Miscellaneous Round-Up

A few items that amused me recently:

POIfriend Spencer Keys is bemused at one of the decidedly not work-safe results of googling for information on Bentham, Mill, and the problems of utilitarianism.

At best tangentially relatedly, I must recommend John Barnes' series of books dealing with the problems of integrating isolated cultures into a galactic metaculture, which starts out on a bleak utilitarian paradise, if you will. The books are A Million Open Doors, Earth Made of Glass, and The Merchants Of Souls.

Finally, in a nice little coincidence, POIfriend Jesse van Herk started work at WeSellBooksOnline today.
