Thanksgiving: November 11, 2007

Today, I'm thankful for The New Yorker. This afternoon, I read both Malcolm Gladwell's "Dangerous Minds" about how the FBI profilers work, which suggests that profilers use the same cold reading tactics that psychics do, and Bill Buford's "Extreme Chocolate" (abstract, not full article, available online), which is a fascinating look at Dagoba and the chocolate growing industry in Brazil.
