Miscelleaneous

No particular excuse, just things I've been reading this week and might want to look at again later.

Bronte Capital: one to watch, not necessarily for conoisseurs of fraud (Mr. Big Wells? that's a bit weak), but it'll be interesting to find out if he's right about the bigger fish he mentions at the end.
LOLFed: This is probably quite good news about the US economy.
Language Log: Investors' Business Daily presumably confused by Hawking speech synthesiser
Krugman: Affinity Fraud - Bernie Maddof and the Birthers I love Krugman when he's rolling his eyes.
Language Log: Korean alphabet adopted by miniority Indonesian tribe for writing and preserving aboriginal language. Schoolbooks published. Heartwarming!
