Interesting Things

NB: Generally, I put this list together somewhere between 5 and 7 am...however, I doubt that I am going to have power between 5 and 7 tomorrow, which means no internet connectivity on my iPad (yes, I have one of the WiFi only ones) so...I have some links that were interesting to me over the past couple of days but...just did not fit (as I normally do. I read a lot of news in the wee hours.). As I am typing this on the evening of the 29th, if I do not mention something awesome that happened, or you have found that I am dead due to the Frankenstorm, the zombie uprising, or some hata who couldn't 'spect my skills, it is not that I have come back from the grave to be a...wait for it...Zomblogger...yes, I went there...but rather that I was taking advantage of the time given me.

From the takes one to know one file: Superman is a Hack! The Daily Beast discusses conflicts of interest and journalistic ethics in a comic book...a flights and tights comic. Why, that Tina Brown does some great sh*t.

From LifeHacker: The Five Questions You Should Ask In An Interview Three of these are actually on my list, but I am trying to figure out an easy way to ask someone, "Do Smart People Work Here?"

Old Person Notices That Raising Children Is Different Now. Note that you talking on your cell phone is going to hurt your child's ability to learn language. (The Atlantic)

Because I am fascinated by things like this. I want one. The Memoto Lifeblogging Camera. Via Uncrate.

Via Kempt, The Seven Times It Is Acceptable To Wear Sunglasses At Night. No. 1: So you can be blind.

And finally...
Sylvia Plath's Musings on Life (Flavorwire)

I wanted to share a playlist with you:

Wunder Winder Wonder

And then there is the Spotify Poll to see what type of music listener you are.

There you go, music to make it through Sandy!
