Music and vids:

Every Now is Everything by Rich Ferguson - video of unlimited wickedness.

They Might Be Giants - Why Does the Sun Really Shine? (The Sun is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma)

Born In The Wrong Body by Danielle's Magic. Beautiful, wistful song of trangender identity. It has a geek goddess and her ukulele, how is that not awesome?

Funny/Wack:

Sometimes you just want to say "FUCK YOU, CAT!"

Picture is unrelated. And NSFW.

The Suck-Free Internet Manifesto, the Heirarchy of Digital Distractions, and the People Of Walmart all want to compete for your attention.

Dungeons & Dragons flavored soda by Jones Sodas, makers of much sweetness. Christmas isn't that far away, so if you have a geek in mind, best to order now. :)

Science and gadgets:

Magnetic nail polish makes star sapphire pattern on your nails. DO WANT!

Thinking literally: how we use metaphors to make sense to one another.

This article is the text that was up on The New York Times here, but Clue saved it so we could have some profound economic feminism. Tell her how she rocks, folks!

Plastic surgery cures migraines, insurance companies are sure to be thrilled.

Defunding ACORN illustrates the political Law of Unintended Consequences. Also a rant against corruption, wasteful spending, and Halliburton.

What a long and twisted tale: the history of spinning is 30,000 years long. As soon as we learned to talk, we sat out on the cave's patio and took up knitting one afternoon. Probably followed shortly by the invention of tea.

And an injectable gel that heals brain injuries has been formulated. I'm buying a pound of it for you lot as soon as it comes on the market. It's the least I can do after exposing you to brain-damagingly long-winded linkdumps.

Magnetic nail polish?

Seems like that could be a bad idea in this day and age of magnetic strips, credit cards, cel phones and computers.

Otherwise, much interesting, especially new Jones sodas.

Wups! I should have said magnetically-reactive nail polish, since it carries no charge of its own. The iron microfragments in the pigment are what change direction and cause the optical effect.

Wow... who knew that Jones Soda was getting so desperate for new ideas?
