Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Casa Bonita Owner Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy – Denver News Story – KMGH Denver<\/a> – I can’t bring myself to hope that CB shuts down … but perhaps the next owner will actually bring edible food to the fray …<\/li>\n
  2. The Boys of War – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Red badges of courage.<\/li>\n
  3. US signs ACTA<\/a> – (Sigh.)<\/li>\n
  4. Conservative Economist: \u2018Regulatory Uncertainty Is A Canard Invented By Republicans\u2019<\/a> – Don’t get in the way of my talking points with your “facts”!<\/li>\n
  5. What is Secularism? Secularism is for everyone.<\/a> – I am not a “Nontheist,” but I am fully behind Constitutional Secularism. Because the theism most likely to wangle its way to the top of the religious heap at the moment is not an ideology I want the government endorsing, let alone enforcing.<\/li>\n
  6. Dumb Alabama Immigration Law Working So Well Its Crops Are Rotting<\/a> – Unfortunately, the intent from too many of the interests behind the Right is to make such backbreaking labor attractive (through lack of anything else) to the American labor pool.<\/li>\n
  7. I Never Expected a Bridge Demolition Would Look Like This [Video]<\/a> – As someone who works for a company that does this, it’s not surprising, but it’s still very cool.<\/li>\n
  8. Gallery of Hildebrandt illustrations<\/a> – I fell in love with the Brothers Hildebrandt (as did so many others) from their iconic Lord of the Rings calendars. Even though I didn’t care for a number of their interpretations (e.g., Rivendell), others were Just How I Pictured It (at least until the movies). Cool stuff here.<\/li>\n
  9. “Beware The Batman” CGI Animated Series Coming For 2013, “DC Nation” Updates<\/a> – That’s … interesting.<\/li>\n
  10. Colorado energy projects move along with $900 million in stimulus – The Denver Post<\/a> – It seems to me that federal grants\/loans are particularly suited for the higher risk sorts of things that businesses won’t want to do.<\/li>\n
  11. But I don’t even like my band. | So I had a small chat with Scott Lobdell tonight.<\/a> – If Lobdell’s as upset over how his 1st issue was interpreted as he sounds here, then it was a massive fail on his part (plus some massively bad choices in the art by Kenneth Rocafort).<\/li>\n
  12. Disney and Pixar Announce Slate of Four New 3-D Re-releases into Movie Theaters | The Disney Blog<\/a> – I had (and have) no interest in 3Difying of Disney’s traditional animation. I’d think practically any of the Pixar releases, though, would be kind of cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
