Total Senator crush on her. I hope she can make something happen with the "too big to fail" banks.

I'm excited, although with my Lenten plan, I won't be picking it up right away. May not matter because of Mac version's release date.

We're unlikely to be doomed.

This article makes me wonder what sort of corporate training al-Qaeda leaders have received. Six Sigma? GTD? Interesting how much he cared about the PR aspect of their conquest of the North.

Silly. I like that their naming conventions are mostly native.

Hah, Prof. Burke jumps into Wired's Hoth discussion.

The NYT reporter has a lot of explaining to do. Never attack an engineer's reputation when they have a logfile.

Silly send-up of that pro-farmer Super Bowl ad.

I love this entire nerd conversation.

Cool.

Interesting - that availability of violent media keeps at-risk men busy instead of committing violent acts, both as a pressure valve and a time sink.

Pretty depressing. And a reminder that this disproportionately affects black men.

Cute diagrams, although they're mostly beside the point.

Interesting take on The Fall, and the loyalty of dogs.

Scary point - the kids who have been under NCLB their entire school career are now entering college grossly underprepared, and their teachers could do very little about it.

Not at all surprising that it's more about corporate profits than the second amendment.

A reminder of how much of the conflict in Mali is tied up in past actions taken by the US and others during the colonial era, the Cold War, and more recently in the War on Terror.

I am so old.

I go back and forth on who should pay for universal coverage.

A surprisingly open-minded young woman coming out of a near-cult situation.

The future is going to be weird.

It's all about making your position in the hierarchy clear, and Otherizing.

An amazing story, and a relief.

I agree.

This is so damn scary.

Some good observations on the Long Tail and how the Internet democratizes culture.

Awesome science project for students. Nice use of a drogue to control the descent.

Part of me thinks football will be greatly restricted due to liability... but then again, there's a lot of money in it.

Mostly stuff I knew, but some new terms as well.
