I am starting to realize that I should be less surprised when my friends list hands me the news sometimes days before anyone else gets it. I seem to have conglomerated a group of rather socially concious and interesting people. I’m blessed to have you all around me, even if only digitally. The last two or three weeks, I’ve known about almost every last bit of information that anyone’s brought up. I find out the day of that someone is dead or that the quantum computer is that much closer to being a reality instead of the three day wait the newpapers apparently have.
So here’s the morning spray from my friends list:
- the first review of the new ex-s100 3mega pixel from Casio that uses a ceramic lens rather than the standard glass version.
- a piece of fairly short fiction from someone named Twan B
- The Practically Mouse Army takes on Australia
- for your amusement, Al-Queda Plans To Drop Gay Bombs from the weekly world news. (I’m surprised it took this long. I expected this headline a year ago)
- Microgram Bulletin is the DEA’s publication for tracking the ingenuity of drug smugglers. It’s a very strange, yes interesting list. “heroin-filled lollipops to heroin formed into machine parts to coke-filled Evian bottles to marijuana-based peanut butter.“
- the united states continues inspiring The Fear, this time intimidating the media overmuch.
- art: my mother thought I had SARS but it was really PMS
- apparently this is news as well, though as I’m on the RSS feed, it didn’t occur to me: William Gibson back to blogging
Nothing terrinly fascinating, but there’s still a full day ahead of hot-links, politics, and interesting yet to happen.
