This is Cornell University professor Jeff Hancock in 2006. Prof. Hancock has studied online behavior; in particular - the tendency to lie on social networking sites, online dating sites, and, I think, the tendency to lie a little less on...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/livejournal/MAIg/~4/oDnu0zKS7Gg" height="1" width="1"/>

I hope everybody had as nice a Fourth of July as I did! I was going to write about how this holiday terrorizes our pets. Badger is still in hiding!

SFWA, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, for whom I am serving as Treasurer this year, has launched its new website.

OK, Typelogic says that Michael Jackson was an ISFP - or "Intuitive Sensing Feeling Perceiving" type of person. I honestly think this is based on the fact that Michael was a lifelong performer.

I'm not a regular reader of Boing-Boing. But it seems to me that whenever I look at it, I'm inspired to say, WTF???

This is it, I swear. My You Tube obsession knows no bounds. First, Michael Jackson DID have vitiligo, and it was the height of cruelty for people to continue to indicate he cosmetically whitened his skin.
