Nibblette redux
Yes, I’ve been remiss. Running about setting up other blogs (oh! stop your ears!) and neglecting this one. (Greenviolet should be glad its not my Vox blog. Yi yi yi.) So I’m making up for it by yes, another Nibblette™. This time I’m cleaning out the cupboards of a clutch of old links so I can delete that Curio. (Don’t worry; it makes sense to me.) So without further ado.
Doing good or the like:
There’s no such place as ‘away’ for UK domestic waste — How getting fired improved my family life (Guardian UK) — Reducing by 90% (one person’s plan, inviting others) — Noted: watched a DVD episode of Commanding Heights and was interested in Hernando de Soto Polar’s point of view vis-a-vis the poor and the bureaucracy and reforms
Now, some interesting portals:
Instructables is a geeky how-to paradise — EarthPortal seeks to be the definitive eco-science spot — SourceWatch is watching the journos and others to see what’s true and what’s not
What’s fun? This is fun:
Move refrigerator letters around with Flash (along with others) — Yes, they are cats that look like (Adolf) Hitler — In case you’ve always wanted a custom fabric giant squid, you can have one
In the creative realm:
Brain music treatment may cure stress, insomnia, etc. Interesting. — 1001 Journals (just read) — Love these absinthe bougeois chat noir posters (PS: got one!) — A fascinating discussion of Cabaret. I saw the movie for the first time a year or so ago.
An aside:
The series Carnivale (woe betide those sick souls who cancelled it before its time) revived an old interest in Tarot. There are lots of tarot sites.
And I close with: Pangur Bán, “one of the finest poems ever written”.
