Dora Maar was a photographer and painter. She was involved with Pablo Picasso and began to imitate his painting style. She was his muse for many years.

Oops, you’re right. Axelrod it was. Fixed in the text.

Looks like a good plan. I like the idea of a generic interactive unit and I also appreciate that you are building on your previous work.

Nice work! I could be mistaken but wasn’t it Axelrod who hosted the IPD tournaments starting~1979?

Comment on PDF11 – The Elephants in the Room by David Joerg

Very interesting.

I was especially interested by the point about America’s loss of pre-eminence. I think that has bigger causes, and effects, than the Internet or even the will of the people.

Many Americans take America’s pre-eminence for granted, which causes them to miss some important things:
* What America ought to do to stay successful (eg immigration reform, get our financial house in order, fix healthcare) — generally be nationally competitive and be serious about adopting best practices among nations.
* The past 50 years of economic growth, housing price increase, share price increase etc are unlikely to continue. When someone forecasts the next 30 years of asset price growth based only on America’s 50 or 80 years of recent history, you should smack them with a History Stick. And then a Sample Size Stick for good measure.
