End of the Academic Year

May 22nd, 2009

Good morning, readers!

I’m curious to know if any readers have been using Wolfram|Alpha, and what they think of it.  I have only used it a little bit so far.  From my (limited) experience, it seems a great engine for quantitative data.  Not quite the Google killer that some made it out to be, but definitely a useful auxiliary search engine.

In other news: there is a two-day conference on themes from the political philosophy of T.M. Scanlon in the UK this coming weekend.

Once I’m done with the end of term (today), I should have more time to write more in-depth posts starting next week.  Please feel free to send me ideas.  I have some, but I’d love to hear from readers.
