Links after a week
When shoulder pain has you down, look to the web for
distractions!
YouTube - Title Of The Song (fun a cappella generic romance song)
What to do when you're pulled over by a cop while driving (mostly obvious stuff)
I'm a fan of this - making a game out of protein folding. Use human brain power to do what computers can't.
A woman who can literally remember everything (really a curse?).
This one hit home a bit: 30 years of Man's Life disappear in Mysterious 'Kansas Rectangle' - at the Onion
New free album from Nine Inch Nails: The Slip
Barenaked ladies have a new kids album that just came out - actually really fun, it's called Snack Time and you can listen to it free here, temporarily (scroll over to it). I like "The Ninjas" and others - all very short, but here's the first video (cartoon) called "7 8 9".
To my friends getting married this year, a toast from xkcd (an eclectic online comic)
Has anyone used the software SuperMemo? You can get it here. Read a lot about it in Wired and will use it to learn/remember something useful (like French for when I go to Paris next month?). You can practice/learn anything with it, just needs a library to learn from.
Ars technica article entitled "Evolution: what's the real controversy?"
This Scientific American article got me a bit sentimental. The LHC will finally get activated this summer at CERN (in Geneve, Switzerland). Here's initial pics of it on the initial internet web page - something I was using at Fermilab back in 1994 and I actually worked on simulations of the hadron calorimeter in 1995 - only 13 years later it'll finally get activated!
