→  The People Who Owned the Bible - An interesting little horror story about copyright (just in time for Halloween!) Danny sent me a few years ago. I found it when I was cleaning up the remnants of an old blog I used to keep. It's really worth the (short) read. :/: 1 Comment »

→  The Fix - Sho points me to the Washington Post's The Fix - very much like the Election Scorecard I talked about here. Be sure to check out the interactive Midterm Madness, which lets you visualize who controls the houses of Congress based on your picks for individual races. :/: 1 Comment »
