Links that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …
- Happy Pi Day!
It’s irrational, but I like it! - “You Will Like Him When He’s Angry” – Jon Stewart Annihilates Jim Cramer
Go, Jon, go! - U.K. stunt pilots narrowly miss passenger jet
Interesting that this happened back last June and is only coming out now. - Partial list of corporate lickspittles who are allowed to know what’s in the secret copyright treaty the Obama administration claims is a matter of “national security”
Agreed — I’m very disappointed by this. Unless there’s some aspect of this I’m not clear on, this lack of transparency is not what we need, or what we were promised. - A Better PDF Reader
I’ve been using FoxIt Reader for several months now, and find it perfectly satisfactory (and much faster to load). Some MS programs that use Adobe PDF’s new Flash-like features cause a problem, but those are few and far between for the moment. - 10 Annoying Habits of a Geeky Spouse
Mercifully, Margie is enough of a geek to forgive me (most) of my sins. - Is Watchmen a box office disappointment? – Den of Geek
It never seemed likely that an R-rated flick, faithfully adapting an Alan Moore graphic novel, would be a box office blockbuster — especially that will and cannot become a “franchise” for the studios. I think it’s doing reasonably well in the theater, and will probably be very strong on home release. - Save money with Linux [Greg Laden’s Blog]: Greg Laden none@example.com
- The Joy of Tech comic… laughter is the best tech support.
It’s all a matter of perspective. - Pam’s House Blend:: Arizona House Decides Women Don’t Have Brains; Approves Abortion Restrictions
Ultimately, that is the crux of the abortion debate: “We don’t trust you to make the right decision, so we’ll make it for you.” - Islam hates women [Pharyngula]
Does “Islam” hate women? Or are the local haters of women finding excuses to legitimize themselves through Islam? - Evolving Recipes Raise Calorie Counts – WSJ.com
Not at all surprising. Most folks will naturally slice a “big” brownie than a small one, thus the brownies-per-pan goes down, the calories-per-brownie go up. - Periodic Table of Typefaces on the Behance Network
It’s fonterrific, and very cool. - Roomba cover resembles monstrous horny toad
This is brilliant. - Pentagon plans to build giant spy zeppelin
It’s probably cheaper than a spy satellite. - When Do We Start Calling Years ‘Twenty-Somethings’?
I’m still waiting for consensus on what we’re calling these years. “Two-thousand-and-nine” is way too many syllables. “Ought-nine” (“Crit!”) seems more likely. “Oh-nine” is less elegant but more likely.
