Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- 89% of Content on Google Buzz Is Automated [STATS] – The stats aren’t surprising, though a bit misleading. That includes repeats of Tweets and other notifications of posts elsewhere (e.g., from Google Reader, from blog entries). The question is, are conversations starting up from that.
- Eric Boehlert: Washington Examiner pretends public trust in government wasn’t demolished under Bush – End of HW Bush: 23% public trust in government. End of Clinton: 45%. End of G Bush: 17%. Now: 22%. So public trust has actually RISEN since Obama took office. Yet, remarkably enough, the media is crowing about how it’s all about Tea Parties and resistance to the socialist presidency. Riiiiiight.
- This is Why I Trust Google: Daniel Miessler
- BBC NEWS | Middle East | Saudi cleric favours one-eye veil – I dunno — that’s some sexy-looking eye there. Maybe we better just wrap up all the women in burlap sacks and keep them locked in a room somewhere. For their own protection, and ours. (Yeesh.)
- Maxed out: How long could you survive a vacuum? – space – 21 April 2010 – New Scientist – More on the question of “how would you die in space.”
- Julie Millican: Morris admits he fabricated story on Clinton, Reno and Waco – But why let something like blurring “facts” and “conjecture” get in the way of a juicy calumny?
- ‘Bring a chicken to the doctor’ – And this is the person the GOP expects to defeat Harry Reid? I’m no great Reid fan, but this gal is an idjit.
- Play that Funky Music Y Boy – I find the adoption of the “play” icon (and similar A/V icons of the sort) to be fascinating. In a way, though I can agree with the desire to update the logo, it’s a shame to lose the notes; they say “music” as opposed to yet another “play”.
