The Rise of the Synthesizers. I have some problems with Howard Gardner, which range from his eschewing scientific rigor in investigating learning theories whenever it suits his political views to do so, to writing books that are, at best, unevenly developed arguments.

Accept the wheat, discard the chaff.

CTOvision – Widespread Cyber Espionage: More evidence and what to do about it

Haft of the Spear – Everyone is an analyst

A quality rant that includes -and I quote – “. . . there are not enough short buses in this world to transport these people to crazy town.” Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

Dr. Von – Dispelling a Myth – Public Schools do Better in Math than Private

I am not surprised, statistically speaking, that any study that was constructed adequately so as to compare students on an apples to apples basis would demonstrate these findings. Once you control for intellectual selectivity, or at times, just basic socioeconomic level, the private advantage is lost (Harvard with open admissions would no longer be Harvard, in essence)
