Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Doom Classic hits the App Store – I dearly loved Doom when it came out, and was very proud of playing it all the way through. I can’t imagine, though, playing it on any sort of handset. Bleah.
- Schwarzenegger Gives California Legislature A Hidden Finger – Apparently … it’s real. I’m simultaneously tickled, appalled, and incredulous. Biggest question to my mind — was it “just” the staffers, or was the Governator part of the plan. I certainly wouldn’t put it past him.
- Jon Stewart rips FOX News a new asshole. – A nice analysis of the interaction between Fox News and Fox Not-News-But-All-We-Ever-Advertise.
- #566; Supernatural Collective Nouns. – Just in case you need to know that a group of robots is a “clangor.” Brilliant.
- Lieberman in 1994: Filibuster is ‘unfair’ and it isn’t ‘right’ to use it to obstruct major legislation. – That was then, this is now, and Lieberman seems determined to just be a spoiler.
- Syfy’s Americanization of Being Human Is Just Wrong [Being Human] – I’m still grinding through the first series, and cannot imagine how it would translate to an American production in anything but an abysmal fashion.
- Fox and Friends laugh about heckler telling Nancy Pelosi to ‘burn in hell.’ – Ah, the Culture of Life, and reverence for God’s judgment. It’s all there on Fox.
- SEB Dumb Ass Mother of the Year Candidate: Margery Tannenbaum – Crikey. A well-deserved title.
- NaNoWriMo: This is how I get it done – More sage NaNoWriMo advice, from a guy who’s done it.
- Lieberman says he’ll support GOP candidates in the future – And he still has Democratic committee memberships because …?
- Breaking News – THE DOCTOR WHO SPECIALS ARE LANDING ON BBC AMERICA | TheFutonCritic.com – Woot!
- One Hundred Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do (Part 1) – You’re the Boss Blog – NYTimes.com – I might quibble mildly with a few of these — but if all waiters/resses abided by these, I think it would be a net improvement in the dining experience.
- Gallery – From sanctuary to snake pit: the rise and fall of asylums – Image 1 – New Scientist – Let’s not forget, in California, the role of St Ronald in his “let them be treated by cake” deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill as a budget-cutting measure.
- love all this | Inspired by jeannr, I flowcharted the Beatles… – Nice.
- Illegal to “Vilify” Religion (in a European Union Member, No Less) – Wow. Remind me not to visit Malta.
- ‘Doctor Who’ press conference – “Even though he wins in the end it’s a bitter sweet victory. People die. That’s part of the story we have to tell to go where we’re going.” Yeah, like that’s new … :-)
