When someone describes you as "a guy who once more-or-less worked for you" does that say more about the manager or the subordinate? Should a manager tolerate that kind of behavior?

When you are obsessively focused on organizing as I am @TDOBook you dont pass up opportunities to make the world more orderly

Sensible categories for "days" are "each day is different", or "weekday" vs. "weekend" - how BestBuy does it makes no sense

I am thrilled that @scottabel likes @TDOBook but he's pointed to the 2013 first edition (print). We've done three major revisions since, including an "informatics" version that includes many data science topics (see disciplineoforganizing.org and bit.ly/2AUmv5n ).

Cognitive science and common sense tells us that naming is biased and contentious, but now we must forget that and bow to the naming gods at Google, who alone can decide what to call a place...even if no one has ever used that name before. boingboing.net/2018/08/02/if-… #cogsci190

At #CogSci2018 we announced Micki Chi as the 2019 recipient of the Rumelhart Prize... and one minute later our crack web team updated the web site so you can read about her! bit.ly/2K3WLT5

Later today at #CogSci2018 I will award this Rumelhart Prize medal to Mike Tanenhaus... Dave Rumelhart was my thesis advisor at UCSD in 1979.

Asad, why does it surprise you that I'm at #CogSci2018 to award the Glushko (and Rumelhart) prizes? It would only be a surprise if I didn't!

At #CogSci2018 I met 4 of the 5 recipients of the Glushko Prize for outstanding Phd theses. (bit.ly/2vrypkk). Melody Dye (@moximer), Eric Schulz, Sagi Jaffe-Dax, and @chazfirestone. Michelle Spierings couldn’t attend. A promising future for cognitive science!

For the 2nd time in a month a tour bus has made an unplanned stop by getting stuck trying to climb Laguna St at Broadway in San Francisco. Time for some driver education.

I was confused at first when I saw this sign because this morning I had shared a Dropbox folder...then I realized that "dropbox" and "fold" were homonyms #cogsci190

It is audacious of Alaska Airlines to market this routing (OAK -> Seattle -> Hawaii) and incomprehensible that anyone would be stupid enough to buy a ticket. But as my father used to say "Half of the people are below average in IQ"...
