Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Permafrost line recedes 130 km in 50 years, Canadian study finds<\/a> – But it’s snowing on Rush Limbaugh, so global warming is obviously an EVIL LIBERAL COMMIE-FASCIST PLOT.<\/li>\n
  2. The Case For An Older Woman \u00ab OkTrends<\/a> – Further, as Ben Franklin (who was a diligent empirical researcher) noted, “In the dark, all cats are gray.”<\/li>\n
  3. TSA To Start Swabbing Travelers’ Hands Looking for Explosives [Security]<\/a> – Is this actually likely to catch anything not caught in the random luggage swabs? One more delay, chance for false readings, personal intrusion … really, truly, makes me want to not fly. Are they going to ask for urine and stool samples next?<\/li>\n
  4. 5 Google Buzz Tips for the Advanced User<\/a> – Not sure why one would use a browser extension vs., say, keeping a tab open in the browser. That said, the article is worth it for noting the markup<\/b> you can use in Buzz (and, I believe<\/i> , Google Reader).<\/li>\n
  5. Twitter For Dipshits<\/a> – Some useful advice for Twitter for, um, everyone. Starting with the premise that Twitter use (or non-use) is highly individual, and that does no harm to anyone else as long as following and unfollowing is voluntary.<\/li>\n
  6. Swift, Jonathan — \u201cThoughts on Various Subjects\u201d (1706)<\/a> – I’d say this counts as the Motto for the Blogosphere.<\/li>\n
  7. CPAC will feature a Pelosi pi\u00f1ata and Reid punching bag.<\/a> – It never fails to amaze me the extent to which conservatives use metaphors and language of violence. And then they do something like this. What’s next, lynching Obama in effigy?<\/li>\n
  8. Does Richard Viguerie Support The Mount Vernon Statement?: Kyle<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Never Underestimate The Right’s Capacity For Self-Aggrandizement<\/a> – As a demonstration of how meaningless this is: aside from a few clearly current partisan digs, there’s nothing here that pretty much anyone in either party couldn’t claim to support. All that’s missing is mentioning Mom and Apple Pie.<\/li>\n
  10. tins ::: Rick Klau’s weblog: Google Buzz monitoring<\/a> – Setting up canned searches in Buzz. Nice.<\/li>\n
  11. A new day on DADT: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. Georgia senators forget the president’s name: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  13. Finding success one year later<\/a> – Money graf: “That Republicans still claim any credibility on this issue is literally laughable. Every time they claim the stimulus didn’t work — an argument we’ll no doubt be hearing quite a bit today — the GOP, which was responsible for getting us into this mess in the first place, looks a little more ridiculous.”<\/li>\n
  14. Fixing journalism : The Island of Doubt<\/a> – So if you take time to substantiate allegations, investigate sources, and ensure that what you’re conveying to the public bears at least a passing association with the truth, then you can’t run your business? Then what, precisely, are you offering of value?<\/li>\n
  15. The carbon cycle before humans: New studies provide clearer picture of how carbon cycle was dramatically affected long ago<\/a> – I fully agree that before we start intentionally dicking around with major geoengineering projects we need to understand things a lot better. That said, we are doing just that right now, but only as a “side effect” of our carbon-based economy. And, yes, we’re seeing the results of that unintentional dicking around.<\/li>\n
  16. Slobber And Spittle: To All The Climate Change Deniers<\/a> – I’m not sure if climate denialism is more about ignorance, fear, or greed — I suspect it depends on the denier.<\/li>\n
  17. What has ARRA done?<\/a> – The graph doesn’t tell the whole story (could be simply “recovery” without ARRA), but the list if accomplishments that goes with it is fairly impressive. Almost as impressive as all the GOP pols lined up at the trough for their state’s cut of the money, even as they turn around and denounce ARRA to the press. (I’ll note the Obama site has a button to share this via Google Reader — the first time I’ve ever seen that — but labeled<\/b> as sharing it through Buzz.)<\/li>\n
  18. Google Buzz Privacy Update<\/a> – While I think the EFF is a bit too vehement in their concerns here, the idea that Google only tested something like this with their own employees is, if true, a really dumb idea. Users always break things that the developers never think possible.<\/li>\n
  19. Videos on bus capture disaster when driver falls asleep<\/a> – Holy crap. I may use this as a safety moment at work …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
