Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- That’s What Freedom is All About: Ron Paul’s Former Campaign Manager Had No Health Insurance, Got Sick and Died in Debt – A sad tale, and not a unique one in a country with “the greatest health care on Earth.” And this is the sort of thing those yahoos were shouting “Yeah!” about, and that Paul was speaking in talking points about? Disgusting.
- Steven Spielberg Regrets Altering ‘E.T.;’ Will Release ‘E.T.’ and ‘Raiders’ on Blu-ray in Original Forms – Good for him. Now maybe he he needs to talk to his good friend, George …
- Republicanism As Religion – The Dish | By Andrew Sullivan – The Daily Beast – “Religion has replaced all of this, reordered it, and imbued the entire political-economic-religious package with zeal. And the zealous never compromise. They don’t even listen.”
- Please be real, please be real, please be real… – Imgur – In case you had any doubts about how good that Lion King 3D release was going to look …

I don’t see software being amenable to this for a long time, if ever, given interoperatibility needs — but we’re also looking at breaking out of the Microsoft Office walled garden as a way around it.
