We saw Michael Pollan speak at MSU last night. This article does a good job of summarizing his talk at Tufts, which looks like it was very similar to the one we heard at MSU: http://tuftsjournal.tufts.edu/2009/04_1/features/01/. He caught me off guard with his criticism of nutritional science: “Nutritional science is fascinating, but sort of where surgery was [...] I’m looking forward to reading Leap, based on what I’ve read so far at the Blog of Tim Ferriss. According to Leap, Bill Gates and many other seemingly crazy entrepreneurs didn’t really risk much at all when they started their companies. They took calculated risks and leveraged opportunities while simultaneously working their arses off. I never new that Mary [...] Nine years ago — time sure does fly.

Half the revenue from the edition will be donated to the Global Fund to Fight Aids. Published: 16 May 2006 May I say without guile, I am as sick [...] Since this is the 36th anniversary of the shootings at Kent State, I thought I would link to this article about an incident that occurred several days after the shootings, in which a drunken motorist ran his car into a group of peace protesters marching from MSU to the capital in Lansing. “A motorist injured 10 young people when he swerved [...] Sometimes as a parent it helps to try and step back, look at the big picture, and evaluate your parenting style in hopes of making changes for the better.
