Issue 4: Winter is on the Way

Well temperatures are falling and an amazing amount of snow has fallen across the country.  Poor Buffalo, New York, has been particularly singled out for some of the most intense lake-effect snow to be seen in some time.  Temperatures across the nation seem to be below normal.  Winter seems on the way and eager to get to work.  So we at Blog Wyrm hope that everyone remains warm and safe and is able to enjoy the charms of what can be a difficult season.

This week’s issue will hopefully help your enjoyment as the last few days for really comfortable outdoor activities dwindle.  In About Comics, the second part of the Wild, Weird West covers the really nice work done by Visionary Comics on their Deadlands storyline.  Aristotle to Digital cracks a smile this week with a fun and humorous discussion about one area that artificial intelligence clearly hasn’t been able to come even remotely close to what a human can do – telling a joke.  The column in Common Cents considers the question of what exactly is insurance and reflects on who might benefit by confusing matters of ‘if’ with matters of ‘when’.  Finally, Under the Hood starts a detailed look at time development of quantum systems with a general presentation of the evolution operator.

Enjoy and stay warm.
