Linksfest: My tabs
In which I just put up all the random articles I've found interesting over the last few days:
- The Least Essential Albums of 2006. An article that taught me about Neil Hamburger.
- Inbred dogs in Japan, land of fads. Very sad. And the part about dogs being mated with their offspring is just gross.
- David Pogue lists the top 10 ideas in technology. I like the flash drive fuel gauge.
- Regret the Error lists the best corrections of 2006. I particularly like the fake corrections (IN previous issues of this newspaper, we may have given the impression that the people of France were snail swallowing garlic munching surrender-monkeys whose women never bother to shave their armpits.
We now realise that the French football team can stop the Portuguese – and in particular their cheating whingeing winger Cristiano Ronaldo – from getting to the World Cup Final which we so richly deserved to do.)
Speaking of which, Kill Duck Before Serving, the book about New York Times corrections, is pretty funny in its own right. - What's the weight of the Internet?
- Fodor's has its list of five not-to-be-missed museum shows in 2007. Speaking of museums: the restoration of the National Museum here in Singapore was very, very well done; and the All the Best show at the Singapore Art Museum was great.
- The AP has an article on babies with "made-to-order defects", such as deaf parents wanting deaf children.
