Links

Since I haven't posted in a while, I thought I would link to the (my) pieces I particularly like:

In praise of skimming: A reply to Nicholas Carr's "Is Google making us stupid?"

Why do the "best and the brightest" high school students in the U.S. suffer from math-phobia while those in India don't? An analysis of the styles of pedagogy.

The process of sight-seeing (navigating) with a guidebook.

The strange street-signs of Madrid and what they tell us about the importance of context for interpretation.

A review of "Dreaming in Code" by Scott Rosenberg.
