  • Distracted parenting<\/a> is a problem, obviously. But, despite the horrible tragedies described, it’s not clear how big a problem it is. Mobile devices free parents up to do more things with kids and to supervise them more. I will let on, however, that they can occupy your attention. I was at a park when a kid broke his arm and didn’t notice immediately because of my phone. Don’t know if it would have been different with my kid.<\/li>\n
  • I’m really looking forward to reading Nate Silver’s<\/a> book.<\/li>\n
  • Statues<\/a> at the bottom of the sea. Amazing. And heart-breaking, when you think of what they represent.<\/li>\n
