If anyone knows of Boston-area peeps looking for a car, send 'em my way! I'm selling my 2003 Mazda Protege5 wagon, with only 18k miles on it, for $8,500 or B.O.
More deets in the Craigslist ad which is here. My profile address is good, or just answer the ad!
My latest on Grist is up. I'm definitely breaking a story here, though not a major one. Attack on industrial wind puffed with false peer review claims Basically the author created her own imprint to self-publish a book, sought out peer reviewers via the imprint she controlled, and then got media attention she would otherwise have been unable to obtain by claiming her work had been reviewed by a valid peer review process.
FYI: If anyone out there is a long-time customer of Comcast cable tv, and there is a competing cable/dish/AT&T company in your market, you might want to contact Comcast to see if they'll offer you a discount.

2 new entries for You'll All Pay
These are not the usual stuff, folks. Frankly, they're pieces I wrote for a couple of college classes. But I think they have some good ideas in them, so I'm tossing them out in the aether of the Internets for any and all to peruse.
Lucky you, you get invited first.
It's two entries, as I said, so read one then scroll down and read the other. If you want.
