I often hear about these gross conflicts of interest in American politics.
Apparently this politician is deciding whether to send immigrants to prison (or deport them), and yet he’s receiving life changing sums of money from the prison companies, who stand to make billions from the legislation.
Does this sort of thing happen in the UK?
Hrmm :/ I’ve bought a bunch of comics from Comixology. I sure hope they don’t disappear!
Oscar’s got his first programming book, and he’s loving learning about the ABCs of the web.

This paper is pretty interesting about how children perceive the world and struggle to distinguish between what they’ve imagined and what’s real. I started reading from the bottom of page 25, about the experiment where kids are asked to imagine a monster in a box, and whether its really there. They say “no”, but then often behave like maybe it is real.
The paper considers a few possible reasons children do this, but also points out that even adults do this! How many of us struggle to go to sleep after watching something disturbing or scary?
What’s happening to the Mac Pro?
