i love the internet

well, just to freshen things up a bit around here (though not meaning to bump Matt’s beautiful picture from the top of the list), i thought i would share a few links from today’s boortz page.

first: a man wrastled a wild leopard who jumped in bed with his family, holding him pinned for 20 minutes. the best part of the article is that the daughter was in bed with them because she was afraid of a mosquito!

second: closer to home, an eighty pound monitor lizard has been shot twice and still got away, near orlando. i ain’t gettin’ away if you shoot me twice.

third: just for kicks - a palestinian was arrested having “car sex” near arafat’s grave. no mention of how “hot” the car was.

On Experimentation

In which I attempt to describe why Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky is one of the most beautiful records I’ve ever heard and why you should ignore many of the critics and buy it. Right now.

(And in which I shamelessly use–abuse?–better.shorter to drive some more links to my other blog, otherephemera.com.)

3-D printer

How would you like to have a 3-D printer for the kids?

Wow!

Whack

I don’t know the details, but this seems pretty whack.
