locussolus - Irrational escalation of commitment

August 1, 2006

1. If you can stick with it Sean Carroll has a fascinating discussion about the anthropic principle and the direction of time.

2. Tyler Cowen links to a Wikipedia entry about a crazy dollar auction that for some reason seems apropos of my post below.

3. We just got a new stove, and this recipe for fried chicken looks awfully good. I'll report back...

And we'll see those pictures of the new stove on FLICKR when?

Yeah, yeah, I have to do the same thing for ours. I'll do that tonight, I promise.

Well it doesn't look so hot at the moment because the electrician put the outlet in the wrong place, and the stove won't fit where it belongs (the fool did this after looking at the stove's schematics). We'll have that fixed soon, though.

so glad you posted the cosmic variance link -- it's slow going but I'm enjoying the slog. ;)

thanks.
