- Hussman is an old friends of sorts. I came across his writings on fitness on the ‘net over ten years ago.
- Hussman has a BMR calculator he shares. It’s worth a look, although it’s just a guide.
- This article about an electric car built by students at a Kansas City high school is cool.
- I remember reading E.E. Doc Smith‘s books as a teenager. The Lensman series worked for me, even if the science didn’t quite cut it.
- Twelve South makes interesting productions for
iPride Apple users. This case for the iPad looks really good. The Twelve South folks understand design.
- Waterfield is another company that understand design. Their products are first class without being luxury-priced.
- Inkscape has potential as a sketch tool. I’m considering using it where a drafted figure is not required.
- Scare Tactics is sometimes funny. But, this clip is hilarious!
- Do you see the bear in me?
- I bought a copy of Osmos for my iPad. It’s much better than I expected.
- I lightly watched the walking dude during his trek across America. This articles does a good job at capturing some insight about the trip.

I’m crashing on a project this week, but I still find time to surf just a little…
- Here are a few of the many uses of salt — yep, plain old sodium chloride.
- I admit it, I enjoyed the Lara Croft franchise, even if some of the games were not good. The images of her changes through the years are an interesting retrospective into the gaming world.
- Georgia Wonder just released Siren and it’s definitely worth a listen. ITMS has it for a buck. Support independent music and musicians…
- I posted the link to this Rube Goldberg machine a couple of years ago, but it’s still good.
- The story of the D-Day piper ends here. Rest in peace, sir.
- Shawn Blanc has a decent description of why he decided (finally) to jailbreak his iPhone. It’s worth a read.
- Felicia Day was interviewed by GameSpy this week. In the interview, she describes her interaction with Hollywood as “needing a lot of work done.” I call BS; she’s beautiful as God made her. She’s intelligent too.

Too busy this week… no time for fun, but I played anyway!
- Twitter has options for deceased tweeters. Interesting. What will happen to my words when I die, I wonder.
- Once in awhile one of the email-forwards I receive is actually worth the read. This article posted in James Galloway’s column is one of those and worth the read.
- Have you ever wondered about your neighbors? How about your personal security? A friend sent me a link to FelonSpy, where you can enter your address and access public records for nearby locations of convicts. I did it and it’s interesting to see.
- I knew halibut are large fish, but I had no idea how large.
- There’s a nice bit about R graphics here. It’s worth reading if you’re producing graphics with R.
- PETA didn’t like the Dodge commercial starring a young chimp. The pushback was great! PETA=PITA. (Do the math…)
- Angel Flight is worth the watch.

I wonder where this week will take me…
- Will the Heisenberg Indeterminacy Principle fall?
- The Tea Leaf is a regular read. This week his comments were pretty interesting.
- This bit about help vampries is both funny and interesting.
- This essay on problem solving is prime.
- Out of curiosity, I searched for a list of Sage is an interesting bit of symbolic-math software. It’s worth a good look.

Not much going on this week, except working…
- This is a glimpse into the model of publicly-funded health care. It’s scary…
- Sometimes I think we are a nation of zombies, lulled into a brain-dead walking sleep by our “entertainment.”
- Funny, these terms are understood around our house…
- I love the RSA animated talks. The link is an interesting look at the world’s financial problems. I’m not convinced it’s entirely correct, but the argument is interesting and I think there is some truth in it.
- This short list of R commands is useful.

This week we’re in Lubbock. I’ll surf some and post interesting links.
- One of the things good about the iPad is native PDF. I’m looking at an application for editing PDFs and this review is excellent.
- ArcGIS on the iPhone????!!!! Yipes!
- This bit of youtube video is genius.
- Red Dead Redemption is an excellent console game. I played some during some downtime Friday night. Recommended.

I decided just to call these (mostly) weekly posts Links instead of Linkfests. I guess I’m no longer feeling festive…
- This essay on the impending demise of bricks-and-mortar bookstores is interesting. I don’t know whether I buy it (pun intended) completely, but the analysis is interesting.
- TexTouch seems like a very interesting application. Take a look at the client-server relation.
- The iPhone Controversy really is much ado about nothing… with the exception of the marketing nightmare created by Apple and not addressed.
- Is the Chupacabra still around?
