Spec at Sploggerheads

Here we go again: the Spectator is currently planning an overhaul of their website (for those curious, it’ll be the third such overhaul in four years). An email to Spec staff reveals that the new homepage will squash all of their current Splogs (check out our coverage here) into one giant mega-Splog to supplement the print edition–you know, a Voltron/Megazord kind of deal. Onward, new media!

Meet the New Splog

Oh look, the Spectator has launched its latest venture into the blogosphere.

This one’s called Spectacle, and it’s an arts and entertainment blog. Ahoy, Spectacle! (Fun fact: years ago, Spec‘s entire A&E section used to be called “Spectacle.”) So far there’s been disparate chatter about movies, video games, and food, among other things.

Fare thee well, Spectacle. May you be spared the terrible fate of Splogs past.


CU Economist sez: Women are Psycho, Men are Rational, Sky is Blue

From “Revealed Preference Determinants of Mate Selection: Evidence from an Experimental Dating Market“:

“We find that male behavior is very well explained by a simple model date-quality maximization. By contrast, we find a number of patterns in female choices that are inconsistent with this model.”

No wonder they call it the dismal science.

Funky abstract after the jump. (Hat tip: Splog)
