Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Lisa Miller Has Been Missing For Months: Kyle
- China Renames Mountain in Honor of Avatar – I see. It was a “civil spontaneous action .” Got it.
- Gorilla Rack shelving units are awesome – We use them in the garage, in the basement, in closets — they’re the next best thing to actually building units in.
- Antivaxxer movement leader found to have acted unethically: Phil Plait
- NASA: “We Lost The Moon” – Very mixed feelings about this. I agree that commercial space business makes a tremendous amount of sense. On the other hand, there is somethign very sad about giving up the idea of the Big Voyage. Private business isn’t going to go to the Moon. Or Mars. And we should.
- Even without cookies, a browser leaves a trail of crumbs – Fascinating. And a bit disturbing.
- Inhofe calls Obama a great liar, says ‘most’ of State of the Union speech ‘wasn’t true.’ – But not to be “discourteous” or anything.
- The Mighty Diamond – Some interesting analysis (and debunking of other analysis) about why Haiti is so poor, even in relationship to their neighbor on the island.
- Kerry tells climate advocates to get as angry as Tea Partiers. – A good point. The rage from the Right needs to be met by a bit more rage from the Left. Otherwise, you know who the timid pols are going to listen to.
- Google’s Privacy Principles: A Googler
- Matt Gertz: Does Kathryn Jean Lopez also think Reagan was “unpresidential”?: Matt Gertz
- Media Matters staff: Drudge makes outrageous Supreme Court “INTIMIDATION” claim about Obama’s SOTU – Remember: it’s only “intimidation” if it’s done by a scary black man.
- Polyamory Is Wrong – I wholeheartedly support this message.
- Canada Shaves Its Beaver – Not sure if I’m more irked at Stupid internet Filters or magazines that knuckle under to them. Yeesh.
- This is the title of a typical incendiary blog post – Coyote Crossing – The comments are pretty educational, too.
- Facebook Pages Now Accessible Via RSS – An interesting break in FB’s usual practice of locking most access down to just FB users.
- Senate Aides To House Dems: Back Off – I’m not sure what’s worse — delays in health care reform over procedural rules (even amongst a friendly audience), or delays because of inter-chamber pissing matches.
- Obama’s SOTU Speech | The Plum Line – The full text, for reference.
- Spending Freeze Must Include Defense – That pretty much all makes sense, except to (a) Congresscritters with local jobs at stake and (b) the GOP which will accuse the Administration of being weak on Defense no matter what it does.
