Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Mr and Mrs Globe Trot: What’s In My Suitcase?<\/a> – Very cool guide to packing for an extended (!) trip. The one obvious thing I would have changed out is a Kindle or other e-reader.<\/li>\n
  2. \u202aGovernor Christie Talks About Superior Court Judge Sohail Mohammed\u202c\u200f – YouTube<\/a> – Chris Christie can be a serious dolt sometimes, but if I were there at this press conference I’d applaud like a madman and shake his hand if offered. Well said, sir.<\/li>\n
  3. Ooooooo\u2026 <\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Ginger ale recipe<\/a> – Making note of this. Sounds like fun (and … ginger!).<\/li>\n
  5. \u202aPolkamon – Weird Al\u202c\u200f – YouTube<\/a> – Katherine finds this faboo.<\/li>\n
  6. Germany Declares Facebook’s Facial Recognition Illegal<\/a> – Oops.<\/li>\n
  7. Despite Attempts By Wyden and Udall, Secret Patriot Act Remains A Secret<\/a> – Secrecy in power and lack of oversight inevitably, invariably, ALWAYS corrupts, and turns even the brightest and most well-intentioned actions dark and corrosive. Of all the sins of the Obama Administration (and regardless of whether a President McCain would be just as bad), the ever-burgeoning “national security” apparatus is the worst, and potentially the most destructive to the nation.<\/li>\n
  8. Old photos of streetcars deposited in the ocean near Los Angeles (and the fish that love them) \u2013 Boing Boing<\/a> – “Nice little mass transit system you got here. Too bad it’ll soon be sleepin’ with the fishes …”<\/li>\n
