• Golden rules from people who learned them the old-fashioned way. My favorite is Penn's: Don't make deals with paper. Make deals with people.
  
• Deep cluelessness, phone home.

• This one's for math geeks: The number spiral turns up some surprising patterns.
• And as long as we're talking to math geeks: Primes!
• The PBS series Science Now has published past episodes online. They're available for download. This is a really outstanding science series.
  
• Lots of chatter about Wikipedia lately. None of it matters much; the site's tremendously useful, and it's good to find ways to use it better.
• Remember this post? Perhaps I need to become prime minister of Japan.
