Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to

someone else:

Computing: A Wired reporter liked everything he saw on Facebook, and tells what happened, as a result. Scary.




Thanks to Commenter FancyHorse, I'm adding a link to another article, from an author who stopped liking anything on Facebook, and recommends that habit to us Facebook users.
 
Wired also reports on why we don't catch our own typos.

Education: National Public Radio reports on college rapes. 5-10% of men seem to believe that it's OK to get a girl drunk and rape her, and have done so, with approval from a peer group. Here's a related story.

Humor: Wired reports on the fantastic creatures that North American lumberjacks imagined (with pictures).

Science: Relevant has an article on a two-headed dolphin, washed up on a beach.

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:

 

Science: Yes, amphibians (frogs and such) have recently taken some big hits. But Wired reports that several new species have recently been found.

 

The Arts: Wired has a gallery of artists' conceptions of humans exploring Mars.

Computing: I was amazed to read that a court has ruled that "liking" on Facebook is not protected as free speech. According to Fox News, this will be appealed.

Christianity: (or philosophy) Ken Schenck has a brief, but excellent post (11 lines long!) on the relationship between objectivity and faith.

A good summary of what Theistic Evolution is all about, from the BioLogos Forum.
