Links

  • Crooked Timber - Zen Judaism (well, it made me laugh anyway)
  • via CT - interview with Michael Marmot. He did some very interesting studies on the effects of status on health.
  • Gilmore vs Ashcroft Homepage - the US seems to have a secret law that requires you to produce ID to fly internally. This guy wants to fly without showing id, but the Govt doesn't want to show him the law that says he can't.
  • New York Review of Books - Terrific piece on Abu Ghraib reports.
  • The Reg - Andrew Orlowski on the music industry and DRM. Most of it seems pretty sensible.
  • via BoingBoing - cool app that overlays a virtual train onto real track. You can see and control the train via a PDA.
  • Scoble - thoughts on how to keep up with the information flow that is enabled by RSS and similar technologies.
  • Gothamist - text is about the anniversary of September 11. What I thought was interesting was the visualisation of the proposed Freedom Tower.
  • CT on the US budget deficit - I liked the quote from CBS Marketwatch, "Get out now while there's still an ample supply of fools." I'm long gone.
  • The New Yorker - on Kirkuk.
  • The New Yorker - on Russia's declining population and impending AIDS crisis.
