My other blogs
I've blogged in many different places. Here are some of them:
I'm very proud of War or Car, where I posted a new thing you could buy for the price of the Iraq War everyday, for 121 days. This was during the 2008 elections, and I was glad that the antiwar candidate won. The site got its name because you could buy every American household a Toyota Prius for the $3 trillion price of the war. Or you could buy the Irish their annual beer intake, in Guinness, for a millennium. Or you could buy all the world's pandas their own personal stealth bombers!
Probably my greatest era of internet awesomeness was guestblogging for Ezra Klein long before he achieved his current superstardom at Vox. My posts there are pretty scattered, so they'll be hard to find. My work for Ezra catapulted me into other opportunities like filling in for Kevin Drum at the Washington Monthly. After that from 2008 to 2015, my friend Nick Beaudrot and I wrote a blog called Donkeylicious. As the name suggests, it was largely about Democratic politics.
During the 2012 elections, I created a little blog called VoteSeeing that tabulated election predictions and graded predictors on how well they did. The folks at Daily Kos Elections won the prediction contest, with Nate Silver and FiveThirtyEight a close second. Shortly afterward, a group of philosophers at a blog called NewAPPS got me to put up a few posts for them.
This post at the Philosophers' Cocoon has more about my job at the National University of Singapore, where I'm a philosophy professor.

Heh. If you read the comments another fellow blogger lays out all the physics as to why it won't work. But I just thought it was funny that someone pulled together a whole well-designed website for this harebrained idea.
It doesn't matter that it wouldn't work. I love ideas like this, where many people in the world do a thing at the same time, mindful of important things. It's a form of communion. No harm in that.
We need to make some dadalegs.
Yeah physics say it won't work.. but who knows, it might work. It is a great idea, it shows that if we where attacked by aliens, we would probably be able to gather forcer to kill em´ all
Ha! Aliens would slaughter us! Unless they are stupid like in Independance Day, but thats the only way we'd stand a chance. Read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to get a real sense of insignifigance
But yeah the Physics don't line up at all. And if we were all jumping up and down like fools we'd be to busy laughing at ourselves to notice the aliens sneak up untill its too late
