N. :: Simpson's Paradox (Chinalyst - China blogs in English)

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 03:08:00 GMT

Barbie just introduced me to N., a Stephen King story, about a psychiatrist and his patient, who might be saving the world or just garden-variety insane. The story is intriguing and it’s been turned into a series of short, comic book-style videos (adapted by one of the Eli Stone guys, too). It’s completely addictive, each segment is so short that you’re left panting to see what happens...

Sorry - no book review today (A Girl's Guide to Managing Projects)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:41:26 GMT

I should have had a book review for you today, but I haven’t finished reading Communication Skills for Project and Programme Managers. I’ve been finding it hard to put down Stephen King’s La Ligne Verte (The Green Mile). It’s the longest thing I’ve ever attempted in French, the first Stephen King I’ve ever read, and [...]

i thought i was the only one (WWdN: In Exile)

wil@wilwheaton.net (Wil Wheaton) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:27:58 GMT

Eventually, I get stuff to Andrew and we start working together to hammer out the final draft, but I write my first draft with the door closed, as Stephen King advises, and it can be a lonely time, with Self Doubt and the Inner Critic dropping in uninvited and unannounced from time to time to mess with me before the real fun starts. ... It's tremendously reassuring to know that some obstacle...

Union authorization cards and the Employee Free Choice Act (Dorf on Law)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:31:00 GMT

I am not much of a fan of horror fiction. I do not read Stephen King. When I am in the mood for a mix of something scary stupid however, I need only open the pages of the Wall Street Journal and read the editorials and opinions. One of today's Journal horror stories is an op-ed by Bernie Marcus, the founder of Home Depot, in which he rails against a proposed piece of legislation called...

Dissertation (Quantity Over Quality)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:33:55 GMT

Today I completed the first chapter of my dissertation, listing the different ways in which child death is occluded in the work of Stephen King with reference to the Gothic tradition. What I hoped to achieve with this dissertation was for each point to be reflexive and illuminating, and as each argument slotted into the discussion, new beams of understanding would be cast through the...
