Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. B-cycle’s A-Maes-ing ride – Denver News – The Latest Word<\/a> – HA! (And, I want one of those shirts.)<\/li>\n
  2. New Professionalism in Indianapolis [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]: Ed Brayton none@example.com<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Bertrand Russell\u2019s 10 Commandments<\/a> – These all sound like great advice to me. And they all speak toward an eternal quest toward the truth.<\/li>\n
  4. Tweet of the Day: Chris<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Ten things I know about the mosque – Roger Ebert’s Journal<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Petra cave paintings: Rob Beschizza<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Nerd alert.<\/a> – I recognize a lot of these … I think. Sounds like a fun party game.<\/li>\n
  8. Miss Universe 2010<\/a> – These costumes are awesome. Or … something.<\/li>\n
  9. Park 51: Lessons for the War on Science : Mike the Mad Biologist<\/a> – The problem here is that there are folks who hear just the surface arguments by the wingnuts and who see a shallow reasonability to them. Simply ignoring them merely allows them to fester. The light of truth should defeat the darkness, but only if you shine it upon that darkness and reveal it for what it is.<\/li>\n
  10. 700-2: Weird Words: Ugsome<\/a> – Oh, I so need to start using this word.<\/li>\n
  11. Chewbacca : Savage Chickens \u2013 Cartoons on Sticky Notes by Doug Savage<\/a> – All of Chewy’s dialog in “A New Hope.” Loverly.<\/li>\n
  12. Of all the things to whine about<\/a> – The GOP has simply decided to ignore the past (ironically) and focus on whatever message they think they can smear Obama with. It doesn’t have to make sense, it doesn’t have to be rational, it doesn’t have to be constructive, it has only to be something that Fox can run in a chyron and Limbaugh can rant about for half an hour.<\/li>\n
  13. GOP candidate in NY gubernatorial primary calls for prison dorms for welfare recipients.<\/a> – Next up: poorhouses? Workhouses? Relocation to Alaskan work camps? Internment centers under Denver International Airport? Wait, I thought that’s what the Right was AFRAID of …<\/li>\n
  14. Google Chrome’s PDF Plugin Uses Foxit Software<\/a> – Foxit is a fine PDF reader.<\/li>\n
  15. It\u2019s Caturday! Surprise Bathtime<\/a> – Heh. I can so see this happening …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
