Links should be easy, I seem to recall. Let's try.
- Truth in Church advertising? from Stephen Fry's twitter.
- Richey Manic finally declared dead.
- Tweet Stats - Twitter is cool! Stats are cool! Tweet Stats are double-plus cool!
- The Short Bus Of Social Interactivity - social rules for geeks, and everyone else. Comments are well worth reading too.
- And a discussion of the Short Bus entry on
wordweaverlynn's journal.
- Alex Wilcox talks about liberalism and the bossiness of NuLab, via Doctor who of course,
- ..and about Ian Blair and Damian Green. I should read Love and Liberty more often, and not just when someone links to it, yes.
- Why Defend Freedom Of Icky Speech by Neil Gaiman, particularly relevant in the wake of the Wikipedia fiasco.
- Gay marriage - the database engineering perspective - this is awesome. How database engineers could, and should, be flexible enough to deal with different forms of relationships. With examples. It probably helps if you have a vague idea about making relational databases, but it's not essential. (Also it made me think about changing career paths. Because mine is a dead end, and I LIKED databases.)
- Adventuring Party Politics - the 2008 US Election campaign as a D&D campaign. (Yes, I've been collecting links for a while, but now I'm trying to get the number of tabs I have open to...less than 20. I realise this may seem like a lot, but before I started bookmarking and closing things last night, I had 75...)
- Funky cartograms of the election results showing the distribution of voters and so on.
- The Things He Carried - what CAN you get away with taking on a US aeroplane these days?
Hurray! 20 tabs left, and they're mostly my common use ones.
