Back by popular demand (ok, so maybe not so popular demand):

• Let's get ready to RRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrumble!!! Topalov v. Kramnik for the World Chess Championship. Round 1 tomorrow!!!!!
  
• A List of Celebrity Baby Names
  
• Still Waiting to Be Consulted -- I know this is supposed to be light-hearted and gently humourous and all, but to me it mostly comes off as arrogant and stupid, but in a funny way. Oh yeah, it's a humanist p-o'd that nobody consulted them about Pluto's demotion from planetary status. The author makes a couple of really bad science bloopers that totally undermine her thesis.
  
• You May Have Been YouTubed. Ok, there's something very, very wrong about students secretly videoing their profs tantrums and foibles and then posting the results on YouTube without the profs knowledge. And something very, very funny. The web is both the best thing ever and the worst thing ever.
  
• The Biology of B-Movie Monsters. total /. crazyness.
  
• 6 Steps To Writing A Fantasy Blockbuster, via SF Signal.
  
• Organizing Bookshelves. OK, this one is soooo me.
  
• Black Bean Salad. Good stuff. Tried it last night.
  
• Escher’s “Relativity” in Legos
