Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Eide Neurolearning Blog: Brain of the Blogger – Blogging — it’s good for me, and for you!
- M97: The Owl Nebula
- Empathy as the Enemy | People For the American Way Blog – Gosh, when you think of cold, hard, cruel judges, meting out the law without passion or feeling, they usually are pretty darned conservative, too. (It’s also noteworthy that the Right assumes “empathy” means only for defendants, not, say, victims of crime.)
- Surprise: Fox leaning toward ‘Dollhouse’ renewal–The Live Feed – Will they? Won’t they? Or will they just erase our memories and make us forget the show ever existed?
- YouTube sails out of safe harbor to reinstate marriage video – Ars Technica – Overly belabored metaphors aside, this is pretty interesting stuff. If Google follows through, it could blunt some of the more egregious examples of DMCA abuse. Or maybe NOM just offered to indemnify them.
- FTC nukes “extended warranty” robocallers from orbit – Ars Technica – Can we ban these people from EVERY USING THE TELEPHONE AGAIN? It would be pretty to think so.
- Hoyer and Cantor forget to take ‘AIPAC’ off file name of letter to Obama on Middle East peace.: Ben Armbruster
- Buggy breathalyzer code reflects importance of source review – But it’s a Magic Box Used by the Police! How could it be anything but infallible?
- Ann Coulter Knows the Real Reason Why Liberals Don’t Like Miss California – Ann Coulter jumps the shark from being insane to just being pathetically insecure.
- Swine flu search poisoning – Wow. It’s one thing to trap folks seaching for pr0n into malware sites, it’s another thing to trap folks searching for public health info. That’s seriously bad karma, dudes.
- You might be surprised (and infected) if you search for nude Rihanna pics – Caveat spectator.
- Check. This. Out. Amazing photo of the Sun… – Suh-weet!
- Atheists Not Fully Human – Wow. At best, he’s expressing stuff in an asinine fashion — one can assert that seeking the transcendent is an essential part of the human experience without saying that folks who don’t believe that “aren’t fully human.” At worst, this is the sort of (literal) dehumanization that leads to the auto de fe.
- 382 – Two Eggs and a Kidney: Regional World Cities – Simplistic, but an interesting way of looking at things.
- Daydreaming brains are afire – I can so believe this. In fact, I think it’s that very activity that makes daydreaming so distracting from what you, er, I, should really be doing.
- Fake DHS “photography license” for fake no-photos laws – Yeah, that’s great — until the cops start hassling people because they don’t have one.
- Guatemala: “El Efecto Streisand,” Update on Twitter User Arrested For One Tweet On Political/Financial Crisis – Wow. Looks like a great reason to not visit Guatemala any time soon.
- NOM NOM NOM 4 FUD – Okay, this looks like it could burn many, many hours. Though it is from Walmart, so it’s probably intrinsically evil.
