Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Salon.com “Were You Born on the Wrong Continent?”: America’s misguided culture of overwork<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Moderates v. Radicals<\/a> – All you have to do is look back on how Catholics and Jews were treated in the 20th and 19th Centuries, or how a raft of minority Christian sects were treated during the era of the Founding Fathers, to know that folks who feel comfortable with violence by “Us” vs “Them” keep drawing that “Us” circle more and more tightly.<\/li>\n
  3. UK to ban all multiplayer games<\/a> – Yikes! It’s not good to play Bad Guys? Better drop my City of Villains characters, then … Actually, I’ll admit, the game in question makes me uneasy. But that’s dealt with much more effectively in a social fashion (talking about it) and commercial fashion (declining to buy it), rather than through some sort of BAN on it.<\/li>\n
  4. White Fright – Slate – Christopher Hitchens<\/a> – Is the upcoming passage of whites from a majority to a “mere” plurality going to be as ugly as some folks fear? I sure hope not. I’d like to think we’re bigger and better than that.<\/li>\n
  5. Pakistan flood: the children (18 photos) | Reporting with a camera<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Say cheese …<\/a> – HA!<\/li>\n
  7. 35 Life Hacks You Should Know [PIC]<\/a> – Some of these seem impossible (and others I suspect are highly circumstantial), but there are also some great ideas here. Caveat lector.<\/li>\n
  8. Super Realistic Yoda Head Cake<\/a> – GAH!<\/li>\n
  9. Marketing Campaign of the Day: Ad agency Crispin Porter +…<\/a> – Mmmmm … carrots …<\/li>\n
  10. Guest Post: Why do the Japanese Draw Themselves as White?<\/a> – Interesting …<\/li>\n
  11. The Bubble<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. Email overload? Try Priority Inbox<\/a> – Hmmm … I’ll be curious to see how this works.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
