Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Short Sharp Science: Mining garbage for tomorrow’s metals – At the risk of oversimplifying, it seems to me that there may soon be a market for digging back into “anthropogenic mines” (landfills) and processes all sort of material from them. No veins of precious materials, but plenty of nuggets.
- Google Code Blog: Enabling Cloud Portability with Google App Engine for Business and VMware – An interesting idea — treating a VMware farm as an internal enterprise “cloud” with apps that can, if you choose, be hosted out in the real cloud.
- Witness, suspect share Hennepin County jail cell — bad move – TwinCities.com – Sounds like a sitcom episode, but …
- With Your Head Down in the Pig Bin Saying, “Keep on Digging” – Wow. They either (a) lied through their teeth, or (b) grossly overestimated their capabilities. I’m shocked. And we should allow them to voluntarily regulate themselves … because …?
- ‘Where is the wave?’ – Money graf: “For those keeping score, there have been seven special elections for U.S. House seats since the president’s inauguration 16 months ago: NY20, IL5, CA32, CA10, NY23, FL19, and PA12. Democrats have won all seven.”
- Super Tuesday shakes up political landscape – At least in the stuff I’ve been reading, there isn’t any clear trend, unless it’s that voters aren’t paying as much attention to party support as they once did.
- ABC’s Superhero Show Is Going to Be Canceled Immediately – I think I would be willing to watch the premiere episode (though I think I’ve just done so). I agree this is not likely to survive long.
- The Clowns are Tearing down Colorado Springs – I can appreciate their ideological consistency (at least, I’d be pointing mockingly if they took the money), but, to put it mildly, I don’t think they are serving their constituents well.
- How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell – The Oatmeal – I laugh so that I do not weep …
- Milky Way Over Ancient Ghost Panel
- Crescent Venus and Moon – Very subtle, but very cool.
