Keep up the wonderful work."—John Allen Paulos, Professor of Mathematics at Temple University, and bestselling author of Innumeracy, Beyond Numeracy, A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper, Once Upon a Number, and A Mathematician Plays the Stockmarket.

"It is a great honor to be mentioned in one of my two ONLY portals to the internet—and the world, since I do not read newspapers. My discipline, to avoid drowning in information, is not to cruise the web outside of these two points. I tried many sites; yours has CHARM."—Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan. [The other site NNT is referring to is the excellent Arts & Letters Daily.]

..is it any wonder that the blog, "Three Quarks Daily"":

On this website, my guest authors and editors and I hope to present interesting items from around the web on a daily basis, in the areas of science, design, literature, current affairs, art, and anything else we deem inherently fascinating. We want to provide you with a one-stop intellectual surfing experience by culling good stuff from all over and putting it in one place. In other words, we are what has come to be known as a "filter blog". And we try not to be afraid of challenging material

hosts some powerful posts, like this one, turning us onto prophetic subversive artwork like:
