Dangerous Irrelevant Variables

I have been reading Principles of Condensed Matter Physics this summer and ran across section 5.8.8 entitled Dangerous irrelevant variables. The world of theoretical physics is indeed a strange one.

Remember what the internet was created for? So researchers could share data. No really. Perhaps this one post wont change that the internet is 99% porn and shopping, but oh well. I can not more highly recommend The Science of Scientific Writing by Gopen and Swan.

If technical writing is part of your professional life (reading or writing) then you must go read this.

If techinical writing is a part of your personal life you probably should read this.

If technical writing is not part of your personal or professional life, but you do read or write from time to time, then it couldn't hurt to go read this.
