As I’ve mentioned in the past, I am somewhat loyal listener to Chris Gondak’s podcast—The Invisible Hand. It’s a podcast that reviews new business and economics books by interviewing the author.

Management Rewired
September 8, 2010Is H1N1 worse than the regular flu? And if so, why?
November 18, 2009The titles to this blog post partially summarize my current thinking about the H1N1 craze that is fully taking over. I am still listening to No Agenda, and taking their words under advisement (not blindly following). But where are the true stats that really say that this is worse than the seasonal flu? Mainstream media [...]
H1N1 (swine flu) and facebook
October 28, 2009Well as flu vaccine season comes to Canada we are seeing some back and forth on whether the H1N1 flu vaccine should be given or not. Some say it is untested, and some question whether the adjuvants used to boost the power of vaccines may cause more problems. As for H1N1 itself, the jury is [...]
Balsillie to face the NHL
May 7, 2009Just to put it out there, I’m a big fan of Jim Balsillie. I know that the NHL does not want to put another team in Canada, especially southern Ontario, but it really makes too much sense. Here is a guy with a bunch of money, that wants to bring NHL hockey to his town. [...]
The Swine Flu Virus Cometh
May 1, 2009The swine flu is making headlines around the world. Is there a reason to fear? Or is it just more media scare? Very good questions.

September 24, 2008Rick Merritt from EETimes has some numbers on how the Silicon Valley technology companies are funding the candidates. Looks like Obama has the edge in most categories but not all. Article here: http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/210603035
Science Debate ’08
September 15, 2008Ah-hah, this is what I’ve been looking for. A real indication of what the prospective candidates think of the Science and Innovation. A group of organisations got together and formed a list of 14 fundamental questions to ask the candidates. And fortunately, both Obama and McCain have obliged with their (very long) comments. I’ll analyze [...]
Germophobia and the allergic state of the nation.
September 5, 2008Loring Wirbel provides good commentary on the current state of the war on germs and disease. If people would just have a read of Guns, Germs, and Steel, and see that being exposed to certain germs and building our immune system–especially when we are young–is very important to us living here on Earth. We can [...]
