I visited 8,000 websites in the month of October—primarily in pursuit of interesting posts and articles for Holy Kaw. To survive looking at so many sites, one must develop ways to decide in a blink if a post is any good. What works best for me is to see if a post has an ordered (1, 2, 3) or bulleted (*) list; if it does, it's probably worth ...

For anyone who doubts the power of the Internet to shine light on darkness, the news of the month is how digital technology helped uncover a secretive group of scientists who suppressed data, froze others out of the debate, and flouted freedom-of-information laws.

Pity celery. Who respects it? For most of us, celery barely counts as food; it’s an excuse for eating ranch dressing, sticks splayed around a bowl of the good stuff. We cover it in peanut butter and stud it with raisins to amuse our children when we really just want their mouths stuck shut.
