Early August Links

I like sharing cool things I find, so checka checka!

1. Blogs:
Mattress Police. Nothing will crack you up with as much consistency as this
Indexed. I love graphs! (Thanks, Greg)

2. Things about Harry Potter
The December Boys trailer, featuring Daniel Radcliffe. I am pro-DR these days. I will argue you that he is turning rawther hunky.
Harry Potter and the Death of Reading. One guy on why HP is ruining the minds of the future. I disagree, obvi.

3. Things about Facebook
Class division in myspace vs facebook. Really interesting look at the stereotypical user of each social network. Apparently generated a lot of controversy.
Mom reunites with son over facebook. A woman found the son she gave up for adoption- through the magic of the interwebs!

4. Things about sex (weird that I collected so many articles... it was unintentional!)
Man cleared of sleep walk sex. Title says enough. With a 15 year old!
Sexual Network of a High school. I thought the graph was well done.
Smart people have less sex. Really?

5. Things about being smart
Reading at Risk. How much (or how little) people read! RIDIC!
Beauties with Big Brains. Found this on digg. I love smart pretty people!

6. Things that are cool
These! I don't get what they are but they look cool.
No more nalgenes! It's all about my sweet new SIGG
Magic toothbrush! Brush and rinse. Turn your tooth brush into a water fountain!

7. Things that are funny
Insults- not what they used to be!
What constitutes swearing! BBC rules
My life as a hot woman. A guy helps a female friend create an online dating profile

8. Things that are generally of interest
What 120 calories looks like. NEAT!
Amazing violin guy plays on the street. Do people recognize him? Do they even appreciate it! FIND OUT!
Plastic Bags Are Killing Us. Really makes you want to bring those canvas grocery bags.

Note. Days without Diet Coke: 6

Yay for me! Thanks for the shout-out. That was very nice of you. I've got a great post about teddy bear world domination coming up tomorrow.

I'll get you added to my links!

The Washington Post article about Joshua Bell playing in L'Enfant Plaza is amazing. I like to hope I'd stop to drink it in, late for work be damned.
