Notable or Not

Sometimes you just have nothing to blog about, and sometimes you see a bunch of things. Here are three things I thought were interesting.


Via a lefty blog I read, I finally found some art I can appreciate. It's supposed to be the bull market pinning Bernie Madoff to the wall, but it looks more appropriately interpreted as the rest of us getting the shaft from a flatulence-powered Wall Street.


Via one of Dara's Facebook friends who posted a pointer to Wired, I see that researchers at the Kansas State have mapped the concentration of the seven deadly sins across the US. It's a bit hard to say what this means, but I invite you to ponder its meaning for your place of residence compared with others. Sorry you Haligonians, US data only.


And the latest on the fate of newspapers from a favorite of the geeky side of Internet culture, Clay Shirky. Worth reading and pondering.
