Discussion article for the meetup : Pittsburgh Meetup
This will be hopefully the first of many bi-weekly meetups in Pittsburgh.
We will do a few simple surprise activities, present some of the stuff the hosts learned at the LW minicamp earlier this year, and then open it up for a discussion of what we all want to schedule for this year.
Also, there will be free snacks and drinks! Afterwards, we're going to go out to dinner and everyone is welcome to tag along. If you can't come exactly at the start, that's fine, you will be able to jump right in anyway.
We'll be hosting it at Josh Albrecht's apartment (which is comfortably large enough for 10 to 15 people). The address is 151 N Craig St, Apt 7C. Call his cell phone when you get here if you cant get in (585 506 6900).

Little Johny Bayesian
Followup to: Rationalist Storybooks: A Challenge
This was originally a comment in response to a challenge to create a nursery rhyme conveying rationality concepts, but, at the suggestion of Eliezer, I've made it into its own post.
Little Johny thought he was very bright,
But the schoolkids did not -- they would laugh when he came in sight.
He could count, sing, and guess the weather.
Then one day, Big Bill said "Real bright boys will grow a feather."
"Ach!" he cried, "Could it be true?"
"Then I'm not bright, which makes me blue."
So he went home, and searched all over.
And then found growth on his head, clear as a clover.
