Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- mental_floss Blog » The Weird & Scary History of Winter Olympic Mascots – Yeah, most of these are pretty … um … weird and scary.
- Jurors: Stop Twittering | Threat Level | Wired.com – One would think this is fairly obvious. Clearly not.
- Something’s gotta give – Fish or cut bait. It’s fine (and justified) to argue that the Other Guys are putting up road blocks to governance. But if you don’t do something about it, you’re part of the problem, too.
- North Carolina School Secretary Claims She Was Fired For Speaking Spanish To Parents – I do believe that English should be the core language of the nation. But that should be an ideal sought after for the common good, not some sort of tyrannical diktat imposed on people who are more comforatable (or just able) speaking another language.
- Marvel backs down to Tea Party activists over Captain America comic depicting a right-wing protest. – I bought and read that particular issue. It struck me as perfectly believable.
- Nerds Win: Barbie Is a Computer Engineer – GO NERD BARBIE! HUZZAH!
- Exit Win – Must remember this …
- How Buttsecks Works, by gay marriage opponent Rep. Nancy Elliott (R-NH) – If that’s not your bag, baby, then don’t do it. Presuming that only what you (or even a majority) consider normal and enjoyable is morally good means that we should make haggis, marathon running, and chastity against the law, too.
- High school installs wi-fi on school bus, quiet ensues – Excellent. Makes me wish they had it installed on the train I take on my commute.
- Watch: NY Lesbian Weds Male Stranger in Gay Marriage Protest – Of course, I suspect some of the folks most against gay marriage would also prefer to see purely civil marriages abolished, too. And it’s worth knowing that.
