Engines of our Ingenuity is a short segment that airs on some NPR affiliates. I first discovered it while I was a graduate student in Houston. (It is produced by the University of Houston's College of Engineering.) I really got to enjoy it, and I missed it when I moved to Pittsburgh.
No to worry, though. Engines of Our Ingenuity is now available as a podcast. You can also subscribe via iTunes, if you care to do so.
Even if you don't, you may want to listen to episode 2316, which discusses Operations Research. It discusses what it is, the origin of the name "operations research" and why this field is important.
If you find that interesting, you can search the entire list of episodes (each tagged with keywords). There is bound to be something of interest to you.

Bad Mood
Well, I accidentally left my iPod home today. I had to listen to the radio, of all things. Can you imagine? "The Costas Minute" is about the lamest waste of radio spectrum I can imagine. Get this: The rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird was made more dynamic by the other players on their teams. He could have been talking about shoelaces; I would be no less interested. What wonders do you think the ride home has in store?
Okay, I just had to get that off my chest.
