Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. How to Disable Facebook Places<\/a> – Facebook excels at rolling out new privacy-destroying features and forcing people to opt out of them. If people want all their FB friends to know where they are, great. But make it opt-in, rather than opt-out.<\/li>\n
  2. Parasitic fungus controls ants<\/a> – THEM! And … IT!<\/li>\n
  3. It’s not just the zombie lie that’s the problem<\/a> – I don’t know if it’s more disturbing that so many people (and growing) still think Obama is a “secret Muslim,” or the idea that it’s simply a code for “we don’t like him.”<\/li>\n
  4. Rove plays voters for suckers (again)<\/a> – “Maybe Rove knows this, and is just counting on voters being dumb. Maybe Rove doesn’t know this, and he’s just a mindless hack.” I know where my bet is.<\/li>\n
  5. Fischer: US Failed to Make Iraq a Christian Nation, So Our Soldiers Died For Nothing<\/a> – Fischer is slipping from doltishness into cloud-cuckoo land …<\/li>\n
  6. Did Hannity Withdraw From CPAC Over GOProud?<\/a> – Glad to see that Coulter is as gracious to her critics on the Right as on the Left.<\/li>\n
  7. Cognitive dissonance in Alaska: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Two taste treats … – Real Life Comics – August \/ 19 \/ 2010<\/a> – Um … probably not. Then again …<\/li>\n
  9. Keyport Slide review — Engadget<\/a> – Clever, if (a) your body of keys is that small, (b) it is unchanging, (c) the keys don’t require embedded chips (like so many cars do).<\/li>\n
  10. 22 Incredible Photos of Faraway Places<\/a> – Gorgeous work by Steve McCurry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
