Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Adaptation – SMBC September 19, 2010
- mental_floss Blog » 10 Things You Should Know About J.R.R. Tolkien – Cool stuff. Hadn’t heard about his Beowulf classes before.
- Ozone layer no longer thinning – But remember — it’s impossible that anything man does can affect the planet, and, conversely, that anything we could do could fix the problem without bankrupting the nation! I know, because the GOP told me so!
- Facebook Is Secretly Building A Phone – Wow. I can’t think of anything I want less than a phone that houses you securely within the walls of Facebook.
- Think This Duke Nukem Forever Pre-Order Is Still Valid? [Screengrab] – I’m impressed dude has kept it around this long.
- Zombies 101 [Mind=Blown] – Your Mind Blown – I understand the pooh-poohing … but, really, media studies courses (hell, literary studies courses) and the like often seem ridiculous. The question is what you do with it. Parables and koans sound silly, too, until you scratch beneath the surface.
- Deleting gene RGS14 removes a limit to learning and memory – Yeah, what could possibly go wrong …?
- Intel wants to charge $50 to unlock stuff your CPU can already do – Interesting — and, ultimately, probably not worth the anger Intel will incur for doing this.
