We live in a foolish world! I can’t stand it! I must speak out!

Announcing …: The Journal of Financial Technology. Hurrah; the first dedicated academic venue for all your fintech-related research. And it’s free and open-access.
I’m a fraud, get me out of here!: Insecure? Feel stupid? Read this.
Notes on academic writing: Your ideas are immortal—if anybody can understand them. Not just a "how to", but personal notes on technical writing based on my own experience so far.
