linkdump for 4.20.2006
My site went down the other day, due to issues at my host. Conveiniently it went down at the time when del.icio.us dumps my links to my blog. I thought I had posted a lot of interesting links that day, so now I’m posting them here manually.
- UT officials warn students against touching bats
Don’t touch the bats!!!
-
an extremely geeky history of email.
-
CIA now uses blogs to get public opinion data.
-
Don pointed me to this little utility that allows you to scroll with old-school Mac track pads.
-
It says puzzle games make up the bulk of the games women play but I wonder how MMORPGs like “World of Warcraft” and “Second Life” factor in.

Market research firm IDC expects Internet video to to grow to be a $1.7 billion business by 2010. That actually sounds a little low.
OK, that was a real hassle. Now that I’m done massaging del.icio.us’ markup, I think it might have been faster to have just deleted my bookmarks and reposted them to del.icio.us. Of course, this projected wasn’t helped by the toddler who sat next to me, asking questions like, “Why doesn’t your computer have a mouse?” When his dad went in for coffee, he was told, “sit right here and don’t bother that guy trying to work.” Of course, the kid sits down next to me, demanding my attention. If you know your kid is going to bother people working, why are you leaving them alone at a coffeeshop?
