Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. New financial unit of measure: the \u201cTDJ\u201d<\/a> – Big, inspirational art, cathedrals, stuff like that, do serve a purpose, so I can’t immediately hop on DOF’s bandwagon here (since obviously SOME Philistines out there were inspired by TDJ). But I’d suggest that before investing a quarter mil into rebuilding this eye-sore (and handwaving away any suggestion that, well, MAYBE THEY SHOULD CATCH A CLUE ABOUT WHAT THE ALMIGHTY THINKS ABOUT THIS MONSTROSITY), the church in question ought to very, very seriously think about what Jesus would actually suggest in this circumstance, and how much of this is to glorify themselves, not to do God’s work (whited sepulchres can be Jesus-shaped, too).<\/li>\n
  2. Gohmert Cracks the Case [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]<\/a> – Next up, Gohmert claims that Obama was a dry run … or was he simply the FIRST OF MANY??!!<\/li>\n
  3. Do not apply for jobs with \u201cTTJ Property Management\u201d as it\u2019s just a scam.<\/a> – Bravo, Les. Great research. I suspect others will find it useful, too.<\/li>\n
  4. London cops enforce imaginary law against brave, principled teenaged photographer<\/a> – For people we trust to go armed and use physical force against miscreants, way too many police seem to be shy of public oversight.<\/li>\n
  5. Four Great Reasons Your Facebook Profile Should NEVER Be Public | Facebook blog and news<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. YouTube – NASA Satellite Time Lapse Images of Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill<\/a> – Amazing, and disturbing.<\/li>\n
  7. Gorilla psychologists: Weird stuff in plain sight – opinion – 28 June 2010 – New Scientist<\/a> – We can only focus on so much at a time. Which is one reason why “multi-tasking” is not nearly as effective as folks deceive themselves in to thinking it is.<\/li>\n
  8. YouTube – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 & 2 Official Teaser (2010)<\/a> – Okay, some of the screen text is a weeeee hyperbolic — but, damn, that does look exciting.<\/li>\n
  9. Do we play Farmville because we’re polite? – Boing Boing<\/a> – I very much suspect this is true. And, yes, it’s a reason I never accept those sorts of invites (nor do I often get onto FB).<\/li>\n
  10. Bumpology: Fed up of the booze and cigs police – health – 29 June 2010 – New Scientist<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. Kirkman’s ‘Walking Dead’ conquers comics. Is TV next? – USATODAY.com<\/a> – If played true to the comics, this could be a real hit.<\/li>\n
  12. Tor.com \/ Johnny Depp Starring in Big Screen Doctor Who Adaptation?<\/a> – Um … I really hope this turns out to be about 98.6% Not True.<\/li>\n
  13. YouTube – Bistro Bordeaux – No Need For A Corkscrew<\/a> – Not quite as funny as the guy on the street in an earlier video, but interesting to see. I would not do this with a good bottle, for a variety of reasons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
