		where great ideas come from your ticket to join the creative class by joe procopio (@jproco) topic: humor 7.5.06 • CLASSIC

In case you haven't noticed, we're trying to kick it up a notch here at Intrepid, what with all the books we have coming out and the public appearances and the pacts with Satan. I've learned that if you want attention, you need to either scream profanity in a Burger King or say something relevant. Either way, it can't just be about looks. Although if it were, McHenry, Von Euw, Kelley, Millen, and Thomas would make us a fortune. Someday they'll do that calendar. But until then, we've got to use read on

		shut up! sit down! sometimes sharing is not caring by adam kraemer (@DryWryBred) topic: pop culture 1.12.09 • CLASSIC

As I was reading the latest issue of Time Out New York (thanks, mom!) on the subway this morning, I turned to an article called something like, "What Your Trainer Is Really Thinking." It was basically the results of a poll the TONY people took among personal trainers in NYC. I won't not bore you with the details, but I did notice one question regarding what people tell their trainers (similar, they said, to what people tell their bartenders or hairdressers). And I quote: That their balls were t read on

kids need to read
a progressive nonprofit inspiring imagination

10.27.11 • CLASSIC

The next time you pick up a book to read, hold on to that feeling of anticipation for a moment.

Then imagine what it would be like to not experience that sensation. Close your eyes to the characters who speak to you, make you cry, force you to think. Try to forget the story that leaves you with a "book hangover" the next day because you stayed up much too late into the night to finish it. Ignore the destinations you've visited, cultures you've explored, theories you've tested.

With one click, you know you can order any book you want. Children should also have such easy access to books. Unfortunately, some don't.

The charitable organization Kids Need to Read (KNTR) opens up a world of endless possibilities to children through literacy. Founded by author PJ Haarsma, actor Nathan Fillion, and executive director Denise Gary, KNTR provides children with books through school and community programs. In this extensive interview, Gary details why the demand is so great, how the program works, and the many ways we can help.

		constructing the underdog, part vi: health care we all could use it, but who should pay for it? by jeffrey d. walker topic: news 6.20.08 • CLASSIC

This article is part a series intended to foster open discussions on the issues as we get set to elect the next President of the United States. See more info about the concept here. You're invited to add your two-cents by joining the discussion. It seems like forever ago that I wrote an article with the name Mike Huckabee in it, but really, it was only in January. By March, Huckabee's campaign ended. Three months later (earlier this month), Hillary Clinton ended her campaign. And so, with read on

		pascal's wager a geek chick takes on cynicism by maigen thomas (@Maigen) topic: general 9.27.10 • CLASSIC

There is a phenomenon known as the Gambler's Fallacy, and it occurs when a person who is gambling in one form or another - and losing - chooses to believe that he is "due a win", based on the idea that luck would develop a bias the other way, to compensate. The Gambler's Fallacy is often relied upon in accordance with a variation of the Law of Small Numbers – mistakenly assuming that a small sample of actions or examples is indicative of or accurately reflects the proportion with which any give read on
