Sorry, I have bad internet and am fighting (currently losing) the good fight against The Procrastination. However, I am on the hunt for some TIPS and TRICKS for MAXIMUM NIXON-POST-ABILITY, so hopefully I will be able to contribute a bit more. In that vein, I will be trying some different ways of posting over the next weeks (posterous and plug in fest!), so sorry in advance for any weird formatting or mysterious vanishing posts.
In the mean time, here is a soulless list of some assorted things I have read recently-ish:
Gitmo Guard and Detainee Bury Differences on Facebook [bizzare]
Divorce Rates Higher in States with Gay Marriage Bans [Nate Silver - notes that while statistically significant, the findings do not necessarily imply causation]
Passport to Survival: Mormon survival manual [for the last days!]
100 things we didn’t know last year [BBC's annual]
Kitchen 101: Cutting [dice'm]
Yemen for dummies [worth a look]
Jeri’s homemade pinball machine [what theme would you pick?]
Matthew Borgatti’s Anywhere Organ up for Fun Theory award [I'm up for fun, mostly]
The Green Canister: Mrs Phillips’s Covent Garden Sex Shop ['Widow's comforters' were available in leather, ivory and wood]
Christopher Lee’s Charlemagne Concept Album [this is what it looks like, and I am all for history-themed metal]
ALSO, enjoy this great picture of Michael Steele:
