Problems in Scientific Thinking.1: Theory influences observations.2: The observer changes the observed.3: Observational tools or systems construct results.Problems in Pseudoscientific Thinking.4: Anecdotes do not make science.5: The use of scientific jargon does not make science.6: Bold statements do not make claims true.The more extraordinary the claim, the more extraordinarily well tested it

Things like: Legos (lego technics inspired this blog), JavaScript development, Xplanet, maps, Paremetric shape drawing, photography, Game Theory for social network design, DIY projects, books like Paolo Soleri's "Arcology", Paul Ormerod's "Why Most Things Fail", Edward
