Sorry about the lack of posting lately. Been busy with work, and the bathroom remodel at home has things disrupted enough that I haven’t been in much of a mood for writing lately.
So don’t be surprised if some of these links are “old news.” They are. But hey, it’s better than nothing, right?
- Ladies, here’s some advice on How to Get and Keep a Good Man. Make of it what you will. [metafilter]
- Need a gift for the man who has everything? He probably doesn’t have a bottle of these babies.
- Cool iPhone app: Bill Atkinson’s PhotoCard.
- Rasmussen Reports says that Tea Party Tops GOP on Three-Way Generic Ballot. Probably wouldn’t work that way in the rigged system we currently have, but it does point out that the GOP is ailing. [metafilter]
- Cool. Virgin Galactic unveils SpaceShipTwo. [metafilter]
- Thom Hogan has his 2010 Predictions up. Interesting read if you’re a photography geek, maybe. [top]
- A friend pointed me to a video about a Kenyan bike-mechanic’s homemade tools, and it got me wondering why this is link-worthy. Is it because we’re so divorced from simple mechanics that making your own tools is novel? Or because we don’t expect a poor Kenyan to be able to build his own tools? But then I own both Effective Cycling ISBN:0262560704 and The Bicycle Wheel ISBN:0960723668, so perhaps it’s just me that sees neither of these tools as remarkable. But it does mesh very nicely with a TED talk from Mike Rowe about the nature of work.
