New Year, old links

Let's start out with a more realistic plan for the world's largest building in Moscow - gotta put that oil money to good use!

And, as I look for more ideas for the home theater, how about this BatCave model?

With the holidays behind us, how about this huge collection of crying babies with Santa Clause?

Very similar to a murder mystery technique, but this was in real life - kiss of death.

Another link to zero punctuations videao game review - this time on Guitar Hero 3. I find myself stuck on the final 1-2 songs on hard level and they are currently impossible for my hands to beat. Very vulgar humor, but if you can get over that, you may be laughing a lot like me.

If you have access to the journal Nature, here's a recent article about scientists working over holidays. I myself took my first day off for 2007 yesterday (Dec 31) and only went to work for an hour and felt weird about it all still. Happy

NYTimes article on the psychology of perfectionism. Something that describes many of us at different times...

A poster, Death and Taxes, that is a gorgeous way to show where the US spends its money. Adding it to my annual wish list now...

Continuing on this theme, Congress & Bush has done it again by gutting funding for Fermilab - where I got my second big start in physics research. Drives me nuts to see so many brilliant minds have to leave physics research due to lack of funding and have to deal with an up/down budget process. Oh the stories I have...

There's a wonderful site, boardgamegeek.com, that has reviews of every non-electric game that exists and a large supporting community for games. I've set up my profile on it, though not fully up to date, hoping to at least keep track of my games (so many, and so many I haven't played!). Let me know if you're on here, too!

Lastly, while my parents were here we looked at >100 pics on icanhascheezburger.com and cried with laughter with almost each one. This one isn't as funny, but still damn cute (yes, it has the bunny theme)!
