Mind Reading. "The new science of decision making. It's not as rational as you think." And nor is this article a piece of fluff. The research here is about behavioral economics--trying to model what people actually do instead of what they should do. Oh, and also one of the guys in charge of the experiment was one of my undergraduate profs.
The urban maze. Um, if the author of this article wanted to get to Caltech, he shouldn't have called a cab. He should have called a door-to-door shuttle service. Not only is it cheaper, they also know where the institution is.
Circle of clichés. "Tom Payne's guide to the words that reviewers and publishers love too much." I guess I'll have to be extra careful when I round up my thoughts for the "Recent Reading" at the end of the week.
