[links] Link salad for a day when I have my computer back
Seizure: from bedsit to paradise - Growing one’s own crystal cave. (Thanks to danjite.)
lillypond, a/k/a my sister, with some Portland car art - Shot right before our lunch together on Thursday. I apparently walked right past this beauty without even noticing it, which is most unlike me.
Hammer and Tongs 1943 - Shorpy with some awesome industrial pr0n.
Evolution of some well known corporate logos - Surely this is a textbook case of Intelligent Design? (Thanks to goulo.)
Stephen Hawking calls for Moon and Mars colonies - I’d go. Would you? (Thanks to lt260.)
Now in Sight: Far-Off Planets - Direct imaging of extrasolar planets. Wow. Just wow. More detail at Centauri Dreams
Mr. Lincoln’s T-Mails - A thesis that Abraham Lincoln was the first wired president, courtesy of telegraphy. (Thanks to danjite.)
Russian church ‘taken by thieves’ - The disappearance of the Church of the Resurrection, some 300 km (186 miles) north-east of Moscow, was not immediately noticed. (Thanks to icedrake.)
Obama’s Fascinating Interview with Cathleen Falsani - Our Socialist Muslim atheist terrorist president-elect talks about his Christian faith in detail.
Bush, Out of Office, Could Oppose Inquiries - Executive privilege 4 evah!
Crimes by air marshals raise questions about hiring - Yep, strong on security, that’s our GOP leadership. Character, too! (Thanks to danjite.)
Goodbye GOP - Editorial cartoonists on the fractures in the Republican Party. I don’t see the wheels coming off nearly so drastically, but maybe the GOP will recover some of its principles as a result of this process. Or they might just go with Palin, instead. (Thanks to tetar.)
