One of the writers at Lifehacker comes out with the same conclusion that I came to a while ago: http://www.thechunk.com/blog/archive/a-billion-suckers/

I read Omnivore’s Dilemma last year. It got me thinking more about the source of my food. I already knew a lot of this, although Pollan focused on cattle. This article is probably enough to get me to swear off sausage and bacon. At least pork products pro

I squirreled away a cuecat at some point. Not sure where it is now. Perhaps it’s time to dig it out since we plan on cleaning out the office and getting rid of some books.

This is the second post in the last month or so touting the power of LinkedIn. It seems it suffered from some early missteps and from social networking fatigue coming at the height of the first wave of such sites. It seems to be having a renaissance.

Bookmarked mainly for the Firefox’s location bar section. I’ve been meaning to check out quick searches.

I find Richard Dawkins compelling and I like most of what he has to say. I also like C.S. Lewis from the other end of the spectrum. I think Maha makes some good points.

A mix of things I’ve already seen and a few new ones.

This one got linked all over the place today. Interesting stuff.

Cory linked this one on BoingBoing. Must find time to watch.

Another video of a talk from the 23c3 conference in Germany. Glad they’re distributing this stuff for free.

I love this blog. And I love Sydney Blumenthal. Un-fucking-believeable. How many times have I said that in the last six years? I’m sure I’ll have the chance for another two at least. If you’re only going to read one of my links today, read this one.

I saw this photo used in an article on Nevada Thunder and thought it was funny enough to track down the original.

The NY Times on the rush to execute Saddam. The Iraqi government apparently broke their own laws in doing so. There’s great commentary on this from Glen Greenwald. I’ll link that in this same roundup.

Here’s the Glenn Greenwald commentary on the NY Times article about the rush to execute Saddam.

This Digby post on the shift of the Republicans from majority to minority party is priceless.

If this is true, all you Firefox/GMail users out there may want to jump to 2.0.0.1 now just to be safe. It’d really screw me over if I lost all of my GMail info. Is there a reasonable way to back that stuff up? The perils of using a third party for someth

Glen Greenwald articulating things as usual better than I could. Our current policy toward Iran is flawed and we missed this among many golden opportunities just after 9/11. The Axis of Evil rhetoric of the 2002 State of the Union address should go down a

One day, I’ll replace my home monitor with something like this…

Mossberg finds out that, surprise, surprise, cable company dvr’s suck. My Time Warner DVR? Sucks. But there’s not really another decent alternative as he states, especially for HD. So listen to him Time Warner, make a deal with Tivo and make us all happy.

This is so fucking stupid that I don’t know where to begin. Can we please get a government with some sense? Now? Please? Damn.

More commentary on the stupid fucking bullshit going on at the Grand Canyon.

Wonder what Ford thinks of his former chief of staff and defense secretary? Published posthumously, of course.

I’m still not trading in my 6 year old Sony WEGA 36 inch yet. Appears Panasonic has the best plasmas, that you’re stuck with plasma if you want something larger than 45 inches (unless you go projection, DLP anyone?), that you still have to worry about bur
