Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Pedestrians on Streets Designed for Cars – While these seem to be various run-down areas, the same sort of problem can be found in business parks and more upscale commercial streets as well. When I go on a business trip to another office, and decide to walk someplace for lunch, all too often I’m faced with large parking lots and feeder streets that have no sidewalk.
- Play the Goddamn Music and Light the @#$%ing Lights, the Muppets Are BACK – I. Do. Want.
- San Francisco Restaurants Want To Make 25% Standard Tip Rate « CBS San Francisco – Um … no. Generally speaking, fixed “tips” have tended to equal poor service in my experience. (That said, I also realize a lot of patrons are crappy tippers.)
- Metro mayors worry: Additional revenue shortfalls might follow a successful FasTracks tax expansion – The Denver Post
- mental_floss Blog » Happy 70th Birthday, Paul Simon!

- Herman Cain, KKK Crackers, and Snuffing The Seed of One Of Your Hoes – Aw, come on, that was a whole FIVE YEARS AGO! That’s ancient history in GOP circles!

- While Condemning Religious Bigotry, Romney Aligns Himself With Anti-Muslim Activists – It’s hard to swing a dead cat in GOP circles without hitting someone who’s spewed venom against someone else’s religion.
- Beck: Barton Does More Good “Than A Pack Of Charities Combined” – Because, of course, Jesus told his followers to give all they had to pseudo-historians.
- A Rich Kid Stands Up For #OccupyWallStreet – “I want to live in a world where we all have enough.” Isn’t it sad that’s seen as something radical and wrong?
- One In Three Gap Stores In U.S. Will Be Closed By End Of 2013 – “Fall Into The Gap!”
- 5 Essential Superhero Redesigns! | Indistinguishable From Magic – I don’t agree with all of his criticisms, but I like his redesigns.
