Syndication Migration

As part of my ongoing effort to make Grumpicus.com my main blog, I’ve moved all of my syndicated feeds over there. I’ll still be using this site as my tumblelog, of course, but I’ll be going back to only posting interesting and amusing links that I don’t necessarily feel compelled to bookmark or digg. I thought about syndicating the grumpicus.com feed back to here but decided against it. After all, if you wanted to see all of that stuff, you would just head over there yourself.

New GWJ thread: DMN releases never-seen-before materials related to the JFK assassination.

I just created a new thread over at Gamers With Jobs.

I always say to people, practice an art, no matter how well or badly [you do it], because then you have the experience of becoming, and it makes your soul grow.

New GWJ thread: Presidency a big job for one person

Marketplace: Presidency a big job for one person: Heard this last night. I was going to put it in the big blog but I’m too tired to come up with any interesting commentary to add. You don’t need to listen; just read the text. It’s not that long but it is interesting.

Decisions, decisions, decisions

In The Dilbert Blog: Making Decisions, Scott Adams almost endorses Obama. What I found interesting, though, was the explanation of his thought process.
I’m fascinated by how people make decisions when faced with lots of unknowns, such as when they pick a presidential candidate to support.
The usual method, as far as I can tell, is to […]
