[links] Link salad knows you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Audible.com has two more of my books up: Rocket Science & Death of a Starship
Rowling and "Galbraith": an authorial analysis - This is pretty interesting stuff around language geekery and automated textual analysis.
Your Favorite Movies Laid Out as Vintage Treasure Maps - This is weird and cool. (Snurched from Steve Buchheit.)
31 More Images Of Hot Steampunk Girls & Guys - Ah, costuming. (Via martang.)
U.S. Pat. No. 1,926,420: Monkey Dog Saddle - I've been on dates like that.
Exercise in a Pill? The Search Continues - (Via David Goldman.)
Scientists put nature’s infinite playlist on iPods to monitor wildlife - Wireless listening posts allow remote real-time IDs of tropical species.
North Sentinel Island - I've heard of this place. Very strange.
Growing Your Own Bridge - These are elegant and beautiful. (Via threeoutside.)
Flying with a little help from friends - This is crazy cool robotics. (Via Steve Buchheit.)
Space-Time Loops May Explain Black Holes - Also the state of my sock drawer.
British space penetrator passes icy test - Bang bang, shoot shoot? Somehow this is very Buck Rogers (Snurched from Steve Buchheit.)
A Waterspout in Florida - I have always wanted to see one of these. I have been through fires, foods, hurricanes. I've even seen a volcanic eruption. But never a tornado or a waterspout.
Why Ancient Earth Was So Warm - Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere kept the planet toasty, model shows.
Thousands of Years of Rising Seas - A study estimates the ultimate effect of greenhouse gases on ice sheets, after the gases have persisted for hundreds of years.
Behold, the six types of atheists - Hmm. Interesting but simplistic. (Via garyomaha.)
One hell of a deal: Pope Francis offers reduced time in Purgatory for Catholics that follow him on Twitter - Is that really how God does things? I'm damned glad I'm an atheist, so I don't have to keep up with this kind of ludicrous score keeping.
Robertson Wonders If Obama Is A 'Crypto-Muslim' - This isn't a difference of opinion. This isn't contrasting governing philosophies. This is lunacy, pure and simple. This is your Republican party.
The Banality Of Richard Cohen And Racist Profiling - Ta-Nehisi Coates hits hard on the more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger strain of racism.
Health Plan Cost for New Yorkers Set to Fall 50% - Obamacare is a real disaster, isn't it? What's this country coming too when people pay less for a better service from a conservative ideal that happened to be sponsored by a Democratic president? This is the very definition of creeping Socialism.
Titles of Laws as Propaganda - This is a function of soundbite culture as much as any thing, I think.
US ties outweigh intelligence 'squabbles' - Putin - Russian President Vladimir Putin has said bilateral relations with the US are more important than "squabbles between special services".
