G’day

  1. Creativity in science and a reply. I’ve been reading David Bently Hart’s new book … in it he remarks that science is an ascetic discipline (mental), in which the discipline is to hold and perfect your thinking to certain methodologies. Perhaps the best way to consider creativity in science, similarly, as  constrained creative process. To narrow down further, you can make a creative chess move, but that isn’t freely open to creativity your movements and options are constrained by the rules.
  2. And here just this weekend, I was joking that if we get a new dog, we’d name him/her “lunchmeat”.
  3. Obamacare compared.
  4. Liberty for all.
  5. A search and rescue in the White House.
  6. I might have to read this to find out what “exact numerical solution” might mean.
  7. Uhm, … duh. Next on from our science reporter, the sun rises in the east and moving air is called “wind”.
  8. Categorizing the senseless.
  9. Heh.
  10. In flight repairs of a unique sort.
  11. Why are we married? A conversation.
  12. Old salty sea stories.
  13. Teaching and competition.
