Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Science:
Velociraptor, the predatory dinosaur, seems to have had feathers.
An excellent post on what design means.
Politics:
I saw former President Clinton interviewed on the Comedy Channel last week. He wasn't being funny when he put forward an interesting thesis on the nastiness in Washington: Congress is sleep-deprived. Many of them fly to their home districts and back every weekend during Congressional sessions, and the result is that they don't get enough sleep, and that some of them are chronically jet-lagged. No wonder they are grumpy. Clinton is on to something, no doubt.
Computing:
Version 2.3 of OpenOffice is available, for those interested, which might well include those who can't afford Microsoft Office, or who choose not to use it, but still need one or more of a word processor, spreadsheet, drawing program, presentation program. It is freeware -- there's no charge for it.
OSHA, a US government agency has advice on monitor placement, so as to avoid eyestrain.
This week's Christian Carnival is here. For information on these Carnivals, go here.
