Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Carmageddon: Forget planking, trio holds ‘dinner party’ on empty 405 [Updated] – latimes.com<\/a> – Bravo.<\/li>\n
  2. Texas Schools Just Suspending Everyone on Principle<\/a> – Well, not just everyone, but certain … shades of everyone.<\/li>\n
  3. Rep. Allen West Calls DNC Chair ‘Vile… Despicable… Not a Lady’<\/a> – Whoa, Allen … lay off the bourbon before you send emails!<\/li>\n
  4. Through The Overton Looking Glass<\/a> – “I can\u2019t wait till next November, when the party that wants to cut Social Security and Medicare squares off against the party that wants to cut Social Security and Medicare while raising taxes slightly.”<\/li>\n
  5. The Decline of the Aspirational Baby Name – Brainiac<\/a> – Though Katherine’s name is shared by various prominent types (from actresses to czarinas), we chose it as a name of protean flexibility, as well as something intentionally non-trendy.<\/li>\n
  6. HijiNKS ENSUE \u00bb Live By The Sword<\/a> – Joel Watson on the final Harry Potter film (incl. spoilers).<\/li>\n
  7. Harry Potter – J.K. Rowling goes Beyond the Epilogue – Beyond Hogwarts<\/a> – Massively multiple spoilers for those who haven’t seen the final movie. For those who have, here’s Rawling’s interviews re the final disposition of the various characters.<\/li>\n
  8. Sign Fixer<\/a> – YES!<\/li>\n
  9. Wednesday’s hail storm in Denver metro area resulted in $164.8 million in damage to cars and homes – The Denver Post<\/a> – Dagnabbit … we need a major hailstorm down HERE. It’s getting to be time to replace the roof …<\/li>\n
  10. Heat buckles Colorado 83 south of Parker – The Denver Post<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. One More Crisis on Infinite Reboots Trifecta: Good, Bad, Weird<\/a> – I may be the only person out there who actually doesn’t mind the jeans-and-t-shirt outfit. On the other hand, the 52 Hardcover Archive sounds like pretentious twaddle.<\/li>\n
  12. Newsarama.com : LEE, DIDIO: Rebuilding DC To Counteract ‘Shrinking Market’ | DC reboot | DCnU<\/a> – Still not feeling any joy from this reboot. And I’m really getting tired of the idea that you can’t have as dramatic a story if someone has a spouse.<\/li>\n
  13. Loss of Genetic Diversity in U.S. Food Crops<\/a> – There are obvious dangers in putting all of one’s eggs (or strawberries) in one genetic basket.<\/li>\n
  14. Obama Admin To Whitebark Pines: Drop Dead<\/a> – Sigh.<\/b><\/li>\n
  15. Time Magazine Builds Web Pay Wall – Peter Kafka – Media – AllThingsD<\/a> – So Time is positioning itself as an historical archive, rather than a news source. Got it.<\/li>\n
  16. Safe Playgrounds Are Destroying Society<\/a> – And my brother has a scar on his chin from where he fell off a slide onto an asphalt surface. Now, there’s a still a lot of cool playground equipment these days, but what you see is still kids pushing the boundaries, climbing up where they aren’t supposed to be, etc. Which is (when I take my Dad Hat off) a good thing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
