Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Typewriter repairmen in photos – Typewriters are really an amazing bit of machinery. On that basis, I’m sorry to see them go. As a past user … I’m just as glad to be using word processing software.
- A Personal Letter From Steve Martin – Heh.
- Unemployment Down In 90% Of Nation’s 372 Largest Metro Areas – That’s good news.
- Alaska GOP Congressman Don Young: Gulf Spill “Not An Environmental Disaster” – Booking any vacations to the Florida panhandle, Don? What an idiotic statement.
- O’Reilly compares gay people to al Qaeda. – Classy move, Bill.
- High Stakes Innovation : The Frontal Cortex – Not surprising, under pressure we tend to be less creative. Fight or flight are simple responses to stress, and that’s how we’re wired.
- Missionaries of Hate – Unfortunately, too many less-fundamental / -vicious Christians are too collegial, too polite, or two lily-livered to speak out against such things. What, really, truly, would Jesus do?
- First paper ‘dipstick’ test for determining blood type – Excellent.
- Coffee Lovers – Yeah, that’s about right.
- Creative and Unusual Soap Designs – As with all designed soap, lovely until it’s, like, actually used.
- Guessing cops allowed to give speeding tickets in Ohio — Autoblog – Wow, that’s just … yeah, pretty wrong. Without questioning whether cops have good or bad speed estimating skills, being fined based on no more than an opinion seems horribly liable to abuse.
