http://skepstat.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 2, 2007. Why I am a JavaScript master. Here at SkepStat, we try to stay abreast of the important news stories of the day. That's why I'm here, posting fewer than two weeks after my previous post (! To discuss this amazing news: Study: Initials may impact performance. After appearing on the wires, this story was picked up and published by any number of news outlets. It's based on a study published in the December issue of Psychological Science. MonikerMaladies: When Names Sabotage Success.

SkepStat: September 2007
http://skepstat.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 14, 2007. No thanks, I don't need any treatment. I've got a resonant bond! Sorry about the long delay since my last post. I've been getting my chakras realigned. But I'm back, with a treat. Today we'll be enjoying a woo-woo challenge to clinical trials methodology, in the form of Resonance, Placebo Effects, and Type II Errors: Some Implications from Healing Research for Experimental Methods. Published in The Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Well, we need to start with ...

Pediatric Grand Rounds Updates and Archive: August 2006
http://pgrarchive.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Pediatric Grand Rounds Updates and Archive. This is the archive of past editions of the Pediatric Grand Rounds, a monthly collection of the best posts pertaining to the health of children. Monday, August 28, 2006. Volume 1 Edition 10. I couldn't tell you why for sure, when I was a youngster, though, my brother and I (especially during the time mother was gestating child number three) were rather dramatic. Were we trying to get (more) attention? And people just send you fun facts to know and tell! PGRREP ...

Free Thinking Joy: The difference is not that great
http://freethinkingjoy.blogspot.com/2008/03/difference-is-not-that-great.html
Dare it, do it, because a smart mind will live much better with the real stuff than with a placebo called religion - welcome to the joy of freethought. Monday, 10 March 2008. The difference is not that great. Most theists and most atheists have more in common than most people may think. At least more than may be assumed when following all the god-vs-no-god disputes in the books and in the blogosphere. I think that the relevance of these discussions is much overrated. Where the difference begins. The fund...

Free Thinking Joy: No basic need for a creation
http://freethinkingjoy.blogspot.com/2008/04/no-basic-need-for-creation.html
Dare it, do it, because a smart mind will live much better with the real stuff than with a placebo called religion - welcome to the joy of freethought. Monday, 14 April 2008. No basic need for a creation. It seems that dumb documentary films are booming these days. There has been the ineffable Fitna. In the Netherlands. And there is the ineffable Expelled. I am disappointed. Shame on them! Shouldn't we go back to the very basic questions? The basic formula of creation. Be it as it may, all these concepts...

Free Thinking Joy: As time flies by faster and faster
http://freethinkingjoy.blogspot.com/2008/05/as-time-flies-by-faster-and-faster.html
Dare it, do it, because a smart mind will live much better with the real stuff than with a placebo called religion - welcome to the joy of freethought. Friday, 2 May 2008. As time flies by faster and faster. Maybe you are not yet aware of it, but if you'll approach my age, that is, in the second half of your life, you inevitably will come to the impression that time hurries up faster than before. Memory is the key. A recent experiment of David M. Eagleman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Free Thinking Joy: Religion is mental horror vacui
http://freethinkingjoy.blogspot.com/2008/02/religion-is-mental-horror-vacui.html
Dare it, do it, because a smart mind will live much better with the real stuff than with a placebo called religion - welcome to the joy of freethought. Tuesday, 26 February 2008. Religion is mental horror vacui. Nature does not fear empty space. So why should we fear empty space in our knowledge? I think that mental fear of vacuum is as unjustified as fear of vacuum is unreal in the physical world. Last week I have shown why I see gaps in knowledge not as a weakness but a strength of science. Praunheim's...

Free Thinking Joy: Commission ascribes dignity to spinach
http://freethinkingjoy.blogspot.com/2008/04/commission-ascribes-dignity-to-spinach.html
Dare it, do it, because a smart mind will live much better with the real stuff than with a placebo called religion - welcome to the joy of freethought. Monday, 21 April 2008. Commission ascribes dignity to spinach. Does this sound like a joke? It seems that the philosophers and theologians have been the leading spokespersons in these discussions and that the natural science fraction has not managed to keep things down to earth.
