Here are the three articles I&#8217;ve managed to glean from around the web in April. This article from the Pacific Standard magazine covers a paper whose authors examined the obituaries of over 1,000 famous people published in The New York [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the MOOC courses I&#8217;m taking on Coursera, Learn to Program: Crafting Quality Code, has effectively ended. It was taught by professors Jennifer Campbell and Paul Gries of the University of Toronto. It is by a large margin, the most disappointing of the online courses I&#8217;ve taken so far. What follows is a long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been busy with programming stuff since Algorithms II just started up. The first assignment involved processing WordNet graphs. The second assignment involved implementing seam carving, also known as content-aware resizing. Anyway that&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve been browsing less lately and so have fewer articles. Here we go: IBM&#8217;s Watson supercomputer made the news in 2011 [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s actually one peer assessment yet to go and it will probably be a few weeks until the course staff tabulates and releases the results, but all of the serious work is over. I wanted to get this post written before I start on two new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been remiss in updating due to being busy on the Coursera site. I&#8217;m currently taking the Programming Languages course from Dan Grossman of the University of Washington. It has a strong focus on functional programming, a paradigm that is completely new to me. It&#8217;s pretty amazing to learn about these powerful programming idioms that [...]]]></description>

Here goes: We&#8217;ll start with the most important piece of news that made the rounds this month, though more often in editorial than science circles.

Le Guin&#8217;s Earthsea series ever since high school but I&#8217;ve read precious few of her more substantial Hainish Cycle novels. The Left Hand of Darknes, originally [...]]]></description>

The first one is on a subject that Hiew actually forwarded to me earlier in the month. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
