Issue 8! It’s hard to believe that in the past 8 weeks, we’ve put out 32 columns on a wide variety of topics and had fun doing it. After this issue, we are going to take a well-deserved two week vacation, with new material resuming on Jan 9th of 2015. But enough about the future, let’s discuss this week’s offering.
About Comics finishes the two part discussion on how to put technology to work for a comic collection with a detailed presentation of a Microsoft Access database that organizes and cross references over 8000 individual publications. Musings on epistemology and murder mysteries are the subject in this week’s Aristotle to Digital where philosophical ideas from Aristotle and Kant meet the modern detective stories of Poe, Christi, Stout, and Eco. Common Cents presents an unflinching view of the state of today’s labor market, which may just be the grinch that will steal Christmases to come. Rounding out the field in Under the Hood is the most detailed and careful discussion of the Schrodinger and Heisenberg pictures in quantum mechanics of which we are aware.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and may God Bless! See ya in back here on Jan 9th. Enjoy!
