Too many tabs, too many things to do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. This year’s Beloit Mindset list<\/a> of what the Class of 2011 considers a normal part of their world.<\/li>\n
  2. Let soldiers blog!<\/a> Folks don’t realize that it’s our ability to express ourselves, even critically, that makes this country great (esp. in the eyes of the rest of the world).<\/li>\n
  3. Another case of DRM screwing consumers. Sony’s closing down their “Connect” DRM site<\/a>, which means that folks who licensed music from them can only listen to it until they upgrade their PCs.<\/li>\n
  4. Yeah, I’m just waiting for a TSA agent to tell me to dump all the cables out of my brief case<\/a>. Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  5. Cool interview with Russel T. Davies<\/a> (of Doctor Who <\/em>\/ Torchwood <\/em>\/ etc fame). (via Les<\/a>)<\/small> <\/li>\n
  6. I am not a sporting fan, as anyone will tell you. That said, watching the last quarter or so of the Super Bowl yesterday was a real kick, with a record-breaking number of score lead changes and a couple of last-minute game-winning (or near-game-winning) plays. If they were all like that, I might be tempted to watch more football.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
