Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- The freaky murals at Denver International Airport – Boing Boing – I kinda like the freaky murals. They beat generic cityscapes, abstract paint splotches, and other generic airport fare.
- The world’s best wedding photos – That’s … hard to argue against.
- Google Maps Can Now Show You Weather Conditions – Cool.
- HP Killing webOS Devices [Hp] – Given that WebOS is the descendent of Palm, a platform I used for many years … this is kind of sad.
- Teacher suspended over Facebook comments: Lake County teacher suspended, reassigned for anti-gay comments on Facebook – OrlandoSentinel.com – On the one hand, teachers — like everyone else — deserve the right to a private life and private opinions (even if I vehemently disagree with them). On the other hand, once comments like these get out, it would be difficult for an openly gay student to trust him. And if I made comments in my private life that interfered with my work or my company’s operations — even unintentionally — I would expect the company to take notice and that there would be repercussions.
- It’s Time to Freak Out Over Obama’s Annual Vacation Again – (Rolls eyes.)
- Fathers And Daughters In ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ – The only possible exception I can think of to this would be Princess Yue and her father, but we don’t get to see a lot of that.
- Fall Movie Preview: 5 Movies We’re Sure Will Rule, and 17 That Could Surprise Us [Fall Preview 2011] – Honestly? Not much here that has me jumping up and down in anticipation.
- Is Babylon 5 gearing up for a big comeback? – I’ve heard rumblings about this. I’d certainly welcome more B5 … but I’d prefer something ongoing that worked in the B5 universe, rather than one-off movies.

The guy in the “mankini”, which is a stupid thing if you ask me, looks like Sasha Baron Cohen.
For some reason, one finds that thing in many men’s wear catalogs aimed at gays. Can’t imagine why. Gah. Surely they have better taste?
I imagine if I were looking to sexually ogle men, I might it attractive. It’s not that outre compared to, say, some women’s swimwear (arguably even some of the bikinis on the page).
But it sure strikes me as damned silly-looking.
