Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Leonard Nimoy Retiring, Won’t Star in ‘Trek’ Sequel<\/a> – I’ve very much enjoyed the voice-overs he’s done for Star Trek Online.<\/li>\n
  2. Dem. Sen. Carper: Dems should drop areas of disagreement from Wall St. reform bill<\/a> – So the way to move forward is to let the minority dictate to the majority what should or shouldn’t be in a bill. Um … right.<\/li>\n
  3. Price of Ignoring ToS Details: Your Soul<\/a> – Not at all surprising. What percentage of people (my guess: low single digits) actually read all the EULA information during an installation? (And, no, I don’t, either.)<\/li>\n
  4. Facebook Used To Make Partners Delete Your Data After 24 Hrs. No Longer.<\/a> – I don’t have anything on Facebook that worries me, and I decline to join in any games or applications that want to access my profile. That said, I’d never dream of making it my primary social platform.<\/li>\n
  5. Glenn Beck, the IMF, and the “Global V-A-T” “prison” conspiracy | Media Matters for America<\/a> – The Rodeo Clown meets Global Financial Policy. Hilarity ensues.<\/li>\n
  6. Pope Urban Novak II<\/a> – Right! We must protect the site of the Sermon on the Mount, and act as Blessed Peacemakers by BOMBING THE SNOT OUT OF IRAN! Just like Jesus would do!<\/li>\n
  7. Army considers rescinding invitation to evangelist – Yahoo! News<\/a> – It’s highly inappropriate to invite a speaker to the Pentagon who refers to Islam as “a very evil and wicked religion” — not least of which because (a) Muslims serve in the military, and (b) we have military posted in (and ostensibly in service to the people of) Muslim countries. That’s not censorship — that’s common sense. (Plus: why the hell does the Pentagon have a guest speaker for the National Day of Prayer in the first place?)<\/li>\n
  8. Jeffrey Scott Shapiro is on a mission to rehabilitate George W. Bush’s reputation. – By Jordan Michael Smith – Slate Magazine<\/a> – Money quote of Mr Scott: “Bush is clearly very smart. And you don’t need to be a genius to be president \u2014 you need good leadership skills and good instincts.”<\/li>\n
  9. Barbershop Ewoks<\/a> – I love Barbershop. I love Star Wars. I love … well, I appreciate<\/b> Star Wars Barbershop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
