Useful or interesting links

Just a list of web places I like. Building it over time so stop by later if it’s short.

• Earliest Uses of Some Words of Mathematics.
• Andrew Gelman’s statistical lexicon.
• Steele’s rant on advice for graduate students in statistics. The focus is on statistics, but the advice is broadly applicable.
• References to dispel common statistical misconceptions. Go there to see if you have some misconceptions or to prove that someone else has some.
• Hundred Rabbits is an artist collective run out of a boat. They have really interesting computer science ideas about adapting computing to boat life where connections are bad and power is limited. Do read the essay on weathering software winter and the one on computing and sustainability. Made me want to make up my own virtual machine as well.
