??? (dark blue = photbucket; […]
Over at the “this is zimbabwe blog” is found this post, which illustrates the realities of the Zimbabwean hyperinflation.
So one packet of viennas [ed: a local kind of sausage (intonaco)] today could have bought you 39,880 houses just twenty years ago! […] Yes, we can all have a giggle at the numbers while sitting comfortably […]
I want to mention this boing boing post:
a Malawian teenager built a wind power system for his house. As others heard of his work, they and his family members chipped in to improve his system. He now provides lighting for his parents’ home, and battery charging for his neighbors. His blog (with pictures) is wonderful.” […]
CSR seems to be gaining ground: from fast company:
Goldman Sachs, McKinsey and Company, and the United Nations put out reports today highlighting positive links between corporate responsibility and the bottom line.
I’m haven’t read the repport yet, but I guess there might be a causation issues; never the less:
Companies that are ahead of the curve when […]
