Babies born by Caesarean Sections more prone to asthma.
I loved reading this article about modular homes in all of their flavors...
Encyclopedia Brittanica gets wiki with it.
Looking for a reusable water bottle that won't give you cancer?
I am totally getting this game. hahaha.
I don't think I ever linked this article about the winter soldier testimony on the west coast, but it's amazing to me that this hasn't been more widely reported on. It was especially troubling to see the video footage of the hearings...
Here's a fun site - convert any unit measurement into something more tangible. [via lifehacker]
I recently had to wipe a hard drive due to a crash. This little app would have come in handy...
This book looks interesting...

Hey...sorry I have been silent, in case anyone is waiting for revealing entries about my emotional topography. I'm just not up to the task. Maybe I'm too old for it? I don't know. I am thinking about lots, but not wanting to share anything. The older I get, the more obvious it seems that my thoughts are sacred and very few people will really be able to apply them to their life anyway.
Onward to the linkies!
I found this in-depth analysis of right wing editorial cartoons fascinating....
This seems like a good idea, but how about we forgo the advertisement and just create ubiquitous billboard gardens?
I guess Austin made the top ten in yahoo's "Best Cities to live, work, and play in." I'm interested in the measurement of "creative class," as I find it to be a very nebulous description, and I kind of wonder how cities are measuring it.
5 ways to keep your car running at peak efficiency (Or, time to convince the ecologically minded 11 year old to start washing the car on a regular basis!)
This article gets a bit overly precious in parts, but I personally can never be reminded too much to find things to enjoy in the everyday moments and not worry so much about epic experiences. Especially when so many of us have so little control over external stimulus...best to nurture a solid appreciation for internal experience.
The previous link is especially going to be important as we begin this whopper of an election cycle. Brace yourselves...if you haven't already done so. Sigh.
I thought my friend John might appreciate this one, since he is a bike riding boy in Chicago. God, if they made dedicated bike lanes somewhere in Austin...like a bike boulevard? I would so have to go buy a bike and not drive anymore. Most of what keeps me off of the road on a bike is absolute abject fear of getting creamed by a car.
Environmental defense fund has some good videos that explain different methods of energy in layperson's terms.
Maybe my housemate is rubbing off on me, but I really love this fixture. My only thing is...really if it's not broken or unusable, there's no need to recycle something. So, yeah...not really green, but still nifty.
A no-dig garden sounds totally my speed! Yay! [link via re-nest]
Hm...I'm not so sure I enjoy the fact that some apes are better than me when it comes to avoiding procrastination...
...and on that note, I should probably get back to work here. :)

Here's what I've been favoriting these days:
Michael Pollan comments on the recently-passed farm bill.
Watching this McCain speech made my inner speech critic declare that it will move to Canada at least until this election cycle is over with. If McCain wins, it will be looking to wed a hunky Canuck's inner speech writer to gain citizenship. I hear that's legal there. Any takers?
Word Count Analyzer, analyzes word frequency. :)
This is kind of old news, but I always love Mr. Rowland's perspective.
“Our galaxy isn't as messy as many thought,” says Dame, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “What we have found is evidence of some balance and order, like the yin and yang of Chinese philosophy.” (source)
The coverage of these hearings was absolutely chilling.
