Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Beyond Toleration: The Enduring Message Of Washington\u2019s Letter To The Touro Synagogue \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a> – I’m quite familiar with Washington’s letter. I wish more of the Islamophobic brouhahaistas were.<\/li>\n
  2. Gabrielle Bell’s comic strip about ComicCon – Boing Boing<\/a> – An interesting collection, but … well, one commenter put it best. “Comicons are like Star Trek conventions – they’re about the core values. Core values like comic books that are for kids, not those artsy fartsy 20-something angst-ridden disenfranchised white kids with ennui.” Bell makes it sound like the Worst Possible Experience in the World, even when she’s invited to attend and given a freaking per diem.<\/li>\n
  3. Think Progress \u00bb Chamber Blames Women For Pay Gap: They Should Choose The Right \u2018Place To Work\u2019 And \u2018Partner At Home\u2019<\/a> – Stay classy, Chamber of Commerce!<\/li>\n
  4. Keep Calm and Carry On<\/a> – I actually have a copy of this poster up in my office. It’s a good reminder that, no matter the business brouhaha, flying into a tizzy isn’t productive.<\/li>\n
  5. BBC News – Last US combat brigade quits Iraq<\/a> – A noteworthy milestone — though the many remaining US troops will still be in harm’s way, even if their mission is not explicitly for combat.<\/li>\n
  6. YouTube – Is Sarah Palin gunning for 2012?<\/a> – This is certainly unfair, uncivil, inflammatory, mocking, and disrespectful. However it is just too funny (and creepy) not to share.<\/li>\n
  7. 13 Brands Of Eggs Recalled For Possible Salmonella Contamination<\/a> – Offered as (a) a public health notice, and (b) a wry observation that the underinspected egg producer now being assisted by the FDA and CDC operates out of the town of Galt<\/b>, Iowa.<\/li>\n
  8. Prosecutor: no charges in webcam spy scandal<\/a> – Yeah. This is more likely to be settled in civil court.<\/li>\n
  9. Google chief warns of Internet imperiling privacy<\/a> – The question becomes whether this sort of universal public square will suppress behavior, reimpose more keeping of behavior private, or change what becomes (eventually) acceptable. In either case, I expect a decade or so for society to adjust.<\/li>\n
  10. Under fire, SBI blood analyst suspended – Agents’ Secrets – NewsObserver.com<\/a> – “The criminal convictions or sentences of three people who have since been executed in North Carolina, and four more cases in which the defendants are now on death row, are may be in doubt because of flawed reports.” The more I know about the criminal justice system — and the human failures of judgment, objectivity, or even love of truth, that riddle it — the more convinced I am that capital punishment is inexcusable. Not because the state cannot have a compelling reason to put some individuals to death, but because the state cannot convincingly assert that its evidence for doing so is correct “beyond a reasonable doubt.”<\/li>\n
  11. Torchwood: The New World<\/a> – Oooooh …<\/li>\n
  12. Please forgive me for the actions of extremists I have never met who commit acts of violence that I have never advocated<\/a> – Must. Reading.<\/li>\n
  13. The Starlost – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<\/a> – And more on “The Starlost.” Now I really need to reread that Ellison essay on his experience on it.<\/li>\n
  14. YouTube – The Starlost – original TV opening<\/a> – All you need to know about the high quality of TV SFX in 1973 — especially in cheap SF from Canada. sigh<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
