Links of the day
- Snippy! A nifty little tool to cut out part of your screen and paste it into another application. Very handy.
- Great list of Blog/RSS search engines. I've been looking for an alternative to the always slow Technorati.
- Maybe the best alternative is Ice Rocket. Fast!
- Reader2. This looks promising. This site helps you find new books to read by allowing you to keep your reading list online and see other people's reading lists.
- Holy cow, this is kind of slick. A web based RSS reader that compiles all the news from various news sites in one place. Me likey...
- Troubling list of what it means to be poor. Thought provoking...
- Wow. Some dinosaurs may have been covered with feathers. I don't know, this kind of ruins it for me. I prefer them to be scaley and scary rather than big and fluffy.
- This is too freakin' weird!!! Follow the instructions on this page and let me know what happens. It certainly got me.
- Build your own online Lego design and then buy your custom set from Lego. Slick!
- Feedster's ranking of the top 500 blogs based on feed subscriptions and links. Endgadget? Who would have thought...
- I have not had a chance to read this yet, but Malcolm Gladwell (Blink, The Tipping Point) has written an article about what is wrong with our health care system. Should be interesting.
- Has the war in Iraq been successful? Christopher Hitchens thinks so...
- The perfect album? Plastic.com picks OK Computer by Radiohead. Good album, but I wouldn't call it "perfect." "Fitter Happier" is a horrible song...
That's all I got time for. See you soon.

I am proud to say I was in the 2% and also am a genius for the second question. Thank you, thank you, thank you all! I appreciate the applause.

The list of "being poor" should be required reading for human being citizenship. According to my mom we qualified for about three years when I was a kid. My folks hid it well from us, but some of that list was familiar. Great link.

Hey Rachel, I am interested in your views on the Gladwell article too. What do you think? How about you COD?

I'm in the 98%. Interesting.

I'll chip in on the insurance article.
Note how the Bush Administration report on health insurance neatly blames the uninsured for their lack of coverage. Blaming the victim is morally repugnant, but it sure gets votes from the crowd that thinks that the poor deserve to be poor, and the rich deserve to be so, and remain so.
