Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Moving Update – Welcome to Colorado, Mary!
- GUIDE TO HOUSECAT COAT COLORS AND PATTERNS via… – Awesome.
- YouTube – Difference Between a Magazine and a Clip – Since I was so roundly corrected by folks on this in my gun post (and properly so … I similarly cringe people referring to their hard drives as “memory,” or their computer chassis as their “hard drive”), I offer this very nice tutorial on the difference. (In short, I believe, a magazine (internal or external) feeds ammo into the firing chamber of a gun; a clip is used to load a magazine.)
- Friedman and the Paleomonetarists – “It says something about the times we’re in that Milton Friedman now looks left-of-center, at least on monetary issues.”
- Did Democrats Give Up in Gun Control Debate? – NYTimes.com – Not much of a liberal conspiracy, it seems.
- The dangers of epistemic closure – Epistemic closure is a problem for everyone, of all opinions. And it’s self-perpetuating — if you are reading just one set of opinions, trying to tread something different is like running into someone speaking in tongues — utterly incomprehensible, aside from being viscerally infuriating. (And, no, I’m no more immune to the effect than anyone else.)
