Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Food Consumption in America |<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. New Massachusetts law extends censorship to IM, e-mail, Web<\/a> – Once again, the conflict between local standards (ill-conceived or not) and a global information sink is exceedingly apparent. I don’t want folks in Singapore, Abu Dhabi, or Massachusetts deciding what’s appropriate on the Internet.<\/li>\n
  3. Hey You In The Kitchen: You’re Doing It Wrong<\/a> – This one’s for Margie. (Who, I hasten to add, never does it wrong.)<\/li>\n
  4. What To Avoid To Prevent Heart Disease<\/a> – I’m pleased to say that, really, none of these looked at all attractive to me. Okay, I might have nibbled some bacon off that one in the middle.<\/li>\n
  5. Microsoft Launches Outlook Facebook Integration [Exclusive]<\/a> – “When you combine that with LinkedIn, MySpace, Windows Live Messenger, and Outlook data, you get a very detailed history of your interaction with your contacts, as well as an at-a-glance look at their activities and interests. Knowing that a potential client just returned from a trip to Hawaii can be all that you need to have the upper hand against your competition.” Wow. Sounds like a great reason to make sure that I keep my Facebook account completely divorced from my company email account.<\/li>\n
  6. Life-Altering Android App of the Day: The \u201cRoad SMS\u201d…<\/a> – Not sure if this is intriguing or horrifying. And, um, is there a Twitter client version? Just asking …<\/li>\n
  7. Microsoft says 74 percent of work PCs still use Windows XP, extends downgrade rights (update)<\/a> – Just saw our internal stats — we’re almost all still on XP (the officially supported platform), though Win7 is finally beginning to be evaluated against the broad panoply of software our company uses.<\/li>\n
  8. Increased Number Of Foodborne Illnesses Coming From Salsa & Guacamole<\/a> – I guess it’s a good thing that I (a) don’t like guac and (b) prefer salsas that aren’t, like, chopped veggies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
