redheadedmuse. "BA in liberal arts or
equivalent experience in intellectual circle jerks required." - Someone as twisted as I am (be very afraid) but with more resources, put together a Striped RAID system using USB floppy disk drives under MacOS X.
- (I mentioned this in a Quote-of-the-Day entry recently) A "product review" of a kitten as a datacenter accessory. Note that this includes a whole bunch of links to other pages worth peering at. Among those are some far-infrared (in the "heat" range rather than the reflected IR components of sunlight range) photos of cats, the famous CAT 'man' page, and, of course, the infamous Bonsai Kitten site. Wait until you have some time to kill chasing all the other fun links before you go here.
- Yes, I know that at least one atheist friend of mine feels that all of the faithful are suckers, but here are some real religious suckers. Not sure whether to consider this a cool way to mix candy and religious imagery or a trivialization of a religious symbol bordering on sacrilege. Fortunately my personal take on religion allows for a large degree of mocking of my own faith, which makes the question less urgent for me.
- In a non-LiveJournal blog, "Riba Rambles", a Norn word, "Bismaak" is mentioned: "to talk and talk and talk about something without ever doing anything". Okay, it's dangerous for me to spread knowledge of a word for that, but it does look like a useful word. (Gee, should I look up Norn verb conjugation or just muse about the fact that I ought to do so and hope that somebody else does it...?)
- I haven't followed most of the links on this list of GBLT education resources, but it looks like an interesting list, and I want to remember to get back to it, so here it is.
- darxus posted a
quote from a 230-year-old book about cycles in history,
that seems eerily apropriate lately.
- "Now Your Vote Is The Property Of A Private Corporation" raises alarms that others have been trying to draw attention to for a while now, about electronic voting machines that can't be properly audited because their innards are trade secrets. This article leans a bit more toward the malicious intent side of things than the others I've seen -- most focus on the risk of such machines being corrupted sometime in the future. (It also raises a point about the personhood-status of corporations that I'm not lawyerly enough to evaluate their take on.)
- I like Ozy & Millie in general, but this strip was particularly worth linking to. The context is that they're in a spelling bee.
- Clicking on either of these should take you to the page that
describes how to add it to your own web pages, if you're so inclined -- current Terror Threat Level icons:
- Pride and Extreme Prejudice, or, what happens when a bunch of people start wondering about Terminator - Jane Austen crossovers. (From rec.arts.sf.written)
- An excellent and insightful (i.e. worth the length) essay by
yesthattom about
honesty to oneself and others in polyamory. I haven't read all
the followup comments yet, but the essay if worth the read and makes
points that extend to all relationships, not just polyamorous ones.
