“Do not kid yourself for a second that you do not have the ability to impact another person’s life in whatever role you choose,” Feehan said. “For all of us here, opportunities have only just begun to present themselves — offering a chance to use your good to influence in the face of adversity.”

That little Tumblarity thing in the right column of the dashboard inevitably makes me think of Tumblality, the number of subatumblic particles in a kilogram of solvent.

In adults, this skill is often referred to as metacognition, or thinking about thinking, and it’s what allows people to outsmart their shortcomings. (When Odysseus had himself tied to the ship’s mast, he was using...

I think likely.
I just sat through a one hour webinar/conference call/press conference demonstration by Stephen Wolfram and was captivated for most of it.

Can we declare a moratorium on “The [Obscure Job Title]’s [Wife/Daughter]” as a book title? It’s way too hard to keep them all straight. My default assumption is that they are all secretly the same book.
Did this all come about as a result of The Arsonist’s Daughter, the novel-within-a-novel in Michael Chabon’s Wonder Boys?
I lost nine Tumblarity points today what the heck. I didn’t do anything different, guys!
