Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. 89% of Content on Google Buzz Is Automated [STATS]<\/a> – The stats aren’t surprising, though a bit misleading. That includes repeats of Tweets and other notifications of posts elsewhere (e.g., from Google Reader, from blog entries). The question is, are conversations starting up from that.<\/li>\n
  2. Eric Boehlert: Washington Examiner pretends public trust in government wasn’t demolished under Bush<\/a> – End of HW Bush: 23% public trust in government. End of Clinton: 45%. End of G Bush: 17%. Now: 22%. So public trust has actually RISEN since Obama took office. Yet, remarkably enough, the media is crowing about how it’s all about Tea Parties and resistance to the socialist presidency. Riiiiiight.<\/li>\n
  3. This is Why I Trust Google: Daniel Miessler<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. BBC NEWS | Middle East | Saudi cleric favours one-eye veil<\/a> – I dunno — that’s some sexy-looking eye there. Maybe we better just wrap up all the women in burlap sacks and keep them locked in a room somewhere. For their own protection, and ours. (Yeesh.)<\/li>\n
  5. Maxed out: How long could you survive a vacuum? – space – 21 April 2010 – New Scientist<\/a> – More on the question of “how would you die in space.”<\/li>\n
  6. Julie Millican: Morris admits he fabricated story on Clinton, Reno and Waco<\/a> – But why let something like blurring “facts” and “conjecture” get in the way of a juicy calumny?<\/li>\n
  7. ‘Bring a chicken to the doctor’<\/a> – And this is the person the GOP expects to defeat Harry Reid? I’m no great Reid fan, but this gal is an idjit.<\/li>\n
  8. Play that Funky Music Y Boy<\/a> – I find the adoption of the “play” icon (and similar A\/V icons of the sort) to be fascinating. In a way, though I can agree with the desire to update the logo, it’s a shame to lose the notes; they say “music” as opposed to yet another “play”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
