Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Get chased by zombies in Google Streetview!<\/a> – They’re coming to get you Barbara … turn left at the next intersection …<\/li>\n
  2. lulz Library (by Michael Newman)<\/a> – HA!<\/li>\n
  3. After Philadelphia\u2019s Budget Cuts Force Closure Of Nearest Fire Station, Two Children Die In Fire<\/a> – We cannot, of course, raise taxes to pay for fire fighting. The Free Market answer is, of course, that people in Philadelphia are free to move to somewhere else they perceive as less deadly. Right?<\/li>\n
  4. HarperCollins to libraries: we will nuke your ebooks after 26 checkouts<\/a> – “DRM is like the Ford Pinto: it’s a smooth ride, right up the point at which it explodes and ruins your day.” DRM: still evil.<\/li>\n
  5. Krugman: Wisconsin budget bill is ‘a perfect setup for cronyism and profiteering’<\/a> – “There’s no crime scene tape if you already own the cops.” Looking at some of the other details, this is an astonishingly bad bill, even without the whole union-busting crap in it. This is what dismantling a state for profit looks like.<\/li>\n
  6. Missouri State Senator Wants To Eliminate Child Labor Laws<\/a> – It’s Family Friendliriffic!<\/li>\n
  7. Virginia Re-Regulates Abortion Clinics In Attempt To Close Them Down<\/a> – Golly, aren’t the GOP always fighting for DEregulation?<\/li>\n
  8. Google drops reverse phone number lookup<\/a> – Huh. I wouldn’t have thought it would be that troublesome, but I can see why some folks would be irked.<\/li>\n
  9. Just ‘Cuz You Have “Fact” In Your Name Doesn’t Mean You’re Telling The Truth<\/a> – I have found Politifact generally worthwhile as a<\/b> source of fact-checking an assertion out there, but, as the article notes, relying on any one source is hardly a path to the truth.<\/li>\n
  10. Doctor Who MMO? FanTAStic!<\/a> – Guardedly jazzed, depending on what the game is really like. The Whoverse itself isn’t nearly as appealing as the Doctor.<\/li>\n
  11. Tolkien estate censors badge that contains the word “Tolkien”<\/a> – This kind of stuff is nucking futs. I really have trouble believing it’s an application of copyright that the Founders would have supported (once they stopped laughing).<\/li>\n
  12. Cure for cancer stolen<\/a> – Back. Up. Your. Data!<\/li>\n
  13. Media Ignores Majority Of Health Care Decisions To Focus On Judges Striking Down Affordable Care Act<\/a> – Arguably a ruling in favor of the Affordable Care Act is less newsworthy because it’s just upholding the governmental status quo. But this is where editors should be earning their bucks, in terms of looking at the big picture, not just the micro of each case as it comes up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
