Busy day, so let’s throw out some quick linky love.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Who was St Pamphilus<\/a>? (Not to be confused with St Pamphilus of Caesarea<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  2. Chinese nuclear tests, secret spy missions in the Himalayas, and a bunch of lost of Plutonium<\/a> — ah, those were the glory days of the CIA …<\/li>\n
  3. It’s not the hackers we need to worry about — it’s the system complexity and cascading failures<\/a> that are likely to do us in.<\/li>\n
  4. Cat girls!<\/a> (thanks, De)<\/small> <\/li>\n
  5. No more Canadian money jokes — the Canadian and US dollars hit parity yesterday<\/a> for the first time in three decades. Good news for Canadian tourists, bad news for Canadian manfacturers and exporters.<\/li>\n
  6. Save the Arecibo Radio Telescope!<\/a> <\/li>\n
  7. Soldier slang from Iraq<\/a> — well, mostly.  Some of those terms predate (some by quite some ways) the current war.<\/li>\n
  8. The Paleolithic Diet<\/a> … looks pretty screwy. (via kottke<\/a>)<\/small> <\/li>\n
  9. The fellow behind Irregular Webcomic<\/a> is doing a DM of the Rings<\/a> style version of Star Wars<\/em><\/a>.<\/li>\n
  10. Japanese robotic face-morphing technology<\/a>.  Vaguely reminiscent of the face part of the character builder in City of Heroes, but … well … real.  And exceedingly creepy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
