Random links of beauty
I'll be getting to the speech in a bit but I have a few stray links I didn't get to in the last couple of days that are worth passing on in the interim.
I loved this story. A writer at Wired disappears and challenges readers to find him for $5000. The plan was to stay underground for a month and if no one found him, he wins. A couple of readers found him before the deadline. Just another lesson in how little privacy we have in the internet age.
This one made my heart leap with joy. "Is Glenn Beck's Show on Right-Wing Life Support?" Sara makes a good case for yes. He does keep losing advertisers and the mayor of his childhood hometown is under some fire from the residents for offering Beck the key to the city. The running joke is "Thousands have locks changed." That's not quite true but neither is everyone happy about it and the mayor of a nearby city is capitalizing on the discontent by offering Jon Stewart the key to his city. No complaints that I'm aware of there.
Yet another local GOP candidate caught in a sex scandal in Allentown, PA. Seems he was having a little sex chat on his campaign's Facebook page. These guys apparently never learn.
The newly refurbished Hubble telescope is sending spectacular images back to earth. My friend Carol Gee has more.
And my pal Whiskey Ina hit a milestone in completing 100 self portraits in 100 days. Go check it out, they're astonishing in their variety and their beauty.
