Lots of links!
Mixed bag o' links today. I've been collecting interesting bits intending to share Any Minute Now. :)
"Helicopter Parents" aren't really that helpful:
Why Good Kids Are Getting Hooked On Heroin
Are Parents Killing Their Kids' Careers?
And a bit off the topic, for those of you Gen-Xers trying to figure out how the hell it happened, this article may be useful.
Links from folks on mailing lists.
This is sad and odd:
Trail of Spaghetti Helps Solve Hit-and-run Fatality - this site may require registration
And, for your entertainment:
Rock music in lullaby mode
Warning: The page will start playing music when you open it. I've been getting "Good Riddance" by Green Day, so it's not all bad.
Bacteria - WoW-style video of Jonathan Coulton's work after sampling a KFC training video. YouTube link, a little over 3 minutes, and catchy besides.
The mp3 is free.
Warning: that link will start playing music when opened.
You can pay for the mp3 if you want to anyway.
I do not recommend opening all 3 pages with sound at once. YMMV, though. If you liked that time on ST:TNG when Data was playing 5 or 6 different pieces of music at once, and you were OK when it was down to 3, you might be OK here.
