I can’t remember where I got most of these links and every day I put this off, the links become less relevant, no citations, so… deal. Like last time, there’s a pretty good chance the links come by way of Freakonomics, Boing Boing, kottke.org, and various and sundry other wonderful websites.

• We’re setting the clocks forward about a month earlier. This is going to mess up a lot of people.
• There probably won’t be a lot of YouTube videos on these posts. Well maybe once in a while. But this one is very cool!
• I’ve started to become obsessed with costs and prices. This coffee shop lets you pay what you want. And what if it cost more to drive during rush-hour?
• The East German secret police kept files on EVERYONE. When the wall came down they made the decision to open up most of their files. This guy read his.
• Everyone loves David Foster Wallace, but not everyone subscribes to the New Yorker.
• Michael Pollan wants you to stop eating junk food.
• This guy was a hacker who then went to work for the FBI.
• Now it’s going to get political
• This is how the GOP “Supports the troops”, fucking hypocrites. Most of these links are from AMERICAblog, which has been kicking ass on this issue since Sunday. Aiding the enemy, my ass.
• Germs don’t support the troops either.
• Everyone loves David Sedaris, but not everyone subscribes to the New Yorker.
• All politics is local especially when the Gangster Disciples run for office.
• Better than Mosaicer?
• Three part story of a foreigner in a Japanese jail.
• This will make you feel stupid, but it will help you remember how many days are in each month.
• And finally, another long Vanity Fair article I didn’t read yet.
