Work has been absolutely insane lately, and I’ve been spending my evenings just vegetating and trying to demolish my brain with whatever’s near to hand. This being the case, I’ve fallen behind on a bunch of saved links that, until now, have been cluttering up my bookmark file, of use to no one. So... here they are!
- If there ever was such a thing as a “privacy war”, then yeah. We lost.
- Should David Eggers edit the Paris Review? Sure, why the hell not.
- The Mercury News: Hey, government, please give us the data on the gender and ethnicity of some tech companies. Google, Apple, and Yahoo: TRADE SECRET! TRADE SECRET! Mo-ooooom!
- Michael Cader says that people who buy ebook readers are so stinking rich that they ought to pay high prices for ebooks. Well, why not? That’s how premium unleaded works, right?
- Meanwhile, in super-secret treaty news, a new leak reveals that it’s quite, quite bad. And all this time, I thought they were hiding it so we wouldn’t see the flying unicorn ponies and rainbow lollipops that they were planning on giving everyone!
- A Doctor Who trailer. Yeah, sorry – I’m required by Fan Law to link to things like this.
- Bankers like money, give themselves some. What’s funny is how they’ll tell you that it’s not greedy, it’s just that the only way the system could possibly work is to hand out giant-ass bonuses; never mind that the system is what’s crushing the life out of you.
- Social media is scary. I prefer one-way communication streams.
- The great sleazebags of the 80’s. Too bad they had to stick to sci-fi movies, because man there were a lot of slimy dudes in suits back then.
- George Lopez may be the new voice of Speedy Gonzales. I thought that dude had been banished to the land of offensive stereotypes? (Speedy – not Lopez.)
- Did you know the government may have been engaged in hundreds of potentially illegal intelligence act – oh, what do you care? How’s Lost turning out this season?
- Cybermen! (Sorry!)
- What is the government doing with all that baby blood?
- Bizarro Fiction! Is it like Gonzo Journalism? (No!)
- Giant sips are what you take/walking on the Moon (if you happen to be near the polar ice cap)!
- Don’t flip off the cops. They might not like it, retaliate, and there’s not much you can do about it.
