Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- GOP Reps Push Conspiracy Theories: BP Oil Spill Was An Inside Job, Obama Wants Poor Response – Remember, this guy SITS IN CONGRESS and HELPS PASS LAWS.
- Major BP Shareholder Rep. Sensenbrenner Says BP Doesn’t ‘Deserve Any Type Of Executive Bonuses’ – “As a laissez faire conservative, Sensenbrenner is unwilling to bring legal pressure to bear on BP, hoping instead that the BP board does the right thing on bonuses.” Yes, well hoping that BP will do the right thing, and that their board will encourage them to do so, seems to have gotten us into a bit of a mess, what?
- Sav hat parkin spt – I can’t imagine that these sorts of social apps work very well. Unlike a review, they require action right that the time you’re trying to do something else (and, if you’re actually driving your car, dangerously so). Once we get full voice interface with our mobile phones (“Phone, note empty parking space”), this is a clever idea that’s impractical to administer.
- Asshole in Florida busted for scamming dementia sufferers. – These are the sorts of folks who make me want to resign my membership card in the human race.
- Rituals that target customers not always good for business – Margie’s family has a strict rule: if you break security and let the waitress know it’s someone’s birthday, prompting a big around-the-table chorus from the waitstaff, then it gets to be YOUR embarrassing birthday for the next 5 dinners out. It works pretty well to restrain that kind of thing.
