Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Why GE, Coca-Cola, and IBM Are Getting Into the Water Business – You think gas shortages are disruptive … consider water shortages …
- So, I’m dead. What’s the deal with my digital data? [Loose Ends] – I see this as being pretty important for passing things on to a spouse (or the kids). If they choose to delete it, fine.
- Can’t Have a Christian Woman Talking to the Kids – Wow. That’s really — aggravating. Dolts.
- Sweden exports sweatshops: Ikea’s first American factory – Hmmmm.
- The New Low Republicans Sunk To During The Shutdown Debate – “I know I am more critical of President Obama and the Democratic Party than most liberals, but it is because I truly care about the issues that I write about, and the people who are harmed by compromised policy. But make no mistake; as disappointing as the Democrats are, the Republicans are always worse and ever voting for the national Republican Party is a horrible idea. As much as the Democrats can be corporate sellouts in their own right, the Republicans just reminded us yesterday that there is still a very real difference between the two parties.”
- Washington DC Thrown Under The Bus In Budget Deal – The fact that DC is so controlled by Congress is, itself, shameful. That the GOP in Congress use that to push forward their conservative policy choices, even over the will of DC’s elected officials, is even more scandalous.
- The Progressive Budget Vision For America – That seems at least as realistic a plan as that the fever dreams of Rep. Ryan — and would make for a much better nation to boot.
- China To U.S.: Who Are YOU To Be Arbiter Of Human Rights – I would be more than happy to stack the US record on human rights against that of China — but we certainly do ourselves no favors with our official rights violations or our unofficial ones.
- What Determined the Length of an Audio CD? – Small design decisions echo through the years.
