Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Is It Ever Okay To Not Tip The Pizza Guy? – If the driver gets there in a timely fashion, you tip the guy. More if the weather is crappy.

- Judge Nullifies Gene Patents – From what I know, this is a very good ruling. You can patent a technique, perhaps, and certainly a particular technology. But to patent genes? Nuh-uh.
