Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n

  1. SDO: The Extreme Ultraviolet Sun<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. YouTube – Virginia’s new iPad<\/a> – When she was born, the Wrights had only recently flown; telephones were just beginning to spread (albeit with manual exchanges); there were no regularly scheduled radio broadcasts; the zipper had not yet been invented, but the first electric refrigeration units were just being crafted; there was no stainless steel, and there was no greatest invention since sliced bread (which first showed up in 1928). Which makes me wonder what wonders I have yet to see over the rest of my life, and marvel at all that’s changed in my own handful of decades …<\/li>\n
  3. What if the old curmudgeon teaching economics married that cute, brainy geography teacher? \u00ab Millard Fillmore\u2019s Bathtub<\/a> – This is a pretty cool effort. Will be keeping my eye open for the stamped $1 bills.<\/li>\n
  4. Full Frontal Nerdity by Aaron Williams<\/a> – Teach the Controversy!<\/li>\n
  5. Fowl Math For A Chicken-Based Health Care Economy | TPMDC<\/a> – As DOF notes, one wonders if medical schools will let their students pay off their loans in chickens, too …<\/li>\n
  6. Wonk Room \u00bb NEW STATISTIC: 13,425 Soldiers Discharged Under Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell<\/a> – So has spending a couple of hundred million dollars, and getting rid of 13K active duty personnel over the last 17 years actually made our country safer? Shyeah, right.<\/li>\n
  7. Paramount And M. Night Shyamalan Make \u2018Airbender\u2019 Into 3D Conversion \u2013 Deadline.com<\/a> – I’m utterly unconvinced that 3D conversions — any more than color conversions — actually work, except to drive up ticket prices. Feh.<\/li>\n
  8. CenturyTel to buy Qwest in $10.6 billion stock swap – The Denver Post<\/a> – I can see my office building from here!<\/li>\n
  9. Denver may curb all-walk intersections – The Denver Post<\/a> – That would be a shame. I kind of like the downtown pedestrian signals as they currently are. (Plus … four-car trains? Yikes.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
