Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Thousands of Pictures Out of Flickr [Backup] – I haven’t had a motive to exit Flickr to Picasa, but it’s good to know that some folks are thinking about how to move this stuff around.
- ‘Thou shalt shoplift’ says priest who tells his congregation to steal – A person has to do what they must to get by — but there are almost always alternatives (and there are always consequences). The issue is: what are we as a society doing to keep people from coming to such straits?
- Some helpful advice for skeptics and journalists : The Island of Doubt – Helpful indeed. Neither total skepticism nor utter credulity are useful. The trick is determining whom to believe, about what, and to what extent, and for how long. It can never be open and closed or automatic; when it becomes that, error becomes that more likely to creep in.
- Solar Power Is Wonderful, Really, Except When You Build It Anywhere Near Anything: Peter Suderman
- Microsoft loses patent appeal; Word and Office to be barred from sale starting January 11 – Happy New Year, Microsoft!
- LDS candidate touts Mormon-only male-only campaign rallies: Chino Blanco
- Why I Don’t Participate in the ‘Christmas Wars’ – An interesting take on the whole “War on Christmas” thing. If the triumphalism gets a big cloying-to-offensive in places, it’s still a healthier viewpoint than the fear-mongering and paranoia amongst some on the the Right whenever someone says “Happy Holidays.”
- Firefox 3.5 passes IE7 as most popular web browser – It’s still well behind IE6+7+8 … but, still …
- Firefox for mobile ready to debut – Oooooh … looking forward to this. I like Opera Mini, but it’s a bit idiosyncratic for me.
- Storm 2 BlackBerries Switched to Bing – Huh. A good reason not to get a Storm 2 (or use Verizon). Default, yes. Only, no.
- DORK TOWER, Monday, November 30, 2009 – Mother, Mayan? – Secrets of the Mayan Calendar … REVEALED!
- Glenn Beck: Media Matters ‘ 2009 Misinformer of the Year | Media Matters for America – Congratulations, Glenn! And many happy returns!
- Huckabee: Nelson like Judas on health care reform – Action 3 News – Omaha, Nebraska News, Weather, and Sports | – Nice. Let’s remember that sort of rhetoric when Huckabee “surprisingly” leaps into the presidential fray in 2012.
- Jamison Foser: Fox News, where “won’t reduce deficits” means “will reduce deficits” – “We report … you deride.”
- Terry Krepel: Why does WorldNetDaily hate our troops? – Ideology always trumps … well, everything.
