Connectivity Issues

I’ve received a few complaints this week that I’ve been slacking on my posting. For that, I apologize. But my slumlord has a Dell desktop from like 1998 running Windows XP with no WiFi, so he needs the direct ethernet cable from the modem. And we don’t have a router right now (my family [...]

I always find too many informative political and economic articles to share, so I’ll select a few and throw them all in to one post of important stuff you should read to get your week started:

1. Maybe we shouldn’t be blaming our leaders for not being able to lead:

As I have mentioned numerous times before, my brother and his family are vegans/vegetarians/tree-hugging hippies — both for health and social/environmental/ethical/animal rights reasons. That’s why I think they’ll love this story:

When Nancy Dickenson and her stepdaughter found an 11-month-old calf suffering from severe frostbite on their neighbor’s property, they knew they had to [...]

Happened to come across a ton of random things tonight as I sit on the couch, not moving, watching other people Running The Sahara (7500K in less than four months), a pretty interesting documentary.

Like Rubin and Kennedy getting their own shout out for giving me some web traffic from Prague a few weeks ago, I owe a few more people a public thank you.

Black Friday

A quick note on my personal thoughts regarding Black Friday: the dumbest ‘cultural’ event in the history of mankind.

I always thought people were idiots for choosing to live in the Upper Midwest, where it gets so cold every winter (although it’s been unseasonably warm so far this year). Then I happen see this post from Mental Floss on the coldest places in the world:

An Outsider’s View

The Independent, a British newspaper, and the Baltimore Sun are temporarily switching crime reporters.
