The Internet Found the Atlantic Salmon
The last 72 hours have seen an incredible increase in traffic here at prefrontal.org. To sum it up in a single sentence: the site has received as many hits in the last three days as it has during the past two years. Yeah, really. My activity graph on the Wordpress Dashboard looks [...]

It is for this reason that I try to avoid political discussion on prefrontal.org. Every weblog must have a focus, and there are more [...]
